Your make up will determine your whole look, and it’s important that it suits your personality, dress and overall theme. Here are five looks that have always been popular to give you some inspiration.
Metallic
This style is perfect for the rockstar-bride. Go for shades of purple, bronze and silver for a dramatic look.
Classic
Over the years, the classic neutral eyes with bold red lips have always been a favourite. It speaks of timeless class and sophistication.
Smokey
The smokey eye is a good option if you are looking to make a lasting impression. Pair it with nude lips to make your eyes pop!
Fresh
Depending on your skin tone, the natural, spring-inspired look will have you looking radiant.
Contoured
Keep up with the Kardashians who practically invented (and perfected) this edgy style.

We’ve seen it all. The weird, the wacky, the gorgeous and glamorous. Some people prefer subtle and understated, but not these brides. They go all out or nothing. Call it what you will, here are the some very over-the-top wedding cakes.
I heart you
We guess this is one way to portray romance.
Mine is bigger than yours
Bigger is better, right?
Fairytale wedding
We hope they lived happily ever after.
Head over heels
Which way is up (and how does it stay together)?
Crystal towers
It’s all about the bling.
You light up my life
We’re not saying it’s a bad thing, but this reminds us of a night light in a child’s bedroom.
Plenty of fish in the sea
Is the cake served with sushi?

For a romantic honeymoon destination, look no further than Mauritius. The Indian Ocean island has been a mainstay with South African couples for decades and it’s easy to…
Sporting the pixie cut or the savvy bob? No stress. There is still lots to do with it! Short hair is very hot right now, and can go whichever way you want. We’ve got feminine, we’ve got glamorous, we’ve even got fun. You choose.
Gold flecks
These are a stunning new trend and we’re here for it. Simply spray some hair spray and stick the foil flecks on your hair to rock this look.
Tiara
A tiara never goes out of style and adds sparkle to any look. We love this chic look.
Styled curls
Curls are temperamental and depending on the style you want, be sure to try it out first. This finished look is the more put-together cousin of the messy curls and perfect for a wedding.
Gatsby-flair
A classic vintage look, this style goes well with glitzy hair pieces.
Plaited
Plaits are a beautiful addition to any look and just subtle enough to not be overpowering. You can go with plaits around your head or over your head like a head band.
Comb-over
For a more edgy look, the comb-over is all the rage. Sweep all your hair to one side and separate with a path. Make sure to keep the hairspray nearby!

In recent years, a trend has emerged where brides wear two dresses on their big day: one for their ceremony and another for the reception. However, this can…
You’ve heard of miniature brides, but this one is pretty paw-some. Although it’s generally considered disrespectful to wear white to a wedding, this bride made a special exception for her cute little pup.
They say that dogs are man’s best friend, so why not include them in your wedding? That’s the exact thought New York-based bride Jennifer Hindieh, now Najman, and her then-fiancé Alexander Najman had. Their family of three was made when they adopted their adorable pit bull Bailey, who has since been there for every important moment in their lives.
“She’s pretty much my little partner in crime, my best friend, like our kid. She completely changed our lives from the day we adopted her,” Jennifer told I Love Dogs. “We love giving her the best life she can have and wouldn’t feel right not having her be a part of our wedding.”
So when wedding planning came around, they decided that Bailey should match her mom in a wedding dress of her own. Bailey’s custom made wedding dress was ordered from Etsy, and featured a ruffle skirt with diamante applique.
“I decided to get her a dress because honestly, she is my family, my baby and our life with her is what makes every day so special,” Jennifer told The Dodo.
Bailey looked absolutely adorable as she walked down the aisle alongside her mom. We’re sure the wedding was a barking good time.
