As a hair and makeup artist, I've had the pleasure of working with a lot brides to help them achieve their dream wedding look. Autumn weddings hold a special charm, with the vibrant leaves and crisp air creating a magical vibe for your special day. If you're planning to tie the knot during this beautiful season, here are some essential tips and considerations to ensure you look stunning as you say "I do"!

Seasonal Makeup Palette

Embrace the rich and warm tones of autumn with a makeup look that compliments the season. Consider earthy hues like deep burgundy, warm terracotta, and elegant shades of brown for your eyeshadow and lip colour. These colours not only align with the fall aesthetic but also enhance your natural beauty in the cozy autumn light.

Hydrated Skin

The autumn air tends to be drier, which can affect your skin's hydration levels. Start a skincare routine well in advance of your wedding day to ensure your skin is well-moisturized and glowing. Make sure you’re moisturizing in the morning and at night, at the very least.

Hairstyles to Suit the Season

When it comes to hairstyles, consider options that complement the fall season. Elegant updos adorned with seasonal flowers or autumn-inspired hair accessories can add a touch of seasonal charm. Loose, romantic waves can also create a soft and whimsical look that pairs perfectly with fall's natural beauty.

Dress for the Season

Choose a wedding dress that suits the fall weather. Long-sleeved gowns or dresses with intricate lace details can provide warmth and elegance. Remember to coordinate your dress choice with your makeup and hairstyle to create a cohesive and enchanting bridal look.

Cozy Wraps

Autumn evenings can get chilly, so having a beautiful wrap or shawl on hand is both practical and stylish. Opt for something that complements your wedding attire and can be easily draped over your shoulders when needed.

Plan for Rain

Fall weddings ( especially in Vancouver ) often come with the possibility of rain. Be prepared with stylish umbrellas and backup indoor photo locations to ensure your day goes smoothly no matter the weather.

In conclusion, planning an autumn wedding offers a unique opportunity to embrace the season's warmth and beauty. By incorporating these fall essentials into your wedding preparations, you'll not only look breathtaking but also enjoy a memorable celebration that reflects the charm of this magical season. Here's to a picture-perfect autumn wedding filled with love and unforgettable moments!
