Mimic Hot Celebrity Style On Your Wedding Day

Angelina Jolie

Outrageously gorgeous, bold and spirited, Angelina Jolie is a lightning rod for controversy; however, she also evokes Old Hollywood glamor that (despite her array of edgy tattoos) always feels timeless.

Angelina’s style is classic – if you’ve seen her in her street clothes in paparazzi shots, you’ll know she favors skirts to the knee, fitted trousers, sweater sets, boots and simple pumps, and she keeps accessories to a minimum. However, her beautiful chestnut hair is always perfect (whether worn up or down), and her makeup is consistently flawless.

At night, on the red carpet, Angie unleashes her undeniable sex appeal with a formitting evening dress that tends to display a certain simplicity. With lips and eyes like Angelina Jolie’s, a lot of ruffles or jewels are not necessary, so she keeps it classic, with a touch of postmodern minimalism.

bridal gowns

To get the Angelina Jolie look on your wedding day, choose a sophisticated gown, such as the stunning bridal dress shown above, and wear your hair in soft, controlled waves – after all, Angelina rarely goes in for fussy updos.

Makeup should be subtle, but still dramatic – Angelina always does a cat-eye look by lining her upper eyelid in black eyeliner and extending the line upward, for a winged effect. However, she doesn’t apply eye makeup to her lower lashes. This glam look makes the most of almond-shaped eyes, and it’s very elegant. Angie plays down her famous, full pout with earth-toned, beige-y lipstick – however, once in a while, she’ll choose a bold crimson or orange-red lip color that stands out beautifully against her pale olive skin tone.

Once you’ve found the wedding dress of your dreams, high heels and gorgeous bridal rings will be all you need to capture this hot celebrity look. Be sure to look for wedding dress alterations if you need them, as a perfect fit is really important for this high-end look.

Taylor Swift

bridal dress

Innocence and all-American wholesomeness define the style of natural beauty (and Cover Girl spokesmodel) Taylor Swift. This young singer-songwriter is known for her delicate features, alabaster skin, and curly blond tresses. Lately, Taylor’s been appearing in more grown-up hair and makeup, but her lean, elegant build and angelic face still lend a fresh, feminine, and youthful look to whatever she puts on.

To get a Taylor Swift-style wedding look, go for a deep side part of lush curls, and keep your makeup rosy, dewy, and girly. Flushed cheeks, rose-pink lips, and eyes lined in a little smoky charcoal eyeliner or eyeshadow will work perfectly for this look – avoid earth tones if you also have pale skin, like Taylor’s. Use shimmer powder on the decolletage and arms to add a “stardust” effect that is dazzling under bright lights.

Perfect wedding dresses that mimic the Taylor Swift look include the pretty corseted style shown above – always choose pure white, rather than cream, to highlight the fairytale beauty of this sort of look…

Zooey Deschanel

wedding dress

Indie “It” girl Zooey Deschanel is an actress with a distinctive hipster- vintage look and a love of girly dresses with a Fifties vibe. Her thick, dark mane and bright blue eyes have made her a natural choice for ingénue roles in film and television. Married to a member of alt-rock band Death Cab For Cutie, Zooey is also starring in a new television series, New Girl, this fall…

To get Zooey’s cool retro look, choose a knee-length wedding dress that nips in at the waist – accessorize with thick bangs, a pretty headband, and high heels. Red lips will work well, if you’re pale with dark hair, like Zooey. Whatever makeup you choose, keep it very light and natural, except for the lips, which should contrast with your skin and hair.

Daring Bridal Gowns For Fashionistas

bridal dress

 

High style is about pushing the envelope and taking chances. On the runways of Paris and New York City, designers create fresh silhouettes that give women a whole new attitude.

The way you dress says a lot about you…if you love the glamor, chic and imaginative styles of the world’s top fashion designers (such as the late Alexander McQueen, and Miuccia Prada), you should mimic this couture effect on your own wedding day.

If daring, stunningly sophisticated style straight out of Vogue Magazine is what you crave for your white wedding dress, Best for Bride can make it happen for you…without the sticker shock of a $100,000 dollar couture bridal dress! Here are some of our most original and inspiring designs for this season:

A Hint Of Spanish Influence Adds Passion And Drama To Our Bolero Wedding Gown

bridal gown

A superbly fitted bolero jacket with gorgeous, embellished 3/4 sleeves adds high-fashion appeal to this unforgettable wedding dress. The delicate satin bodice hugs the body all along the torso and through the hips, and a frothy skirt, featuring extravagant layers of light-as-air tulle, adds fantasy and feminine beauty to the design.

This design needs very few (if any) wedding accessories; it stands alone as a shining example of creativity and skilled workmanship. To capture the Spanish influence in your hair and makeup, consider a sleek center part hairstyle with a low ponytail or chignon. A strong lip will balance the drama of this gown – bold, fiery red or magenta will work well.

If you choose this spectacular wedding gown for your special day, you’ll treasure it forever…

Enjoy A Dazzling, Modern Frock With Art Deco Influences

wedding dress

Subtle beading that evokes the elegant beauty of Art Deco design and architecture adds a touch of vintage-inspired beauty to the clean, minimalist lines of this sophisticated bridal gown.  Sexy halter styling is balanced by a traditional bodice and skirt that are completely appropriate and ladylike.

This bridal dress is the perfect melding of old and new; overall, though, its look is sleek and current. To mirror the Deco influences, do your hair in Flapper Era finger waves, or sport a chic, razor-cut bob with bangs.

Makeup should feature a strong, smoky eye to play up the streamlined, low key seduction of this stunning wedding dress. Skip the veil – you really do not need it with a couture-inspired dress like this! However, you should definitely treat yourself to a striking pair of stilettos to add height and drama…

wedding gown

Couture gowns often feature a luxurious assortment of embellishments, including rich beading and appliqués; this lustrous, pearl-white bridal gown channels the late-night glamor of Versace or Ungaro couture evening dresses. Scalloped straps covered in shining, sparkling embellishments highlight a bustier-style bodice finished with delicate, slimming bands of gleaming satin.

Perfect for women with hourglass figures, this design is sure to thrill any fashionista who really wants to make a splash as she walks down the aisle.

Confidence Is The Only Accessory You Need

With wedding dresses like these, the only accessory you really need is confidence; if you have this, you will be ready to show your style on the most romantic day of your life.
