Pretty

Ohh there are quite a few things I like about this look.

The casual pink shrug (shawl?), the boquet of leaves and foliage, the dishevilled hair, with ribbon headband..

The whole get up looks very pretty to me

Sulky Girl

Whenever I come across this ad I stare at it for a while. I find it intriguing. She looks sullen yet romantic.. She looks fragile yet defiant.. moody and romantic...

She has great hair but really bad posture.

 

Onya Vera

Hello Cheeky

I'm loving this Child Bride! She looks like she's having some fun at least.

Love the flowers in her hair and the loose hairstyle and of course that big smile

Becca Cosmetics

I have only ever heard good things about Becca Cosmetics.

The company is founded by Rebecca Morris who is a West Aussie, originally from Perth.

here is an advertisement for their 'Skin Perfecting Makeup System'

I am all over this sort of makeup.. Natural looking glowy skin.. 

My colouring is most like the girl on the far right and I have to say I love her hair as well.. sort of scruffy but cool. 

Yes this is definitely one for makeup inspiration folder 

quite nice

cool shrug.nice hair.

She is looking a little haughty but I suppose thats how the photographer told her to look.

Im not usually atttracted to such perfectly coiffed hair but it does look so thick and glossy and glamorous.

Makeup inspiration

I'm not very make-up savvy.

Mascara is about the only thing I use with any confidence. And Blistex.

I'll be leaving my cosmetics to professionals on my wedding day.

I'm not down with the make-up lingo so dont even know how to describe what I want. (ummm.. make me look hot, but in a natural yet dramatic and timeless way please)

A picture speaks a thousand words so have started collecting pictures of women who's make up I would like to emulate on my wedding day.

Here is my first one.  

The girl from the Veronika Maine advertisements. I not only love her make up but also digging her hair... (although perhaps I'd ease off on the trendils).. but really like that loose, relaxed style pulled back low at the nape of her neck.. As for her makeup, whatever it is it looks good. 

Boho Bride

Im loving this edgy boho photoshoot from Cosmopolitan Bride UK

 

Clockwise from top left: 1. dress by Temperly London headpiece from Pickle & Macaroni, 2. dress by St Pucci Couture, flower corsage by Johnny loves Rosie, 3. Lace dress and shrug from Ausgusta Jones, headpiece by Ryan Wilde, 4. Dress by Jasmine Bridal, feather headband by VV Rouleaux 

They have given fairly traditional dresses a twist just by adding an interesting or unexpected head piece. Love it.

nice hair

 

I really like her ruffled blonde updo. Sort of casual unstructured glamour at its messy best.

hair love

This wedding was originally posted on Once Wed.. and I implore you to check out the rest of the photos.. It has been seen on many blogs since because its so bloody awesome.

 

 

I love her hair. It looks relaxed, loose and carefree. I want my hair like that at my wedding.

I also love her cardigan.

And these photos have made me question what sort of wedding dress I want.. We are aiming for an outdoorsy back to nature sort of thing, so I thought beading, lace and that sort of stuff was out.. but maybe it can work... 

what the devil

Ohh diamonte' devil horns... what Hen would leave home without them?

Earthy and Elegant

I quite like this picture. Not just the earrings, which are what is being advertised... I also like the realistic hair, complete with whispy bits.. and the calm stare on her face.
