Hello brides! My anniversary is this week - which always makes me nostalgic - and I tend to wonder how I would have done my makeup differently knowing what I know now (since I wasn’t a professional makeup artist back then). While you might want to hire a pro for the actual wedding, there are several other events/parties/photos/the honeymoon when you’re on your own. So this week’s series of different wedding looks is for you!

This post is all about focusing on your lips. You don’t see a ton of actual brides with bold lipstick because - let’s be honest - there’s the big kiss and we don’t want the lipstick all over the place. There’s no reason you still can’t have a bright shade for your wedding if you know what you’re doing, and you can certainly highlight your pout for all the other festivities.
