Reception ceremony is important, as you are likely to be photographed the most in this event. As those cameras click and the spotlight gazes at you, make sure you exude poise and elegance with the perfect bridal wear for reception.
Let’s take a look at the styling tips straight from the expert’s desk for your wedding reception.
Styling tips for jewelry
Before you choose jewelry, choose the reception wear. A lot depends on what you are wearing. Is it a heavily embellished lehenga or a monochrome sequinned gown or a saree?
- Diamond solitaire, minimal jewelry, delicate necklace & bracelet, and sleek danglers go well with heavily embellished gowns.
- Understated attire can carry heavy jewelry with grace, such as layered neckpiece, gem-studded choker, colored gemstone necklace, huge earrings, and so on.
- Pair diamonds with shades of champagne, pastels, ivory, rose gold, and midnight blue for the ultimate dazzle.
- Wear rubies, emeralds, and sapphires with metallic-toned reception wear or a monochrome attire.
Styling tips for makeup
Want a dreamy appearance?
Choose the soft makeup look, such as nude/peach tones (depending on your complexion), soft smokey eyes, dewy skin, glossy (but nude) lips. This makeup looks great with floral or pastel bridal wear for reception.
Want the glam look?
Go heavy on your makeup with a well-defined contour, heavy metallic eyes, bold eyeliner, and the classic red lips. You can also choose other rich lip colors like wine and mulberry; but go bold in your lip color.
Don’t forget the golden makeup rule:
- Heavily done eyes go well with nude, glossy lips
- Bold lips go well with delicately done eyes
- If you want, you can break these rules!
Styling tips for accessories
Choose accessories that complement with your outfit or one that completely stands apart.
- Choose a statement clutch. It could be metallic or embroidered ‘potli’ or tote bag. Ensure that it goes with the outfit color and embellishment.
- Choose heels that are comfortable, such as block heels with embellishments or the glass-look heels that are so much in vogue. Platforms look cool too. If you dare, you can wear stilettos that go marvelously well with gowns. Nude colors, gold, and champagne shades of footwear go with almost all designer wear.
- For those hair up-dos, choose crystal hairpins or stone-studded clips. Pearls look awesome too. Headbands and tiaras look lovely when you choose to let your hair cascade down your shoulders.
