If you’re nuptial style is more understated and demure rather than massive ballgowns and chandeliers from every ceiling, all things ballerina will be far more suited to your personality. There's something incredibly elegant and beautiful about a ballerina tulle tutu, not to mention an air of sophistication that comes with the gloriously high ballet bun - not to mention the slender, swan-like neck you'll get from a high bun. All things ballerina bridal are in our minds at the moment, and from head to toe, we can help you pull off the gorgeous bridal ballerina look.
Aside from being a practical solution when performing at a ballet recital, the classic bun which ballerinas traditionally wear symbolises romance and elegance, ensuring the audience are marvelling at the dancers grace and not their topknot! Surely, all eyes should be on the bride on her big day? Luckily, this popular bridal hairdo is quick and easy to perform, ensuring a lot less stress and sitting around on your big day! Variations of the style can also be adapted, such as the ballerina bun in rehearsal; this bun is slightly less formal and more-so playful. If you wish to inject more glamour into your look, a beaded headband or something similar can be worked into your wedding day style.
Keeping within the ballerina theme for your big day, make-up wise, it is no different to the hair in its elegant, understated tones. Paler colours such as powder pink or a subtle peach are generally used for the lips whilst the eyes are toned right down to reveal the bride’s natural beauty. A slick of mascara, a light dusting of the eyelids and a demure yet defined brow and you’re good to go!
Finally, onto the most important agenda of the day….the dress. A bride wants to feel beautiful, have each guest turn to stare as she glides down the aisle to meet her husband-to-be…. Yet this can be done ballerina style, minus the tutu! Unless short and frilly is what you’re looking for, ballerina can be done long and elegant also! Take inspiration from the 2015 catwalks, were dreamy elegance ruled. Think feminine gowns with a whimsical twist and throw in a pair of ballet slippers for a comfortable, kitsch twist!
