Breathtakingly
beautiful Like many trends,
which tend to be cyclical, the '60s look is back once again. If you're wondering
about colour, you can expect shades of white, gold and off-white
to predominate. "Even though in the past they moved away from
these colours, we have come back to them," says hair and beauty
expert Ramani Fernando.
Where
jewellery is concerned, it's time to dig out the family heirlooms.
Long earrings are all the rage. "It really is a pretty sight
to see the brides wearing this kind of jewellery," says Ramani.
But she cautions that one should not go overboard. It's the classic
look you have to aim for. Make up on
the big day? Go natural. People are moving away from the really
made-up look that makes you look older and more mature, in favour
of the toned down look. This, of course, really depends on the individual
as at times you can get your eyes done up while playing down your
lip tone. "The use of gloss lipstick would make you look young
and have a great effect," says Ramani. Flowers always
enhance the bride's ensemble and floral trends too change with every
season. Posies are in demand when it comes to bouquets this year.
"Most often it's the very plain flowers," says Ramani,
adding that if the bride is tall, a long bouquet would be perfect
for her, but once again, it all depends on the individual. Brides most
often wear their hair up for practical purposes. Says Ramani, the
bride has to stay dressed for up to eight hours so it is more realistic
to have her hair up than down. But having
their hair up would make some brides look really mature. "Therefore,
it is best for them to have a trial. You can also have rollers and
leave your hair loose for a more romantic look and a soft effect,"
says Ramani. The models
featured here had their hair and make up done by Ramani Fernando
and her team. They were photographed by Mettasena at the Trans Asia
Hotel.
