Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something -- Red! By Edee Beau
As women we can't help but always fall back to our trusted old traditions - the beautiful flowers, the pretty bridesmaids, the stunning white gown, we could go on. Now, we are not saying that there's anything wrong with these good old traditions especially on your big day but why not add your own sexy twist on this memorable occasion with a dash of red!
This is about romanticising the traditional white gown with sultry red lips, sexy voluptuous hair and vibrant glossy red nails to enhance that passionate dangerously-in-love look. Make-up artist Edee Beau from Edee Beau Hair & Make-up Studios dares to cross the boundaries of love and venture into more risky territory by tearing up the rulebook and painting it a deliciously sultry crimson.
Ms Beau has chosen red (which is also the colour of her brand) as a bold, yet subtle theme for her bridal looks, showing that you can have the choice of being bold and sexy or subtle and sultry
The church The 1940's inspired middle parting shows elegantly waved and neatly placed hair finished with a smooth velvet red lip
The churchWe took inspiration from the Eighties, the cute but sexy untamed side parting with the playful love heart earrings
The reception The rose tinted nude lip with a strong smokey eye adds a twist to the innocent middle parted waves, finishing with silver chains wrapped around the crown instead of a tiara, giving the princess a touch a rebellion
The receptionWe were inspired by the 'Hollywood beauty' style with tousled wind-swept waves combined with a subtle smokiness to the eye and a glossy red lip to finish off the sexy siren look
Traditional And finally the traditional gele revamped. Here the gele is wrapped and left with an asymmetrical point adding height to the bride's crowning glory. With a nude peach lip finishing the Queen of Sheba look accompanied by a subtle yet dramatic red smokey eye
TraditionalPlaying with more tradition, the gele is wrapped over voluptuous tousled curls with a hint of gold on the smokey eye and finished with a crimson pout for a modern day African goddess feel
