Bridal season is truly one of my favorite times of the year as a beauty editor because there are always new trends on the rise to stay on the lookout for. And although I’m not planning a wedding anytime soon, I genuinely enjoy watching how people like to celebrate their big day with the beauty choices they make. Hair and makeup are the usual standouts, but as someone who’s obsessed with nails, I always end up peeking at manicures the most.
There’s also always a little bit of stress that comes with planning a wedding look and that goes for pretty much everyone in attendance.
