A bridal portrait “is a lifetime reminder of how beautiful, happy and elegant every bride looked on her day.”

3 amazing vendors – all talented women – teamed up for today’s BN Bridal Beauty feature – their take on the perfect bridal portrait. They styled and shot 3 models in both white and traditional looks using gele, dazzling jewelry and even a turban.

Gaz focused on capturing strong portraits that would emphasize the bride’s beautiful features, style and elegance. The makeup artist – Sade of Beauty by Queen, went for bold looks sure to make a statement. Lastly, Lola of El-Mai speaks on the hairstyles for the shoot:

Bridal hair styles should be clean, classy and chic. We went for this three bridal hair looks at our photo shoot considering the facial shape, body structure, hair length and occasion.

Enjoy and be inspired!
