#TheLIST: Best of Bridal Beauty

Backstage at Lela Rose, Giovanni Vaccaro, Glamsquad Creative Director, and his team prepped hair with Kerastase V.I.P. Powder in Volume and French Girl Sea Spray, then curled the hair to create textured waves. After scooping hair into a low ponytail, stylists roughed up the waves even more with a blast of texture spray. Then came the fun part: the stylists took five feet of white velvet ribbon and tied a bow, wrapping it around the neck and tying securely with an uneven knot in the hair. They finished the style with OUAI Soft Hair Spray.

The classic matte-red lipstick at Galia Lahav got a cool-bride update by keeping the hair perfectly messy and undone.

Don't get suckered in to wearing a simple nude nail polish for your big day if it's not something you'd wear any other day of your life. At the very least, add a metallic stripe across the nude nail polish for a light-catching and simple upgrade.

The half-up bridal hairstyle got a cool makeover this bridal season. Instead of pulling hair into a voluminous half-up section, just the face-framing layers were pulled back and laid flat with a few bobby pins.

A berry-red lipstick and silk white headband (in lieu of a veil, of course) make a bouncy blowout look like the most innovative and original bridal hairstyle.

Dreamy curls got even dreamier on the spring 2019 runways, where tiny flowers (it's a trend!) were seen fastened into the curls.

A classic half-up wavy hairstyle could use a little more than a sparkly pin and veil to look fresh and new. At Elie Saab, white flowers were glued along the length of the hair for one of the most romantic and fun hair looks of the season.

A floral headpiece this extravagant is only for the boldest brides, but take from it this: instead of wearing a single flower or glittery pin in your hair, consider adding more.

At Naeem Khan, brides went punk. Sooty dark eyeliner was kept glam with the addition of a creamy matte lipstick, but this look was all about the hair. Teased into a faux-hawk, the hair look was anything but safe.

The voluminous '80s-inspired hair flip seen on the ready-to-wear runways also made it to bridal at the Oleg Cassini show. With a glittery hoop, it's for the bride who wants to look casual but not beachy or undone.

We love this look for the matchy-matchy pink shadow and lipstick and the slick and low chignon fastened with a length of thin white ribbon.

At Berta, bold beauty was the name of the game. A Balmain-inspired extra-long and braided ponytail wasn't even the most eye-catching piece of the look. We can't get over how fun a chrome eyeshadow, laid on thick from lashline to just above the crease, looks when paired with a nude lip and statement earrings.

A thin black headband adds a sporty element to an otherwise sweet and feminine gown.
