How to personalize Your Wedding Day Like Hailey Bieber

It’s 2019 and Hailey Bieber has just unveiled her wedding dress. An off-the-shoulder, lace gown designed by Virgil Abloh for Off-White. But one small detail has caught everyone’s attention.  

 

Abloh is known for incorporating typography into his design and this time he went with a simple yet bold statement: “till death do us part” along the bottom of her veil. In one photo, she stands on the lawn of Palmetto Bluff with her flowing train and lengthy veil draped behind her giving a perfect view of the hand-sewn text. Those five little words almost broke the internet

Weddings are filled with traditions. From wearing your grandma’s blue earrings to throwing your bouquet to the next bride-to-be. And while traditions are great, this bold detail reflects Hailey’s unique style and should be a reminder to all brides that they deserve a wedding outfit that is specific to them. 

As a tribute to Hailey Bieber — and to the phrase that was reintroduced into the pop culture lexicon — Bella Rosa had a plaque inscription made to match her iconic veil. Now you can curate your own sentimental plaque which will be sewn into the inside of your bridal clutch. A personalization that is special to you and your love.

Hailey and Justin Bieber had a good mix of traditional and unique twists to their wedding. With a classic elegant ceremony in South Carolina with friends and family, following an elopement at a New York courthouse. The couple recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary so it looks like the sentiment “till death do us part” just might stick!

How to Plan Multiple Bridal Looks in 5 Easy Steps 

More brides are choosing to incorporate multiple outfit changes during the wedding day, from ceremony to reception to dance party. For others, it's a whole week of celebrations to consider, from welcome dinners to rehearsals and more. 

Anne Lee, the principal planner at Daughter of Design and founder of Plannie.com, told Brides Magazine that multiple bridal looks could help "bridge the overarching aesthetic of the events.” The decision comes with extra planning so keep reading for the first five steps to start planning out your outfits for the wedding day, week, or longer!

 

1. Figure Out Your Bridal Style

We love any excuse to get on Pinterest, and now is one of them. The same way you approached the design of your wedding week, you want to create a mood board to gather inspiration. Ask yourself, what kind of bride do you want to be? Whether bohemian like Kate Moss or luxe like Chrissy Teigen, this will give you an idea of the style you gravitate towards and determine the style you want to accomplish. Explore bridal mood boards, styling ideas, and dreamy inspiration on our Pinterest.

2. Ground the Bridal Looks with a Core Element  

Even maximalists know that to look "together," there needs to be a common thread. While each event deserves to be treated as unique, planning out the element that ties your bridal looks together will be a godsend when combing through the photographs later. Similar to how you'd select a color palette or theme for your wedding — like barnyard chic or roaring 20s — you want to align with the wedding party. 

3. Find Make-up and HairStyles to Elevate Your Looks

From natural to bold, make-up and hair are significant elements of your bridal looks. The best make-up artist won't let you leave their chair without passing you a lipstick or spray to reapply later. Even the most potent products wear off after a day of eating, drinking, and sweating on the dance floor. When prepping your outfit, the realities of having practical pockets are slim-to-none, so consider accessories that are both beautiful and functional to hold these excess items. 

The Bella Rosa clutch is a way to carry the essentials without clashing with your perfectly curated appearance. Work directly with Creative Director Maria Caruso Martin to design and match a bespoke bag to your dress before it's sent to Italy to be hand-stitched by talented artisans.

4. Consider Hiring a Bridal Stylist 

When hiring a bridal stylist, you want to ensure your style aligns with theirs, so don't be afraid to ask for examples of their work. Also, chemistry is everything with your bridal stylist because they're going to be the fashion-forward bestie that will tell you, "Absolutely not that dress" when needed. There's a level of comfort that will allow for collaboration so you can make your wedding dreams come true.
