2011 brides will find that they have some lovely options for elegant cover ups. This is a wonderful thing for a cold weather bride, of course, and also a great option for a bride who wishes to make her strapless gown more conservative for a church ceremony. The cover up can be quickly removed for the reception, allowing for a fresh new party look.

Polished hair and makeup. After several years of beachy bridal hair, the trend has swung back towards a more classic elegant look. Smooth chignons, braided buns, and other classic pulled-back hairstyles make a wonderful accompaniment to the 1950s gowns which are so popular for 2011. They give brides a sophisticated ladylike appearance which is absolutely gorgeous. Makeup will be equally polished for the next season. Think red lipstick, soft eye makeup, and of course a radiant bridal glow!
