The Gown:
J.Crew washed crêpe Aveline dress, $750 at J.Crew Bridal, 769 Madison Ave., at 66th St.; 212-824-2500.
LOOK #1: Simple Elegance
Cassandra Quinn, manager and stylist at wedding atelier Lovely, wanted to create a look that was “both dramatic and effortless but still edgy.” Ruben Colon, hairstylist for Sally Hershberger Downtown, complemented her work with a “sultry, romantic” updo. Christian Zamora, makeup artist for Courtney Akai Lash Boutique, finished things off with a glowy blend of pink and peach blushes from Kevyn Aucoin.
LOOK #2: Modern Drama
Charlotte Pinson, assistant manager at West Village boutique Albertine, mixed new and vintage pieces to craft a style that was “regal and glamorous, yet still delicate.” Colon used hot rollers to give the side-swept finger waves some height, and Zamora rounded everything out with a smoky blend of black, grayish-lavender, and bone-colored Shu Uemura eyeshadow.
Look #3: Vintage Bohemia
“We wanted to play with tradition: a vintage necklace and clutch, a stunning cocktail ring to signify something blue, and a new beaded cover-up,” explains Elizabeth Byrne, retail director of Lower East Side boutique Foley + Corinna. Colon fashioned a natural windblown hairstyle befitting a “barefoot bride at a beach-destination wedding,” and Zamora tied it all together with a dusting of MAC bronzer on the nose, chin, forehead, and cheeks.
LOOK #4: Retro Glamour
Blaire Rabenhorst, stylist for Rent the Runway’s newly launched bridal microsite, was angling for “modern Marie Antoinette” when piling on the baubles. “More is more in my eyes,” she says. “You remember an overstylized look, especially in photos.” Colon and Zamora drafted equally memorable hair and makeup—the former back-combing the roots and pulling the hair into a “glitzy and severe” side-swept updo, the latter emphasizing the eyes with a Dior brow pencil and MAC faux lashes.
