The [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-beauty-icon-lipsticks) Brides 'Runway Brides' editorial encourages women to embrace their big day with a dramatic beauty look that will be remembered forever. From [Victorian-inspired chokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-heirlooms) to luscious curls and floral embellishments, there are more than a few ways to take a wedding look to the next level. Although some may shy away from such dramatic touches, others will see them as an opportunity to get out of their shell for such a special occasion.

Shot by photographer Katriena Emmanuel, the Hollywood Brides 'Runway Brides' editorial features the work of make-up artists Monique Hanafin and Tahnee Freeman as well as hairstylists Mel and Amanda Teasdale. Smokey eyes, perfect pouts and blushed cheeks are a recurring theme for this [bridal beauty photoshoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comprehensive-skincare-package).
