Fall weddings will always be a favorite, especially here in North Carolina... with their cozy vibes, rich tones, and romantic ambiance. As we step into the 2025 wedding season, brides are leaning into beauty trends that are both elevated and effortless. Whether you're planning a crisp outdoor ceremony or an intimate candlelit reception, these Fall 2025 bridal hair and makeup trends will inspire your dream look.
Velvety Skin with a Matte-Glow Finish
Forget heavy contouring—this season is all about soft-focus skin. Brides are opting for velvety matte finishes that still look luminous, thanks to blurring primers and radiant setting sprays.
Pro tip: I love using the Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation for a natural, buildable base that photographs beautifully.
Pro tip: ICONIC LONDON'S Prep Set Glow Hydrating Glowy Setting Spray is fire for that glowy finish.
Matte-Glow Finish Cinnamon and Burnt Rose Eyes
Warm, earthy tones are dominating Fall 2025 eyeshadow palettes. Think cinnamon browns, terracotta, and smoky rose—all of which flatter every eye color and pair beautifully with autumn florals.
Look to try: A soft cut crease with a smoked-out liner and a touch of shimmer on the inner corners.
Cinnamon Eyes Brushed, Sculpted Brows
Brushed-up, fluffy brows are still in—but now with a bit more structure. Fall brides are leaning toward full, feathered brows with soft definition and clean arches.
Go-to product: Rare Beauty's Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting and Laminating Eyebrow Gel.
Brushed, Sculpted Brows Lived-In Texture and Soft Updos
Effortless is the vibe for bridal hair this fall. Think undone buns, tousled ponytails, and soft twists with natural volume. This pairs perfectly with varying wedding dress styles.
Lived-in Texture | Soft Updo Statement Lips in Moody Hues
Fall is the time to go bold with lips. Brides are loving deep berry stains, burnt sienna, and muted brick red tones. For a modern twist, pair a bold lip with a clean eye and soft lashes.
Fall fave: Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Medium or Makeup by Mario’s Nicki for long-lasting pigment.
Statement Lips in Moody Hues Soft Glam Meets 90s Minimalism
Fall 2025 is embracing a happy medium between glowy glam and minimalist chic. Expect clean eyeliner, monochrome blush, and delicate highlighting for a modern bride who wants to feel fresh but elevated.
