You surely want to look even more beautiful on your wedding day, and makeup allows you to enhance your natural glow. While soft, pastel shades are normally used for bridal makeup, some brides opt to challenge the usual.

Smoky eyes and bright lips are among the unexpected elements, and the looks are both daring and wedding-appropriate. To see these looks, check out our gallery below.
