Florida Gulf Coast Bridal Shoot
What’s even better than a beautiful beach and a sunny day? A glowing lovely bride as your subject! Amanda truly outshined the waves, the beach, and the sky with her amazing smiles as she posed in front of the cam wearing her beautiful wedding gown. I love how versatile she is when it came to her poses, she went from being adorable to “Vogue” in just a matter of few pictures. Her and her album can truly serve as an inspiration if ever you’re looking to have a bridal shoot of your own.

2015 Beach Wedding Makeup Looks
Are you still wondering how to wear your makeup for your 2015 beach wedding? Well we have some great ideas for you today. Check out these amazing looks that are perfect for an elegant, gorgeous beach wedding:
The Glowing Bride
We love this look because it’s elegant and beautiful, but still appropriate for outdoors. A darker shade has been used across the eye, with a slightly shimmering highlighter just under the brows. Highlighter has also been added to the cheekbones, as well as a warm blush shade. The lips are nude, with just a sheen of gloss. The overall look is beautiful!
Pretty in Pink
This is such a warm, girlish look that is really charming. The top eyelids have been lined and a small amount of dark shadow has been added just above the lash line on the top lid. A warm brown eyeliner is added to the lower lid. Fresh pink blush has been added to the cheeks and a flattering pink lip color sets off the look. Overall, this is a beautiful and youthful look.
The Natural Look
If you want to keep it more natural, this is a wonderful look for highlighting your best features. The eyes have been lined in a soft coal eyeliner, and the eyeshadow is a nude color with a slight shimmer. A very light pink tint has been added to the lips as well as a gloss, and a warm pink blush highlights the cheeks.
Dramatic
This look is absolutely perfect for women with darker skin. A black eyeshadow is applied to make the eyes look bigger and softer – it is applied to the top eyelid and just under the lash line on the bottom lid. Virtually any color lipstick can be worn but we love the wine-color used in this example. It’s dramatic and beautiful without being overdone – perfect for a beach wedding.
These looks are absolutely stunning and very versatile – they will work well for the outdoor ceremony and transition perfectly over to the indoor reception. Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below!
