6. Add a statement piece to your wedding gown by accessorizing with Kendra Scott’s “Supak” stretch, beaded bracelet ($95) and “Arleen” pendant necklace ($70) with a Bordeaux tiger’s eye stone. Both at Kendra Scott in Newport Beach and Century City.
7. For long-lasting wear, celebrity makeup artist Spencer Barnes gives his stamp of approval to Lord and Berry’s Timeless Kissproof lipstick in Blossom. The deeply pigmented lip stain is lightweight and nourishing (with all kinds of good ingredients, such as neem and sesame oils) all while delivering a transfer-resistant finish. The result is perfectly hued lips that can withstand all the kissing a wedding day demands. $25, at Great Beauty.
