The Most Popular Lash Styles Among Brides in Canada

Here comes the bride… All lashed and fab! With how expensive wedding preparations are in Canada in general, some brides-to-be have taken to clever little money-saving hacks. One such hacK? DIY lashes. Divas who know their way around a makeup kit can look their absolute best without the need for an expensive makeup artist. If this sounds like you, then we hope this little read can help!

Choosing the right false eyelashes can lift your whole bridal makeup, making photos pop and keeping you comfortable from vows to last dance. Without further ado…

The Different Lashes

False eyelashes do more than add flutter. They frame the eyes, balance makeup, and translate better on camera than mascara alone. Comfort and longevity are equally important! After all, nothing ruins a reception like itchy glue or lashes that peel off mid-speech.

Here are some popular sets.

Natural Wispy

These are subtle, feathered, barely-there. Outdoor ceremonies or daytime celebrations are ideal for a set like these. These are also great for such locations because a quick fix isn't always possible in a field or a park.

Soft Volume

If you want something that looks fuller but still soft and fluttery, soft volume sets are best. These are more for classic weddings, maybe even evening receptions. 

Dramatic Volume

As the name suggests, these sets are thicker, more glamorous, and are high-impact based on looks. If your wedding exudes more formal, black-tie vibes, these are ideal.

Individual Flares

We know some girlies have more sensitive eyes. That said, individual flares might do better for you because they are more customisable and help lift your eyes. Think of them as a natural enhancement. 

Hybrid

Hybrids are a mix of volume and wispy strands. These are better for brides who want drama without heaviness.

If you ask us, choosing the most popular style isn't always the best. Your comfort and ease should be top priority - especially when it comes to something so close to your eyes. 

Ask the Pros:

Photographers recommend lashes that define the eye without creating a heavy shadow or looking clumpy. Wispy and soft volume lashes tend to translate best in both close-ups and wide shots. If you plan dramatic eye makeup, balance it with a lash that complements rather than competes. Ask your photographer during the trial if they have preferences; many have seen what works and what does not under flash. 

Match the Lash Style to Your Wedding Theme

Lash sets can still be styled further. Here are a few matching tips for your wedding theme and for styling your lashes.

• Garden Weddings: Go for natural wispy lashes. They complement soft, dewy makeup and won’t overpower floral crowns or outdoor light.
• Modern or Minimalist: A soft-volume lash keeps the look polished without being over-the-top.
• Glam Evening: Consider dramatic volume if your dress and venue are bold; pair with waterproof glue for dancing.
• Retro: A slightly winged lash or longer outer corners adds that classic, cinematic vibe.
• Boho: Individual flares or light wispy strips keep things organic and comfortable for long outdoor days.

Bonus Tip: 

For daytime ceremonies, lighter styles are kinder to natural light and candid photos. They keep the focus on your smile and the moment. For evening celebrations, you can opt for more volume and length because artificial lighting and flash handle it well. If your day includes both, choose a versatile soft volume or a hybrid lash that reads natural in daylight but still looks striking after sunset.

Do These If You Want to Make Your Wedding Day Stress-Free

• Adhesive matters: Use a quality, long-wear adhesive and do a patch test at least 48 hours before the wedding to avoid allergic reactions. Waterproof formulas help with tears and humidity, but choose one that still removes cleanly.
• Trial run: Always schedule a makeup trial with the lashes you plan to wear. It’s the only way to check comfort, fit, and how they look in photos.
• Trim to fit: Lashes often come longer than needed. Trim from the outer edge, not the inner, to maintain the intended shape.
• Glue application: Apply a thin, even line of glue and wait 20 to 30 seconds for tackiness before placing the lash. This helps them adhere securely and reduces slippage.

Just One More Thing…

Do remember that you're planning a wedding on a budget, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality. And that's where Method Lash can come in. All lashes you come across here are vegan, cruelty-free, latex-free. Lash fibres are soft, weightless and uniquely designed to be the lightest and most comfortable wear - all things that will certainly help make your day a tiny bit more stress-free.
