With fall comes cooler temperatures and crisp, dry air, which creates a romantic setting for you to plan your nuptials; however, it can also wreak havoc on your hair and skin. Whether you're exchanging vows this season or preparing for a celebration of your own (or your loved ones) in the winter, spring, or summer, the changing leaves may inspire you to change your beauty routine or try out a new hair or makeup product.

This month, many couples – married, engaged, or planning a proposal – will want to look their best when hosting friends and family for Thanksgiving, and the holiday also marks the start of engagement season! From holiday get-togethers to winter weddings and engagement parties you don't even know about yet, you'll want to make sure you look absolutely radiant as the host, guest of honor, or attendee. With end-of-year work obligations and deadlines, to a flurry of event invitations, to wedding planning stressing you out this autumn, be sure to take a deep breath, relax, and take some time to pamper yourself with self care. 

From new makeup that will give brides, bridesmaids, mothers, and guests a flawless look, to gift sets ideal for the wedding party, to products perfect to pack for a destination wedding or honeymoon, we've compiled 10 beauty and travel products we know brides – as well as their guests – will appreciate.
