Decollate:

This refers to your collar bone, upper chest area. If you love this part of your body and your dress has a lower neck line then have some fun adding gems, sparkles or even designs. Chances are if you love this part of your body than your partner does too and they would love to see it accentuated.

Cheeks:

If you have great cheek bones then of course you will want to show those off on your wedding day. Using a bronzer or some foundation a few shades darker you can use the contouring method and make them pop a little more. You could also take a more blush colour a little more bold than you usually use and sweep that over your cheeks.
