To ensure that you get the best results for your wedding hairstyle, all you have to do is follow a few simple tips. After all, one of the most important elements of your wedding day is the way you style your hair! You may choose to wear your hair in an updo, or you may choose to wear it down with lots of curls in your luscious locks! Which one do you choose?
That’s hard to say. A lot depends on the dress you choose and the location of your wedding. Are you planning a formal wedding in a big church or an informal wedding in the country or on the beach? How do you like to wear your hair and which ways look best on you? Up, down, to the side, in a braid? All of these things are considerations to make when you think about your wedding hairstyle!
Most every bride-to-be knows the pressures she feels from planning a wedding. There are soooo many decisions that must be made besides just the actual wedding! Unfortunately, most grooms-to-be try to help but end up just getting in the way! They typically don't have our plan-a-bility when it comes to weddings! Thank gosh for girl power!
Since there are so many choices to make, it's good to delegate a few of them! But ultimately the important decisions must be made by the bride. That includes your wedding hairstyle! You just won't have that 'perfect' day if your hair doesn't look great! You'll be looking at those pictures for years to come (hopefully) and you need to make sure there are no details missed! What you wear and how your style your hair can either be wedding-hits or wedding-calamities! Here's what you need to know!
Start With A Picture
They say a picture's worth a thousand words. Having a picture of the style you want is the easiest way to guarantee that you can successfully communicate to your stylist what kind of bridal hairstyle you want. Pictures are great at conveying what it is that you are after and achieving exactly the style that you want.
Plan Around Your Accessories
Planning your hairstyle to complement your accessories (such as an upstyle to show off your necklace and earrings) is the perfect way to add elegance to your wedding style. You wouldn't wear a pair of long elegant earrings with a hairstyle that didn't show them off!
Incorporate Your Wedding Flowers Into Your Style
Placing flowers in your hair is a popular and classic wedding hairstyle tip. Ask your stylist, friends, or mom which hair color will enhance and complement the shade of your flowers or visa versa. Either way, you'll have a well blended and finished look!
Plan A Wedding Consultation
Talk to your stylist about what hairstyles your hair type and texture can pull off and what you can/may need to do (extensions, new haircut, trim, layers, etc.) to achieve the hairstyle that you want. Don't settle for the first style you choose either. Pick several months beforehand and look them over each week. Again, asks your fiance, friends, family members, and your stylist for their opinion too. But don't let others decide for you! Ultimately, you've gotta be pleased with the style or you'll regret it later.
Don't Forget All Angles Of Your Hair
It's not just the front of your hair on show! The back and sides of your style needs to be just as perfect. The back of your head, after all, is what most of the guests at your ceremony will see. Be sure your stylist makes sure every hair is tucked in place where it's supposed to be if you get an updo!
Don't Be Afraid
When planning your wedding hairstyle with your stylist, don't be afraid to tell them if you don't like the style they've suggested or the way something is done. This is your day after all and your hairstyle should look exactly how you want it to. If your stylist does, however, have some good advice, it's worth taking on board. Just don't give her all the power!
Ensure It's Weather Proof
There's nothing worse than having your hair styled into your perfect look only to have it fall flat due to the weather. Avoid problems by selecting a wedding hairstyle suitable for the location and season that your wedding takes place. Also consider changes that might come in the weather. Weddings on the beach can sometimes be interrupted by a hurricane that blew in off the coast! Think about all the 'what if's'!
Match To The Theme
Match your hairstyle to the theme of your wedding. An elegant wedding deserves elegant hair, while a casual affair will suit a casual hairstyle such as chic, glossy curls. You can even decide to wear your hair part way up and part way down. The style above reflects that kind of look. These styles are best suited for semi-formal occasions.
Trial Your Hair With Your Dress
The best way to see if your bridal style will suit you and your beautiful wedding dress is to do your hair similar to the way that you want it styled when having your dress fitting. This way you can see if your hair is the perfect match for your dress.
