The big day
is fast approaching,
and the energy of the moment sweeps you up. But does it carry
your hair along too? Use the following checklist to ensure your
wedding day hair is everything you dream it will be:
1. Which
stylist? Make bookings for consultations with more than one
stylist well in advance and decide on the one you feel most
comfortable with. You should be able to express your likes and
dislikes without feeling awkward.
2. Long
hair, shoulder length, or short hair? It is important to
consult with your stylist well in advance and make a decision.
Long hair obviously gives the stylist much freedom for
creativity but a skilled stylist can also work well with medium
and short styles. Be sure to choose a length that fits with your
personality and style.
3. Have
your hair compliment your wedding dress. This can be done by
both style and accessories. Smooth, straight hair and pinned up
curls are often paired up with smooth satin gowns, whereas a
tulle dress often goes well with soft curls.
4. Take
into consideration your silhouette. If it's along horizontal
lines such as with a wide dress, you'll want to stick with that
look for your hair as well. The same goes for a vertical
profile.
5. You'll
be spending a lot of time at the salon picking out the
perfect hairstyle, so it's best to be prepared. Be sure to wash
your hair the night before your consultation, and try to have
some pictures of styles you'd like to try out.
6. Take a
picture of your wedding dress along to your stylist. This
will greatly help the process along. Also take your veil with
you, and let the stylist know what kind of wedding you are
having: formal, informal, evening, daytime. Alternatively,
consult with your stylist before deciding on your headpiece.
7. If you
are interested in a new cut or color to your hair, don't
wait until right before your wedding. Make the changes during
the initial consultation with the stylist, so that you don't
have any unpleasant surprises down the road.
8. After
you have decided on your style, make sure you walk around
with it. Your wedding day will be a long one and you certainly
don't want an uncomfortable hair do causing irritation!
9. Your
veil length will have some influence on your choice of
hairstyle. Normally, the veil is longer than the hair. It is
often secured in back swept hair (for up dos) and it's important
to make sure the style can hold the veil in place.
10. What
accessories are you going to wear? You will already
(hopefully!) have your headpiece picked out. Flowers, pins, and
beads can be used to add an extra sparkle to your hair, and you
can and should coordinate them with the rest of your jewelry.
It may sound
like choosing a bridal hair style
is a strenuous activity, but the care and preparation is simply
to make sure your wedding day is the best it can be.
Following
this ten point checklist
will ensure your wedding day hair style is a delight, not a
disaster!
