I can't decide on a hairstyle...
Ok,
so choosing a hairstyle for your wedding day isn't exactly rocket
science, so why is it soooooo difficult? You want to look like you
just stepped out of Hello magazine, but need a little bit
of help. Well you may have come to the right place....
Get
some ideas
Start
by taking a look at our hair gallery
for some ideas, then start collecting some pictures from magazines
and off the internet. Be realistic - is your hair straight / thick
/ long enough for the style you like? Select several photos to show
the stylist at your trial and ask her to try each of them out. Be
open to new ideas and any advice she gives you. |
Up
or down?
Try
to choose a style that will suit your face shape - round faces
suit high "updo's" and sleek long styles while long
faces suit styles that have width and volume. Would you be comfortable
with all your hair pulled away from your face? Consider having
some hair up and some down, or leaving wispy bits around you face
to soften. If you have a low-cut or off-the-shoulder dress will
you feel comfortable with a little flesh exposed?
Curly
or straight?
Once
you have decided to wear you hair up or down, the possibilities
are endless. Curls are soft and romantic, as are pleats, twists,
plaits and variations to the bun. Or perhaps you prefer more contemporary
spikes and twists. Try to reflect your personality in your bridal
hairdo, but don't be a fashion victim, or you'll laugh at your
photo's in twenty years time! |
Tiara's
and veils
These
should compliment your hairstyle but not hide it. If you have
chosen a large floor-length veil, your hairstyle needs to be sturdy
enough to hold it's shape until you take the veil off. Some veils
look better sat at the back of the head under a mass of curls
or a bun. As a rule, the hair shouldn't be worn longer than the
veil.
Tip:
For beautiful tiara's go to Danceworld
Beads,
jewels and flowers
These
are always popular as they add extra sparkle and colour and can
tie in with your colour scheme and jewellery. Pins and hair-grips
with sparkling gems in the ends have a stunning effect, whilst
small flowers can be scattered amongst curls or wired to a comb
to flatter a french pleat. (Try 'Claire's Accessories', 'H&M
Hennes' 'Monsoon' and 'Accessorize').

Pre-Wedding
Trial
Always have a trial well in advance of your wedding, this
aid peace of mind. I usually visit my brides at least 6 months
before their wedding day. (I am happy to visit you if you live
within the areas specified on the Bridal
page). Your hair may need to grow longer for your desired style,
so you can always have another trial nearer to your wedding day.
 Wedding
hair checklist
1. Have
a trial run with your stylist as soon as your wedding date is set.
If possible, take along a photo of your dress, and any headpiece
or hair accessories.
2. Find out if you need to grow your hair length, improve the condition
with conditioning treatments, change the colour or have some highlights.
3. NEVER shampoo hair or conditioning treatments on the wedding
day.
4. On the day of the wedding make sure the bridal party wear button
or zip-up clothes. No crew neck jumpers! This will ensure you dont
mess up your style...
5. Now just relax.....
