Bridal Hair – Getting it Right
You are done planning the ceremony, the rehearsal dinner’s all set and the entourage is completely perfect, now you’ve got to inch into the little details of the most important person of the event: You. As the queen of the night, you should look radiantly glamorous from head to toe. So, here are some tips on how to choose and use wedding headpieces appropriately.
Decide on a hairstyle. Before starting a big mall hunt, first decide on your hair style. Have you got luscious straight long locks? Or do you want to flaunt your rich wavy hair on the big day? Evaluate your hair. If you think you want your hair to be longer, use hair extensions. If you want it to be shorter, consider getting a new haircut. Imagine how your face will look like when your hair is pulled up, brushed down, curled, twirled, and other styles. Know what accessory would give off your best features and which ones would look out of place.
Research headpieces. Don’t hit the stores until you have done some research about head pieces on the web. Know the difference between tiaras, tiara combs, bun wraps and wreaths – figure out which hairstyles would look good on each. You can also meet with a hairstylist to seek professional advice on which piece matches well your hair, your face and your head size. Bringing a photo of your favorite celebrity bride may help you find a great theme but remember, what works for her might not work for you as well. There are also a lot of forums for brides on the internet where you can ask opinions of others in your position. you can even post links to your favorite tiaras, headpieces, or hairstyles online and ask them for their opinions about specific items.
Shop. Try on as many headpieces as possible or as time allows. Visit a variety of stores to see the latest trends and updates on wedding accessories. Keep in mind your dress, hair, face and the look you are going for. Sometimes the look you had in mind when you started looking at different hairstyles is not the one you finally decide to use. We don’t always know what will look the best until we are inspired, and your job is to look for that inspiration.
Test run. Weeks before the wedding, set up an appointment with your hairstylist and do a dry run with your hairstyle along with the headpiece. If possible, bring your veil along to try on with your hairstyle. This will help you visualize the whole look. Ideally, you should do this at least 3 weeks prior to the big day to allow ample time for necessary modifications. It is still not too late to get a haircut and try on different accessories if you are not happy with what you bought before. You may want to schedule hair treatments to fix dryness, split ends or frizzy hair.
Lastly, be ready and expect the unexpected. Remember to bring extra hair pins, hair ties, styling aids, curling iron and blow dryer for all of your hair emergencies – be it for the bride, the groom and or the bridesmaids.
