There are many things to
be done when you are planning your wedding and most of them require
reserving and ordering ahead to be sure you have what you need for your
special day. But your hairstyle is not something you can "do" ahead of
time. It must be done on the day of your wedding. Your bridesmaids and
flower girl will need some beauty salon pampering, too. Thankfully, you
can decide on what you want and make appointments in the weeks before
your wedding. When you are planning your wedding, do not forget about
wedding hairstyles.
Customizing Wedding Hairstyles
1. Consider your type of wedding. Formal weddings require different
hairstyles than informal weddings and those that are themed will
require wedding hairstyles that go along with the theme. Whether you
want an updo, a half updo or leave your hair down truly depends on the
type of wedding.
2. Consider the length and type of everyone's hair. Those with
straight, fine hair have different options than those with waves or
curls. If you have shorter hair, you must decide whether to work with
what you have or get hair extensions. Hair extensions take time and
should be done in the days before your wedding, whether they are for
you or your bridesmaids. Long hair that is wavy or curly looks
beautiful when swept in full updos or half updos. A few ringlets or
curls framing the face are very romantic.
3. Consider personality. There is no reason hairstyles should not
reflect the personality of the wearer, even at a wedding. There are so
many choices in hairdos that even your pickiest bridesmaid can find
something she likes regardless of the theme you have decided upon.
Wedding Hairstyles: Be Prepared
As the bride, you are the most important person in your bridal party.
Enjoy the short-term glory! Get opinions from your friends, family and
hair stylist before you go in to the salon on your wedding day. Spend a
couple hours looking through hairstyle books. Invite your bridesmaids
along and have fun picking out wedding hairstyles together! Above all,
know what you are going to have done before your appointments.
Updos for hair that is medium to long in length include buns, braids
and twists. All of these have their variations. Classic looks are
smoothed back and basic. More romantic looks sweep the hair up and let
little curls tumble out. You do not have to put all of your into an
updo. You may choose a "half updo", instead. Looks for hair that is
left to hang down include curls, waves, or straightening. Add some
flowers for a beautiful effect. Dress up short hair with flowers and
other accessories or slick it back for a sophisticated look.
If you or your bridesmaids are considering hair color or a permanent
for the first time, have it done months before the wedding. You will
know if the look suits you well ahead of time and you will have time to
make changes if necessary.
Wedding hairstyles truly depend on you and your bridesmaids. There are
no strict rules other than careful timing and that you and your bridal
party love what you see.
