Wedding Day Hairstyles
Brides have a lot to do for their wedding so stressing out over how to wear your hair is a waste of energy. Sit back, relax and I'll help you find the right hairstyle for your wedding day. Since you have a lot to consider when choosing your bridal hairstyle, let's make it simple by taking it one step at a time. The first thought is – what looks best on you? If you have long hair do you look more beautiful with your hair up or down? If you have short hair do you prefer a soft, wispy look or do you prefer your hair to be gelled? You may want to select a hairstyle that reflects your personality. If you are a casual person that usually wears your hair in a ponytail or just natural, then you may want to keep your wedding hairstyle simple rather than go with a formal, perfectly coiffed hairdo. Shape of your face for wedding day hairstyles
Brides should choose a style that compliments their face. A bride that has an oval face has less to worry about; almost any style goes with an oval face. However, if you have bangs be certain that you don't have too much hair on your face. Square faces, look best with layered, wispy hairstyles or consider wearing your hair up to give you a heightened look. Round shaped faces should go for height and volume; this will help lengthen your face. Brides with heart shaped faces can choose a style that sweeps a small amount of hair across their brow to give them a more oval shaped look.
What type of wedding will you be hosting? Will it be a formal or informal wedding? Formal weddings tend to lend themselves to updos. Brides that are planning an informal wedding can choose to wear their hair down. Dress Style for wedding day hairstyles
If you're wearing a high collar dress, you may want to consider wearing your hair up so that your hair doesn't compete with your dress and look like there's too much going on around your face. If you like a chic, modern look try slicking your hair back or have a sleek blow out. For Victorian or country weddings you hair will look great in loose curls with pearls or small flowers. If you have very short hair, consider using extensions to give you a more period look. Think of a tiara or jeweled hair accessories for a fairy tale, romantic wedding. A French twist or a bun at the nape of your neck will work well for a Disney wedding theme. Hair stylist If you have a good stylist, stick with him or her; if not start looking for a stylist at least five months ahead of your wedding. Let the stylist get to know you and your personality so he/she can make some suggestions. If you and the stylist aren't clicking, look for another stylist. Another wedding day hairstyles picture
Once you have chosen a stylist have a contract drawn up detailing the cost, who will bring the accessories if you are using them, where and what time the stylist will begin doing your hair on your wedding day. Make certain the stylist has directions to where they will be doing your hair and if their transportation costs are included. Have the stylist's name written in the contract, I've seen brides disappointed on their wedding day because the stylist sent another person to do the bride's hair on their wedding day. Wear a shirt with buttons so that you don't ruin your hair trying to get your top off. It can be a few weeks between the time you choose a hair style and your wedding. Take a picture of the hair style that you have decided upon so you and the stylist remember which hairdo you choose. Remember to tip your stylist! Whatever wedding day hairstyle you choose, be certain that you or your stylist practice doing your hair several months ahead of your wedding day. If you're wearing a veil make sure you have a way to secure the veil into your hair and that it looks good with the hairstyle that you have chosen. Purchase your accessories (bobby pins, pearls, crystals, combs or hair sticks) ahead of time and do a complete check by putting your dress on and make certain that it all goes together and you feel beautiful.
