Whether or not you choose to wear a veil or a tiara on your wedding day, you're probably still going to have to choose a hairstyle. Yes, some brides do walk down the aisle with their long locks blowing in the breeze, but it's likely that even they had help from a qualified stylist! In the end, your hairdo will be just as important as your dress, makeup and accessories because your face is one of the first things you will notice in your wedding photos.So how do you choose one 'do among the many bridal hair styles out there? Here are some tips to help you narrow down the range of choices.
Consider the Season
Summer is the perfect time to sweep your lovely locks high up on your head. It will keep you feeling cool and this hairstyle looks elegant with a backless dress. If you attend any autumn weddings, you can see brides with lots of bouncy curls that frame the face. Long and wavy hairstyles are ideal for colder weather. Almost any hairstyle looks good in spring. Try a smoother cut which leans to one side for a modern, chic look.
Preparation Is Key
When it comes time to think about wedding planning, it's also time to think about caring for your hair. Wash your hair regularly but don't go overboard. You don't want it to go limp or get an oil buildup. Surprisingly, exercise and diet can have a positive effect on your hair if you eat healthily and work out regularly. Schedule a few salon visits in the weeks and months leading up to your wedding to get a deep conditioning treatment and a trim. But beware! Don't cut your hair in the month before your wedding. If you want to color your hair, do it two weeks before, and opt for a professional job even if you're used to doing it yourself.
Wedding Hairstyles and Wedding Dresses
Think carefully about your wedding gown when choosing your wedding hairstyle. They should compliment each other, not clash. Once you know what kind of wedding gown you'll be buying (strapless, a-line, lace, etc.) you can start test-running hairdos. Remember your neckline -- high hair and low necklines look great together. Another important factor is jewelry. If you're going to wear showy gems or heavy gold pieces, you won't want your shoulder length curls to hide those baubles. Long jewelry looks best when framed by a bare neck and shoulders.
Overall, choose your hairstyle carefully and remember to be confident no matter what you decide to wear. Even if you break a few rules, you're going to look absolutely gorgeous!
