Bridal Hair Do's

The photo's of your wedding day will be on show for ever and what you don't want is to look back in horror and say " what did I do to my hair"?

So I have put together my top 10 doe's, to help make sure the guests will be looking you , thinking how beautiful you look, and not wow!!!!!!! ummmmmmm your hairs is ummmmmm different moment.

1. Dont forget you vail, tiara, combs.
Please think about your head piece, take as much with you to the hair practice sessions, to check they compliment each other and will this hold for the whole day and evening.

If you are lucky to have this in your budget, book the stylist to stay with you through out to help deal with touch ups. If like me you don't take this option, ask your stylist for just in case tips.

2. Do not leave things to the last minuite
Do book your hair cut a month before, this will make sure the style works. Do not, repeat do not have your hair cut a day or two before.

3. Be fussy
Be picky when choosing your hairstylist, if your hair dresses does not really often do wedding hairstyles, ask for him or her to recommend someone who does.

Go with someone you trust fully, ask friends, family etc for recommendation.

4. Not a time to compete with Madonna
I would never advise anyone to go for a dramatic hair colour change, you want to look an enhanced version of yourself, not someone different.

5. Try a variety
Do try a few different styles, as you did when choosing your dress.

6. Do remember you dress
Your hair should compliment your dress, for example you have choosen a vintage inspired dress, then stay within the theme, as this will pull the look all togeather.

7. Do Try well ahead
 Bridal hair looks amazing short or long, however if you wish for long hair on your big day, then do, go for tempory hair clip ins, but order well in advance, so you can make sure the colour matches and you never know your stylist if a friend, will cut them to make the whole style look natural.

Also try the clip ins for a whole day, this will help you know if you feel comfortable as you may hate how they feel.

8. Shoots of inspirations
Have plenty of pictures ready, photos speak much louder than words, this will allow for no miss comunnication between you and your stylist.

9. Be You
 As I mentioned before, you want to be an enhansed version of yourself, do not feel pressured to go for any style that is just not you.

10. Do remember the Groom
Whilse dealing with all of this dont forget about the groom, do make sure he remembers to book his hair appointment, however it is advised that gentlemen have thiers done a week before your big day

Here are some amazing pictures to get you inspired.
