You’ve had the cake tasting, you’ve listened to the band, and you’ve visited your wedding venue enough times to know that it’s perfect. Have you thought about how you will be wearing your hair on your big day? Whether your style is natural and simple, or elaborate and ornate, it’s worth it to have a “practice” session with your stylist before the wedding day arrives.
Before the WeddingIn the months and weeks leading up to your wedding, most bridal professionals recommend avoiding any major changes to your appearance. Chopping off your beloved long locks or dying your hair jet black are dramatic changes that are better left until after the wedding, unless you are 100% sure it’s the right change for you. You don’t want to look back at your wedding pictures and wonder why you didn’t leave your hair the way it usually was for your big day! It is also a good idea to visit your stylist several times before your big wedding day, to try different styles. Bring him or her a photo of your dress as this might influence their recommendations. You may have already done some researching – don’t be afraid to print off photos of what you love (or hate!) and tuck them into your purse for reference. If you have any hair pieces you plan to incorporate into your ‘do, bring them along. Take photos of your hair from all angles so you know how it looks from behind and from the side. -- Wedding Hair Ideas --
Many FactorsThere are many factors that come into play when you decide how you will wear your hair on your wedding day. First, what are you the most comfortable with? If you hate how your hair looks when it’s down, you’ll definitely want to opt for an up-do. On the other hand, if wearing your hair in a fancy ‘do is not your style, you could end up self-conscious all day - so you are better off to choose a style that will make you felt comfortable.

Wedding StyleWhen choosing how you will wear your hair, take into consideration the style of your dress. A dress with a fancy neckline demands that your hair be swept off your shoulders in order to show off the dress. Wearing a strapless dress? Have a few ringlets sweep your shoulders for a dramatic effect. You should also take into consideration if your wedding is casual or formal, as this will affect how you wear your hair. -- Wedding Hair Ideas --
Accessorize!Your hair is one of your features that you can really have fun playing up on your wedding day. For a natural look, feature fresh or silk flowers in your hair, either tucked behind your ear or incorporated into a fancy up-do. Having a beach wedding? Seashell-embellished combs or barrettes will bring the sea to you! Rhinestones, fancy combs, and tiaras will add to the luxurious feel of a fancy wedding. If your hair is short and you long for Rapunzel-like tresses on your wedding day, try extensions!
Up, Down, or In-BetweenSome brides have short hair, and others have long. Curly or straight, your special day allows you to have your hair professionally done and looking its best. Many brides opt for a half-up, half-down look, using fancy combs or headpieces to tie back their mane. Your stylist can work wonders with your hair! Try having it swept to the side for a modern asymmetrical look. Add a vintage flair to your day by having an old fashioned up do (look for pictures online). Or have your hair piled high on your head for a glamorous look. No matter how you cut it, your hair has a style of its own! Work with your personal fashion sense, your wedding style, and your stylist’s recommendations to create a look that’s all you. You might even feature two different looks – considering wearing your hair up for the reception, and then let it fall in soft cascading waves later on at the reception. You’ve been busy planning for months – it’s time to let loose!
