Tips For Getting a Great Wedding Hairdo

Weddings may happen to you once or maybe twice in your life. We all want our hair and all other details to be just perfect.

Your dream hairstyle

Here are some ideas on how to choose a wedding hair style:

Most women will admit to having at least a few fantasies about her future wedding since childhood. Even the most extreme tomboy has dreamed of her wedding more than once. When you had daydreams about your wedding, what did you hair look like? Was it styled with a glamorous French braid with tendrils hanging down your neck? Or – as your new husband carried you over the threshold did you loosen your hair to cascade you’re your shoulders? To make sure you don’t regret anything later on, you should always confess to your fantasies ahead of time.

Your Wildest Dreams Can Become Real.

Occasionally, it turns out that your dream hairdo bears little resemblance to the hairdo you actually end up with. For longer, thicker hair, consider extensions if your hair is short and thin. You need to recognize how far you have to go to get from here to there, in short. If you want a chignon but don’t want the bangs in your new hairdo, you should start getting your bangs longer now.

Look at your options.

The info to be found online is astounding. From curly to straight to ethnic styles from sleek to braided to bouffant and you’ll find galleries of hair styles for hair. Find out what appeals to you, and print out those styles that really catch your eye, so that you can share them with your stylist, but the idea is to broaden your outlook a little.

Talk to a real professional.

Along with who you can afford, and who is available on your wedding day, there are still a few more things you need to consider, and for this, you’ll need to revisit your wedding fantasies again and also find a professional stylist who you feel comfortable with, and who feels confident working with your type of hair. Do you see yourself coming from a downtown salon, hair freshly done, bridesmaids in tow, or is your fantasy more of the in-my-bathrobe-with-the-stylist-at-my-home variety? If that is what you want be sure to check that the hairdresser will visit your home, and that you have the materials for her to give you your dream wedding hairstyle. Consider power outlets, sinks, and lighting). Ranging from whether or not you’ll be wearing a veil to when she can expect to be paid for her wedding day work, your stylist will have plenty of questions for you, too. You will want to plan out the details in advance so there won’t be any last minute problems when the big day comes.

The dress.

Unless you are donning a special period piece you don’t need to worry too much about matching your wedding hair style with your wedding dress. You’ll certainly want to see how your hair sits with your chosen neckline, but chances are it will look great whether you wear it up or down. If you are having a very formal wedding, you will probably want to move the mood up a level by wearing your hair in an up do.

Be ready to pay. You’ll have to pay for your hair styling just like you’re paying for everything else – someone had to break this to you, better that it were me. If it seems like everything costs more than it does normally, you’re experiencing what I call “the wedding surcharge” – people charge up to 25% more for their services because, well, because they can – things do cost more when you’re getting married. However, even if you want to save money, you certainly don’t want to cut back on your hair.

Re-hair-sal.

A practice run is just what it sounds like. The hair stylist works out your styling choice in advance in order that you can preview it. Even if you tell the hairdresser to please themselves with the style, your practice run will give you an idea of how s/he works. A little more puff on top, some loose wispy ringlet–this is your chance to get your wedding hairstyle vision right. It isn’t cheap to do, but it will put your mind at ease and which is priceless.

Accoutrements.

Don’t forget that an incredible variety of hair accessories are available to you, ranging from pearl barrettes and hair combs to flowers and tiaras. That needs to be integrated into your choice of accessories as well, if you’re wearing a veil. This is a great opportunity to do so, if you’ve always wanted to wear a tiara. It is possible to go OTT (Over-the-top and back again!) if you want to, because this is your special day.
Pay attention to all of the minor details for your wedding. And don’t forget having the right guy to marry might be helpful too!

I would suggest getting her wedding book called, "I Do:Achieving Your Dream Wedding". It is filled with images of her own wedding including images of her hair style. I own the book and honestly say the images are going to be bigger and better quality than those you can find online. But, if you don't want to buy the book, go for it online. I posted a link to the site on amazon.

if you know you can do it yourself, why pay an arm and a leg for it?
just make sure you practice making your own 'do yourself at least once and have someone take pics of you so you can see if you did it well enough and if you like it

i was a bridesmaid just this Saturday and the salon was going to charge me at least $40, i bumped into a friend and she asked her sister if she could do my hair. when i went to her house, her sister-in-law was also there and she offered to do my makeup, i offered to pay them the $40 i was going to spend at the salon anyway but the only ended up accepting $10 each. so for $20 bucks i got my hair and makeup done, and it all looked great too! if i had gone to the salon, and had the same hair-do done, it definately would have been waaay more than $40… + make up…

if i knew how to do my own hair, i would have done it, but unfortunately, i'm barely acquainted with mr. hairbrush and ms. scrunchie

so, if you can, save your $ and do it yourself, besides, no1 knows better what you want and how you want it than yourself

I also have long curly hair and want it to be down for my wedding (August). I am going to have it pulled half back, with some bangs smoothed out and swept to the side in the front. It may sound silly, but my inspiration for this hairstyle is from Giselle in Enchanted, during the park scene… I just thought it was pretty and flattering and would make a nice wedding hairstyle. I'm also wearing a veil.

Good luck to you, and embrace those curls! :)

She could get a blow-out which is a straightening treatment which can last for a few days. Also keep your eyes peeled for updos where the curls look too curly to be done with a curling iron. Odds those girls have naturally curly or wavy hair so the same style can be done for your friend. We bought those cheesy magazines for my best friend's wedding, the ones with a million heads in them and we all found something between those and the bridal magazines she had already.
