Wedding Day Hair Styles

As your wedding day approaches, there are many things to consider as you prepare for the big day. You have flowers, music, location, clothing and many more to consider. One of the biggest things to prepare for is your wedding day hair style.

Along with your dress, this may be the most important decision you make in regards to your wedding day. It is one of the items that many will wait to see, to comment on, or to judge. Think of it as your own personal red carpet moment. This is one aspect of your wedding you really need to plan in advance, depending on many aspects.

One of the decisions you will have to decide on is whether or not your hair style will be done separately from your wedding party, will you all match or will you all be going with a wedding theme, where the hair design will be based upon.

In the event you and your party are going with a similar hair theme, you will need to consider those in your wedding party. Is their current hair length going to allow for a design that will work or not, or will you have to be a bit creative. You may have to consider a short haired bridesmaid in a long haired theme the possibility of hair extensions. Another issue to consider is whether a bridesmaid is coming from out of town and will she get there in time to have her done properly to match the rest of the wedding party.

As you and your party are planning out the hair style, you need to take into consideration other aspects. The dresses, the veil, the different types of accessories all may play a part in your hair styles. For those obsessed with their hair, you may want to go with a hair design before picking out a dress or accessories. You will also want to consider the type of dress you have chosen. What kind of neckline does it have or how far down the back is your back exposed.

In general, the more the gown flows, the recommendation is to go with a longer hair design and for the high collared dress, and you may want to consider a hair design that is up. Are you still not sure? You can always go with a traditional style. For example, your hair is pinned up, with some tight curls trickling around the neck line, giving you a very glamorous look regardless if your wedding is formal or informal.

No matter your hair style, there is always something that can be done to give you that right look. In most cases it’s the accessories. You can add accessories such as pins, barrettes, a chignon, wraps, lace, ribbon or other fabrics to really bring out the best in your hair design, your dress and your face. There are so many things you can add to give your hair that extra flare on your special day.

Other things to consider are the things that you do that are not seen by the viewing public. Depending on the size of the curls you want will decide on the size of the curlers and the length of time you have them in your hair prior to the final product. You may want to consult a hair designer for information such as this when planning out your hair design.

If you decide to go with a different look than your bridesmaids, be sure to decide if you want them to match each other or if you will leave it up to them individually, as long as they do not outshine you. So no matter what you decide, be sure to consult your party and have this planned out well in advance so that everyone is on the same page and there are no surprises right before the start of the wedding, when it’s too late to change.

All in all, have fun with it. Look through the magazines, photo albums or consult your photographer to look at some of the weddings they have shot for hair designs that may interest you. Out of all the aspects of planning a wedding, your hair design is the one area you can have the most creativity and most fun. So play with it and enjoy your own personal makeover for your special day.
