Let’s face it, ladies: how you look on the outside reflects how you feel on your wedding day. We know all brides want the confidence that they are the most beautiful woman in the room—because you ARE. You have the dress. You know what you want the make up to look like. Now you’re faced with the hair dilemma. What should you do with it? Up? Down? Curly? Straight? Side bang? Side Part? Veil? Since there are so many options to do choose from, it can get difficult and confusing when you’re trying to decide what style works for you. Here are 3 things to keep into consideration when you’re figuring out what your perfect hairstyle is:
1. Your face shape. Many people think that every hairstyle works well with every face shape. This is NOT the case. Specific hairstyles will compliment your bone structure, depending on your shape, but all cases are different. For a great website to determine what shape you are and what works best for you, click here.
2. Your hair type. Just like face shape, the type of hair you have affects what hairstyles will work with you. By now, you should know what type of hair you have. Is it thick or thin? Does it work well with heat or fall flat in humidity? Is it short or long? Decide on a hairstyle that works with your natural hair—you want it to last effortlessly. Also, make sure you are being realistic when deciding on a hairstyle, and realize that you have the whole day ahead of you. So, if you know your hair doesn’t hold curls well for more than an hour, you shouldn’t expect your hair to be in perfect tendrils 8 hours after the reception.
3. Your wedding dress style. It’s always a wise idea to decide how you want to wear your hair after you have chosen your wedding dress. A lot of time and emotion goes into selecting the perfect dress and you don’t want your hair to take away from it. So remember: different necklines suit different hairstyles. For example, a high neckline or halter should be complimented with an updo to show it off; a strapless or low neckline should be complimented with a hairstyle that’s down or half up, half down. Also the look of the dress, for example traditional, trendy, glamorous, etc. will also influence which style is the most suitable.
Remember that these are just suggestions to keep in mind—every case is different and there are certain times that coloring outside the lines still looks fabulous! You know what looks good, so go with your instinct. It’s your wedding day, so make sure YOU feel beautiful!
