Before planning your hair trial, there are some things every bride should consider for her wedding day look. The most asked question…”are you wearing it up or down?” This is actually an important question. Here are 5 factors to think about that might help determine your wedding day hair style.
1.) Venue. Is your wedding indoors or outside? Is it by the water? Do you have far to travel? Hairstyles are really put to the test when immersed in the natural elements. Heat, humidity, wind, etc are all things to think about when choosing a wedding day hairstyle. Also, consider the overall theme of your venue. Is it an elegant ballroom, a whimsical garden, or a romantic beach wedding? Your hairstyle, along with your dress and accessories, should mirror your overall theme and feel of the wedding.
2.) Time of year. Depending on where your wedding is located can determine the type of weather to expect. Is the area prone to harsh winters or even more brutal summers? Again, heat and humidity can do a number on hairstyles. So if you know you’re getting hitched in July on a Southern Maryland beach at 2 pm, chances are it may be hot and steamy.
3.) Your everyday hairstyle. Do you want to look like “you” on your wedding day or are you going for a more dramatic look. If your go-to daily hairstyle is a ponytail, keep this in mind. If you want to feel like your normal comfortable self at your wedding, an updo may be a more comfortable option on your day. If drama is what you’re going for, wow your guests with luscious waves spilling down your back.
4.) Your hair type. The texture of your hair can be a definite deterrent or determination for your hairstyle. Is your hair fine or thin and won’t hold a curl? An updo might be a better option. Once it’s up, you don’t have to worry about your hair. If you have some natural wave to your hair, feel free to rock some curly length on your big day.
5.) Your reception plans. If you’re the life of the party and plan to be belting out Whitney Houston on the dance floor all night, please consider your hair. Dancing and sweating can really take a toll on certain hairstyles. If you choose an all up hairstyle, it may last longer than an all down hairstyle when put to the dancing test. Trust me, I’m not suggesting being a wall flower at your own wedding but if all up is a must for you AND you plan to be a dancing queen, be prepared for your curls to loosen and get a bridesmaid to pack a few bobby pins in case you need to get your locks out of your way.
Think of these things if you’re stumped on what to do for your wedding day hairstyle or even if you’re trying to decide between two styles. If you’re concerned or have any questions about your hair, please ask your hairstylist at your trial. The trial is put in place to alleviate any anxiousness about your wedding day look, so you feel confident about your day. One less thing to stress about!
