Your Hair do When You Say ‘I Do’ (Tips on Choosing Wedding Hairstyles)

A bride has a lot of things in mind and it is hard to single out hairstyle and decide what it should be while isolating all the other elements of the wedding. As the author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey said, begin with the end in mind. On your wedding day, what do you want to look like? Envision what your theme would be like, what your gown would look and the accessories you would want to wear. By the time you think about your hairstyle, most of the details should have been ironed out already, particularly the date and time you are getting married and of course the place. These are all relevant factors to consider if you want to be comfortable, consistent and most importantly happy. A smile is still the best accessory and well, all women know it is hard to smile if your hair looks blah.

Consider the place where you will get married, is it windy? Is it too hot? At the end of the day, you want to look glamorous, you do not want your hair to be too frizzy because it was too windy or humid and you do not want to be sweating like a marathon athlete too. The climate of the place you want to get married in will also clue in your stylist on what type of hair products to use to keep you looking radiant and elegant on your special day.

Consider your accessories because if you want to showcase a tiara then you have to adjust your hairstyle to that tiara your mom saved up for you all these years. If you want to wear chunky diamond earrings then you might want to wear your hair up. There are so many hair blings to choose from these days but before opting for these, make sure you consider your other accessories because you also do not want you accessories to steal the limelight from you.

Consider your wedding theme if you have one, your hair can very well complement your theme and dress. If you want a 60’s theme then you might want to research on that era and borrow the hairstyles of the Hollywood icon of that time. If you are going for a beach wedding theme, you might want to stick to the theme and look more relaxed.

Consider your face shape and height. You want your hairstyle to suit your face shape because there are hairstyles that can exacerbate features people want to hide. If your face is oval , avoid heavy bangs because your features will be hidden by your hair. Slicked back hair or an up-do will look great on you. If you face is oblong or rectangular or square you can have wispy bangs, layered look in medium-length hair. Do not wear your hair too long as this will also make your face look longer. If you have a round face avoid chin-length hair because this will make your face fuller. Trying an off center hairstyle will help reduce the wideness of the face.

Most importantly, consider your personality. On your wedding day, you want your husband to see that he is marrying the girl he fell in love with and not some other girl who had a transformation overnight. You want to be you when you walk down the aisle, it is just that you want to be the glammed up you. There are different wedding hairstyles to consider, sultry, boho, dramatic, goddess, glamour, beach and the list goes on.

Finally, choose the hairstyle you will be most confident and comfortable in, it is after all one of the happiest and most important days of your life.
