Hair and the Girl

Feather Elfwand

Plan a general timeline to help keep yourself organized when it comes to your bridal beauty. Make sure to include your skincare plan, any major hair changes you might want, tanning, waxing and trial runs of both hair and makeup.

Your bridal hair should match the feel of your wedding dress. Bring a picture of your dress (preferably while you are wearing it) to your stylist so they can get a really good idea of the feel of the dress and work with it so your wedding updo compliments it. If you gown is clean and modern, a classic french twist can look stunning. For the bride looking for something a little dressier, go for something reminiscent of the ‘60’s and Audrey Hepburn. This type of style does well with jewelled pins for adornment. The classic bride goes for a traditional upstyle with contour and drama. A tiara is perfect for this look. For something a bit more trendy, go for a red carpet look. Bring in pictures of your favourite celebrity hairstyle for an updo with a twist on the classical. The romantic bride has soft, flowing curls and you really need shoulder length or longer hair to pull this look off. If your heart is set on this look, you can also get hair extensions put in.

On the day of your wedding, schedule enough time for you and your bridesmaids to get your hair and makeup done, to dress and relax a bit before the actual event. Make sure to eat something and drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated.

    Another great way to test your hair, makeup and jewelry is with the latest in bridal fashion. It’s called the Bridal Mini, and it looks like the top half of a wedding gown. A bride wears it to ensure that perfect wedding day look, and also wears her bridal mini to the bachelorette party. It’s the only thing out there to help brides during her engagement year. It’s a must have when testing hair, makeup and jewelry. You can see it at http://www.bridalmini.com.
