Day #24 - Wedding Day Do

When selecting the hair style you want to showcase on your wedding day, there are 3 things you need to consider.

1.  Seek out inspiration.  Choose the color, style and length at least 6-9 months before the wedding.  Meet with your stylist or ask your wedding planner and/or friends for recommendations.  Also consider if you will be wearing a veil or head piece to accessorize your wedding gown.

2.  Allow your stylist to prepare your hair weeks before the wedding with a trim and deep conditioning treatment.  Also, schedule your trial a couple months in advance.  Make sure to bring your jewelry and any hair accessories to that appointment.

3.  Make sure to ask your stylist what he/she will need onsite for wedding day if they are coming to you.  Also, make sure to be prepared for hair mishaps by packing a small emergency kit to include hair spray, bobby pins, comb and brush.

Until next time...WEDologize!

Wedding Veil Alternatives

I went on a wedding gown search with my newest September client this past weekend.  My gorgeous bride looked amazing in pretty much everything she tried on...but not a single veil completed the look due to the style of gown she liked.  So that got me to thinking, what are come alternatives for "hair ornaments" when a wedding veil just won't due.  Take a look:

Bird cage veil w/ side bun

Ornate head band w/ up-do

Silk flower w/ cascading braid

Orchids w/ chignon bun

Jeweled barrette w/ side swept hair

Until next time...WEDologize!
