subject: The Perfect Hair For The Bride [print this page] The bride "MUST" look immaculate on her wedding day and please note the emphasis; this no-compromise rule and applies to everything about the bride from the crown of her head to the tips of her toes, from her veil, to her gown and her shoes everything must be spotless.
The one point that should receive particular attention is the bride's hair because like it's said, a woman hair is her crowning glory; the bride's hair has to be carefully done for the big day. The wedding day is not a day for hair catastrophe, therefore, the bride has to be extra careful when choosing her bridal hair style; the hair style she settles for should complement her outfit everything else she wears.
The bride's hairstyle should blend well with her wedding gown. A strapless number will not be set off to its full advantage with hair streaming down the bride's shoulders. Neither does a French twist match a dress with a medieval theme. The formality of the dress must also be taken into account. A sophisticated upswept do would look smashing for a formal wedding gown, but it would be overkill for a dress designed for a garden wedding or a beach wedding.
Consider the neckline too: are you better off with your flowing hair down or your hair up? Besides the gown, the veil and the accessories that the bride will wear should also be a matter of consideration for the bride when she chooses her hairstyle.
A bride can be flexible with her accessories, but one thing is for certain: her hairstyle must go appropriately with her veil and her accessories. The rule of thumb here is for the bride-to-be to do her hair in the way she wants it to be in during the wedding when trying out for accessories, just to see if they fit.
But what are styles, accessories and whatnot if the hair is not at its best condition? Brides and dull hair simply do not go together. A woman to be wed should ensure the shine of her hair months before the wedding, simply by starting a regimen of regular conditioning. She may experiment with hair conditioning products if she must, but she must do it weeks or months before, and not at the eve of her wedding. As mentioned above, a wedding day is not a day for bad hair or allergic reactions.
Below are a couple things the bride should keep in mind:
The bride is free to try out various hairstyles before choosing one for the big day. However, she has to settle on hair style prior to picking her headpiece and veil. Also, she should stick to her decision and not be swayed.
The bride should select a style that is easy to maintain, doesn't droop or gets blown out of place with the wind if she's having an outdoor wedding. Additionally, she should refrain from overdoing her hair extensions and accessories otherwise people may question her sanity and sense of style. The bride is always the center of attraction in a wedding and she has to do her best not to disappoint.
