Preparation before your wedding day
1. Once you have chosen your dress and bought or reserved it, make
sure you have a photo of the gown to keep with you when you have
your rehearsal trial with your stylist.
2. Make sure you have images of your bridesmaids dress's for the same reason
as in No’s 2 and 3.
3. Meet with your stylist as soon as possible to make sure the whole
look/theme you wish to achieve will work for you.
4. Make sure you discuss with your stylist which hair accessories will suit best
for everyone concerned and if a veil is required to
compliment the look.
5. Insist all your members of your wedding party have a trial, to reduce
any stress on the day
6. Eight to ten weeks before the wedding day, book an appointment for
you and your wedding party, have a full rehearsal trial with your stylist.
This helps everyone to become familiar with their hair design, to discuss any
changes which may have to be made, giving peace of mind to you
the bride, knowing all concerned will be happy on the wedding day
INFO on the Day
1. NEVER shampoo condition or straighten hair on the day of the
wedding. One to two days before is sufficient, this applies only to
those who are having their hair dressed and put up and NEVER
straighten the hair after the final hair wash.
2. Make sure on the morning of the wedding you, or any member of your
party having their hair put up or dressed, wears a button or zipped
through top, this is to ensure NO item of clothing has to be pulled over
the head once the hair has been created.
3. Your make-up is best to be applied before any hair styling.
Make-up can be touch up once the full look has been completed.
4. If you plan to have pre-ceremony photos make sure your stylist is aware,
you will need to allow time, and this is usually an extra thirty to forty
five minutes prior to being at the church or venue.
We would like to advise it is often best
to have a consultation or a hair trial before deciding your full
image and before purchasing your accessories (veil headdress and
jewellery). Many brides get swept into buying everything on impulse and often
end up wasting money by not using all the products purchased
Bridesmaid Up dos & Hairstyles
The style chosen by the bridesmaid and matron of
honour is almost as important as the hairstyle for the bride. Whether
you're having your hair styled with the bride, or you're putting it up
yourself, it's important that you create a look that will complement the bride
herself. If the bride has asked you to wear flowers in your hair or a simple
headdress, our stylists will help you choose the right cut and style to flatter
you. 2010 looks to be another big hairstyle year & for the younger member
of your party, partial braiding & smoother through to the back is
tipped.
Longer Styles
Whilst it's easier to style long hair, it's
important to choose a look that will match and blend with that of the
bride. For 2010, the big fashion tip is that curls and big hair are
IN! Fashion magazines are tipping the more set look, with tumbling, big
curls as the one that is going to be popular at weddings this year. Remember to
take into consideration when choosing your style if it will hold up to not just
the whole day but any adverse weather conditions if your wedding is to be
spend mostly outdoors Accessorise with hair jewels which compliment the whole
wedding party theme.
Up dos for Short Hair
An up do is a traditional and elegant style that'll
look great in the wedding photos. It's possible to create one, even with
short hair, if you speak to your stylist in good time and take advice. To
create an up do with short hair, follow this advice. If your hair is about 3
inches long, a very fashionable length right now, and then you should go for a
soft curled and twisted look. The look at a wedding must be very soft and
romantic to fit in with the whole mood. Accessorise with a quite diamante clip
or a flower. It would be a good idea to try this out a few weeks in advance
with the bride present, so that she can say if she likes it or not, and it is
also important to try it with the dress you will be wearing to check it
matches.
