Wedding Day Hair Styles - A Top Ten Checklist


by Mike Jones

The big day is fast approaching, and the energy of the moment sweeps you up. But does it carry your hair along too? Use the following checklist to ensure your wedding day hair is everything you dream it will be:

1. Which stylist? Make bookings for consultations with more than one stylist well in advance and decide on the one you feel most comfortable with. You should be able to express your likes and dislikes without feeling awkward.

2. Long hair, shoulder length, or short hair? It is important to consult with your stylist well in advance and make a decision. Long hair obviously gives the stylist much freedom for creativity but a skilled stylist can also work well with medium and short styles. Be sure to choose a length that fits with your personality and style.

3. Have your hair compliment your wedding dress. This can be done by both style and accessories. Smooth, straight hair and pinned up curls are often paired up with smooth satin gowns, whereas a tulle dress often goes well with soft curls.

4. Take into consideration your silhouette. If it's along horizontal lines such as with a wide dress, you'll want to stick with that look for your hair as well. The same goes for a vertical profile.

5. You'll be spending a lot of time at the salon picking out the perfect hairstyle, so it's best to be prepared. Be sure to wash your hair the night before your consultation, and try to have some pictures of styles you'd like to try out.

6. Take a picture of your wedding dress along to your stylist. This will greatly help the process along. Also take your veil with you, and let the stylist know what kind of wedding you are having: formal, informal, evening, daytime. Alternatively, consult with your stylist before deciding on your headpiece.

7. If you are interested in a new cut or color to your hair, don't wait until right before your wedding. Make the changes during the initial consultation with the stylist, so that you don't have any unpleasant surprises down the road.

8. After you have decided on your style, make sure you walk around with it. Your wedding day will be a long one and you certainly don't want an uncomfortable hair do causing irritation!

9. Your veil length will have some influence on your choice of hairstyle. Normally, the veil is longer than the hair. It is often secured in back swept hair (for up dos) and it's important to make sure the style can hold the veil in place.

10. What accessories are you going to wear? You will already (hopefully!) have your headpiece picked out. Flowers, pins, and beads can be used to add an extra sparkle to your hair, and you can and should coordinate them with the rest of your jewelry.

It may sound like choosing a bridal hair style is a strenuous activity, but the care and preparation is simply to make sure your wedding day is the best it can be.

Following this ten point checklist will ensure your wedding day hair style is a delight, not a disaster!

Bridal Hairstyle Part 3



by Jhong Ren


As a groom that time, I felt that the make-up of my wife is very important. In addition, the wedding gowns she chose, the shoes she was wearing, her bridal hairstyle, her hair accessory were important factors to how both of us look on the aisle during march in.

It is not to say because I wanted to look good and that is why she had to look good.

It should be the other way: Because my wife looked pretty, that is why I looked smart.

As a groom, I felt that we had to play our part in not just being physically there, but also assuring and giving opinions how our brides looked in different make-up and hairstyle.

Emotionally supporting your wife is very important too.

Alot of times, just mere mentioning that "You do look pretty in this" or "You looked better in that" makes the bridal experience more pleasant.

I remembered I had an email from a bride who asked for my opinion if she should forgo the gown her family members disallowed her to wear. However, it was the same gown her husband chose and that was why she was caught in between.

As much as she wanted to go along with her family's decision, she also wanted to wear something her husband had personally chose for her.

I applauded her for the effort in respecting her husband's choice and it was not a simple choice to be made.

During such times, what you can do is to not feel caught in between is: 1. Thank your husband for even being there during the gown selection. 2. Expalin to her your situation, tell him how you are feeling and you may feel caught in between. 3. Tell him you really would like to wear what he chose. 4. As a couple, explain to the family about the two choices of the gowns. 5. Inform your family that you AND your husband will need to discuss at home and will inform them again of your decision.

Do you realise that the decision is always made in pair? This is the difference. In pair, you are stronger and it is a start to build a strong foundation in your relationship.

To end of this post, I had found more pictures for you on bridal hairstyle.

Wedding Hairstyles: What Looks Best On You




by Wade Robins


There are so many details to consider as you plan your special wedding day. Your wedding dress is one of the most important aspects of your day. It is important to remember that a great wedding dress can be a disaster, if you do not have the proper accessories and hairstyle. You want to look your best on this very special day and you need to find a wedding hairstyle that will suit your facial features and your wedding dress at the same time.

One of the best ways to get ideas about wedding hairstyles is to look through current bridal magazines. These bridal magazines can show you the latest trends in wedding hairstyles and can show you how certain wedding hairstyles look with certain wedding gowns. While one hairstyle may look perfect on a model in the magazine, it may not be right for you. Cut out some pictures of hairstyles that you like, and as you begin to choose your wedding dress, keep this in mind.

Many popular wedding hairstyles are very suitable for your wedding. One of the most popular hairstyles for brides is an up-sweep, or also called an up-do. This type of hairstyle can be a French twist, elaborate braids, a bun or even a low ponytail. Hairstylists often specialize in wedding hairstyles, so if you are looking for a beautiful out due to wear on your wedding day; consult a hairstylist that can help you make your dreams become a reality.

Many brides choose to wear their hair down. If you have short hair, then you may want to consider light curls or wave. Brides with long hair, often looks stunning with flowing curls. If you choose to wear your hair down, you might want to consider pulling part of it back off your face, and using an elaborate hair clip at the back of your head.

However, you decide to wear your hair . You will want to keep the style of your dress in mind. Also, think about the type of headpiece that you will wear on your wedding day. If you are going to wear a long veil or a crown of flowers, then wearing your hair down might be the way to go. Tiaras look fabulous on hair that is pulled back. You might also want to think about the type of jewelry do you wear. If you wear your hair up, you may want to consider getting a more elaborate earring to draw attention to your face. Longer hair that is worn down needs simple earrings and accessories.

Here is something else to think about when choosing wedding hairstyles. It is never a good idea to try out a new haircut right before you get married. This can be disastrous if you hate your new haircut. The same is true for getting your hair colored. This is not the time to try out a completely new hair color. Wait until after you return from your honeymoon to try any new styles.

Wedding Hair & Make-Up Tips



by Rafi Michael


Preparing yourself to look beautiful on your Toronto wedding day doesn't start a few hours before the ceremony. There are several things you can do in advance to help yourself look and feel beautiful on your wedding day:

- Join a gym, or start walking to get some exercise

- Start drinking at least eight glasses of water per day to flush toxins out of your system. Also, water helps you feel full, so you may be inclined to eat less!

- Get a facial every five weeks from now until your Toronto wedding. Skin exfoliation provided by good facials, removes dead skin cells from your face and makes your skin glow.

- Start getting regular manicures and pedicures to help to keep your hands, feet and nails in good condition.

- Book a hairstylist and makeup artist for your wedding day. Be sure to do this a couple of months in advance and go in for a trial run a couple of weeks before the wedding

- Have your haircut and colored two to three weeks before the wedding to avoid the new cut and color look.

The Toronto Wedding Day: Professional or Do-It-Yourself?

If you choose to have a professional do your hair and makeup to look beautiful, this can be a great way to relax and get pampered on your Toronto wedding day. Many professional makeup artists can make your face both camera-ready and natural-looking.

If you choose to have your hair and makeup done at a salon, don't forget to schedule trial appointments at least a week before your wedding. You will want to bring your veil to the trial appointment.

If you want to do your own hair and makeup, here are some general tips:

- Use a foundation close to your natural skin color

- Apply loose powder to your face and neck.

- Line your eyes with a brown pencil.

- Avoid frosted eyeliner or eye shadow. Matte shadows work best in photos.

- Curl your eyelashes and apply brown or black mascara.

- Apply a flattering blush to your cheekbones and blend upwards.

- Line your lips with a pencil and apply lipstick. Five little tricks

- For smooth lips use a toothbrush to exfoliate your lips and remove dry skin.

- To make lipstick last, line lips with a pencil and apply lipstick, then blot with a tissue. Leave the tissue on your lips and with a loose powder puff; press the puff on top of the tissue. Remove the tissue and reapply your lipstick.

- If your eyes are red, eye drops can work, but can be a bit messy. Instead, use a white pencil near the inside of your lower eyelid.

- Buy new mascara. Mascara should be thrown out every three months. What better occasion for a new tube than your wedding day?

- To make blush last the whole day, use a cream blush instead of powder. If you have oily skin, keep that loose powder close by. Cream blush can make you a bit shinier than normal, but it does last longer!

There are a lot of ways to make yourself look beautiful for your Toronto wedding day, so enjoy the moment, because most important stress is a beauty buster!

Deciding How To Wear Your Hair And Make Up For Formal Events Is Important But The Wedding Hair Style Is The Most Important One Of All


by Sharon Price

Wedding hair styles have seen a considerable change as the fashions through the years change and deciding how to wear your hair and make up for a formal event such as a wedding is a very important decision to make. Today's styles are much softer and more natural than the rigid styles of years ago being much more free, natural as well as much easier to attain than even those that were fashionable a few years ago. The wedding hair style and how you wear your hair and make up for formal events requires doing some research as well as practicing before the big day or night to make sure you get it right.

There will sure to be hundreds of eyes on the bride on her big day and so the wedding hair will need to be perfect to make the bride feel at her best. How you decide to wear your hair and make up at other formal events is not quite so important as you will not necessarily want photographs to remind you of the big day. This is reason enough to choose a perfect as well as formal hairstyle much before the actual wedding day so as to allow the hairstylist to get it right as well as be able to make any changes that are required before the wedding day.

Style books can give you ideas of how to wear your hair and make up at formal events and are a good starting point to select the perfect wedding hair style. Before selecting a particular hair style, make sure that it also compliments the wedding dress in terms of style, era as well as cut of the dress. The bride should also consider how the rest of the wedding party are going to wear their hair and make up, whether long or short, curly or straight. Decisions such as this go a long way to helping making the day perfect.

Co-coordinating the wedding hair styles or how you wear your hair and make up at formal events with those of the wedding party or other guests does not mean having to choose exactly the same styles but the look should compliment each member's personality, hair texture as well as facial structure.

The wedding hair style and how you wear your hair and make up at other important formal events is certainly the most important part of the entire outfit and is often the first thing that others notice. The hardest part may be finding the ideal wedding hair style, and brides-to-be are often lost and unsure about which style is the best for them. However, magazines such Wedding Magazine as well as tons of others that can be found on the shelves of local bookstores will help. Deciding how to wear your hair and your make up at formal events including a wedding trying to match accessories and colors is a great idea. However, the wedding hair style of the bride can be apart, and can and should be more intricate than those of the other members of the wedding party as it is the brides day and she does not want to be out done by one of the bridesmaids does she?
