Consider hair and makeup details
Choosing the right wedding hair and makeup is one of the most exciting parts of your planning.
But don’t get carried away!
There are a few key things to remember.
Your husband-to-be loves you just the way you are so avoid any drastic cuts or colours in the weeks leading up to the day.
And let’s face it, your wedding day is not the day you want to have a bad hair day!
Do you want to have your hair up in an updo? Wear it down in soft waves? Maybe a half-up braided hairstyle? Wedding hair options are endless! Before you decide, there are a few factors to consider: 1. What’s your dress like? Your hair shouldn’t be competing with your dress. It should complement it. If your dress is simple, it’s safe to go with a more dramatic hairstyle.
If your dress is an extravagant ball gown full of sparkly details, maybe consider doing a more subtle yet elegant updo.
If your dress has a gorgeous open back design, then a side pony or braid would be ideal. 2. Think about the weather If the wedding takes place inside or during cooler climates, it’s safe to go for those gorgeous cascading curls or any other hairstyle of your choice.
But if you’re getting married in a hot, humid climate?
Definitely go for a more put-together hairstyle like an updo, where you won’t need to worry about the frizz and the hair sticking to your back.
You will thank yourself on your wedding day!
3. What’s your hair length and volume?
It’s easy to fall in love with a Pinterest hairstyle, only to find out that your hair isn’t nearly long or thick enough to pull it off.
In this case, consider only looking for hairstyles that can be done on shorter hair.
Otherwise, thankfully, you can wear hair extensions to achieve that perfect hairstyle of your dreams.
Once you’ve decided on a hairstyle that you like, it is time to consider your makeup.
Your wedding is usually the day on which you are most photographed in your whole life, and it goes without saying that every bride wants to look at her best.
Ensure your look has staying power from the start with a good foundation.
Your makeup has to last from the ceremony to the wedding breakfast and the until the party’s over.
Ensure any beauty treatments are done well in advance.
Nobody wants to be the bride who has redness on her skin left over from a last minute facial!
And finally, invest in some resilient mascara for those teary moments to ensure there’s no chance of eye makeup running at the altar.
Make sure you have a practise session for both hair and makeup before the big day.
