Your hair needs to communicate perfection to your guests. As well as the spotlight being on you on your big day, focus will also be on your wedding party – bridesmaids, maid of honour and other members of the party. The last thing you want is a hair disaster for yourself or your wedding party. Imagine looking at your photographs in years to come and pointing out how much you hated someone’s hairstyle. With careful planning and clear and concise communication you can avoid hair disasters.
Whilst planning your look for the big day, think about the look you want your wedding party to have. Discuss with your bridesmaids what you like and also listen to what they like. Many bridesmaids tend to choose their own hairstyles as long as they fit in and compliment your look. If you don’t like a choice of hairstyle then convey it to them to avoid any misunderstandings.
Communicate with each member of the immediate wedding party. Don’t tread on anyone’s toes as each bridesmaid probably has her own individual style dictated by hair length, colour and texture. Always make recommendations but do not demand they have it a certain way as this could cause unwanted tensions or resentments.
Look at the type of wedding you are planning. If it is a grand formal wedding then almost certainly the best choice is for matching hairstyles. Look at the fabrics of your dresses as well as the style as certain hair styles go better with certain dress styles. An elegant hairstyle looks fabulous with a fitted gown whilst structured curls look great with a long flowing dress.
Clear communication with input from all concerned will make it easier to decide on your choice of hairstyle on your big day.
