Wedding Hair Tips
October and November are especially popular because Florida's heat is no longer an issue. During the peak of the fall season, many spas and salons find themselves working longer hours so the bride and her wedding party can look their best with beautiful hairstyles for a beach wedding.
What could go wrong on such a day? Clouds could form, and rain could come. There could be a hurricane forecast to blast into this lovely serene setting, after all, it's happened before. Or the very worst thing that could ever happen to a bride would be to have the wrong hairstyle. We are going to discuss this in-depth.
With fall comes the turning of leaves, and fortunately, not everyone wants to get married on the beach. The majority of couples still desire a grand church wedding. You hear a crackle when you step on a fallen branch as you look up into your love's face. Being surrounded by the painting of fall colors, romance warms your heart and sets the stage for your wedding. This is the season when nature says "good night" for a while and takes a much-needed rest. Oh yes, this is the season you will get married in!
The selection of colors for the bride's wedding party should reflect her personality and desires, not her mother's or aunt's. Just because she is getting married in the fall doesn't mean she can't have her party dressed in lilac, violet, or red if those are her favorite colors. I have personally seen lilac, violet, and red leaves in the fall!
Although your hairstyle really depends on your preferences and personality, one important tip to consider when walking down the beach or aisle is to remember where you are. For example, if you're on the beach or in a gazebo outside, you don't want an updo that is so heavily sprayed that the breeze won't move a tendril. Wearing your hair up for an outdoor wedding can be great if it's done right.
A simple sophisticated twist with a few tendrils can go a long way. A formal air can be brought to a beach or gazebo environment if the veil is worn on top of the twist. When the veil is worn just below the top of the twist or curls, there will be unification with the informal outdoor environment. Loose curls lying upon more loose curls are another option when seeking a romantic look. There are so many options. Your beau is in love with who you are, and you want to reflect exactly that.
What type of "do" do you want?
Let's think about your personality first. Are you the old-fashioned type who would like to wear your mother's off-white wedding gown and prefers flowing gowns, ruffles, or lace? If you have long hair, would you like to wear it loosely around your shoulders? Perhaps half up and half down might be right for you. This is the best of both worlds. Wearing your hair up would bring the formality of a church wedding, yet having it partially down would bring a whimsical look. Wearing your veil over your face would bring the coveted moment of yesterday to your event.
Perhaps you are a more modern thinker and would like a strapless satin dress with no ruffles, lace, or long train. Something simple and to the point, yet still very formal. If you have long hair, you would probably want to wear it up smoothly, but not too boldly, with very few tendrils. One thing to keep in mind for this occasion is to allow a little softness to frame your face.
If your hair is short, get a new cut about two weeks before your wedding, so it has time to settle into the new style. You will also have some new growth, which should be perfect for your day. The short cut you choose depends on how you envision yourself looking. Bring a picture to your stylist, and they will tell you whether the style suits you and is practical for your hair texture, figure, and face shape.
What about thin hair, waves, or tight curls? Should you wear hair ornaments, or would it be too much? Stay tuned; we will discuss these topics in the next article.
