Tips For Beautiful Bridal Hair

Today I was lucky enough to do hair for this adorable bridal party. They were all so sweet and all the hairstyles worked out so well.  So today I thought I'd share a few tips on selecting the best formal hairstyle for your big day.
Tips for Beautiful Bridal Hair

1. Decide if the theme of your wedding is formal, or a bit more casual and keep that in mind for you hair.
2. Browse Pinterest, blogs, magazines, etc. for hairstyles you think might work for you.
3. Choose at least three of you favorite styles as a guide for your hairstylist. Remember, your hair will never look exactly like the girl's in the picture. Length, texture, and color can drastically change the overall style.
 4. See if your stylist can do a trial run with your hair trying out at least two different styles a few weeks before your wedding and take pictures for reference on your big day.
5. Layers in the hair often makes curls and other styles hold better. Hair that is very long is often the most difficult to work with. So if you are growing your hair out, don't let it get too long. Your stylist can suggest the best length for the look you are going for.
6. Highlights with obvious contrast in colors always show curls off better even if they are a just a couple shades lighter than your base color.
7. Be flexible and keep your mind open to suggestions from your hairstylist.
