Help! I can't decide on a hairstyle...
Ok, so choosing a hairstyle for your wedding day isn't exactly rocket science, so why is it soooooo difficult? You want to look like you just stepped out of a magazine, and yet you want to look and feel like YOU: and need a little bit of help. Well you have come to the right place....

Ideas
Start by taking a look at my hair gallery for some ideas, then start collecting some pictures from magazines and off the internet. Be realistic - is your hair straight / thick / long enough for the style you like? Select several photos to show the stylist at your trial and ask her to try each of them out. Be open to new ideas and any advice she gives you. Have an idea of what your bridesmaids may like, for themselves, as well.

Upordown?
Try to choose a style that will suit your face shape - round faces suit high "updo's" and sleek long styles while long faces suit styles that have width and volume. Would you be comfortable with all your hair pulled away from your face?

Consider having some hair up and some down, which is very popular, or leaving  wispy strands around your face to soften. If you have a low-cut or off-the-shoulder dress will you feel comfortable with a little flesh exposed? if you want comfort opt for a polished version of the style you are used to.

Curlyorstraight?
Once you have decided to wear you hair up or down, the possibilities are endless. Curls are soft and romantic, as are ,french  twists, braids and variations to the bun. Or perhaps you prefer more contemporary spikes and twists. Try to reflect your personality in your bridal hairdo.

These should compliment your hairstyle but not hide it. If you have chosen a large floor-length veil, your hairstyle needs to be
sturdy enough to hold it's shape until you take the veil off. Some veils look better sat at the back of the head under a mass of
curls or a bun. As a rule, the hair shouldn't be worn longer than the veil.

These are always popular as they add extra sparkle and colour and can tie in with your colour scheme and jewellery. Pins and
hair-grips with sparkling gems in the ends have a stunning effect, whilst small flowers can be scattered amongst curls or wired
to a comb to flatter a french pleat. (Try 'Claire's Accessories' and Ardenes.'). Holly can accessorize with rinestones using
eyelash glue-easy to remove, silk white flowers and white satin leaves- at an
extra cost of only $5.
Pre-WeddingTrial
Always have a trial well in advance of your wedding, this aid peace of mind. I usually visit my brides at least 6 months before their wedding day.  Your hair may need to grow longer for your desired style, so you can always have another trial nearer to your wedding day.


Weddinghairchecklist

1. Have a trial run with your stylist as soon as your wedding date is set. If possible, take along a photo of your dress, and any headpiece or hair accessories.

2. Find out if you need to grow your hair length, improve the condition with conditioning treatments, change the colour or have some highlights.

3.Colour/highlight hair ONE week before your wedding date. Trim 3 weeks before.

4. NEVER shampoo hair or conditioning treatments on the wedding day. Shampoo the day before!

5. On the day of the wedding make sure the bridal party wear button or zip-up clothes. No crew neck jumpers! This will ensure you don not mess up your style...

6. Now just relax.....
