Wedding Day Hair Accessories Should Not Be Overlooked

You’ve got your dress, shoes and that special “something blue” all squared away. Now the biggest puzzle of all: What kind of topper to wear—and what the heck to do with your hair?

Just like a good pair of shoes, the right hair piece can change your entire look! With a hair accessory, you can have the most freedom and almost any hair style will be complimented and look unique and truly your own.

I personally love working with Fresh Flowers, Embellished Headbands, Jewel Hair Clips, and Tiaras.

Hair accessories will look gorgeous in photos. Some can be a bit over-the-top, and there is definitely a tasteful way to wear these pieces.
Institute a “no bad prom hair” with your wedding-day hairstylist. Not all hairstylists are comfortable with Wedding Hair. It is an Art, and it can make or break your entire look on your big day. Go with someone who specializes in this area. Do some research, ask around for referrals.

Bring all your Hair Accessories with you to your Trail Run, so your Hairstylist has the opportunity to work with it before your Wedding Day. Not all hair pieces are the same, and are not a “One Size Fits All”. Have a couple of options, if it’s in your budget.

Go to your Trial Run with an open mind. If you are going to someone who specializes in Wedding Day Hair Design, bring some ideas with you, but leave some room for your Stylist to be creative and take your ideas along with her ideas to create your own personal Wedding Day Style.

Beachy Wedding Hair Styles

I just finished with the gorgeous Bride Miss Tiffany, and her Bridal Party! What a sweet group of girls.

It is music to my ears when I hear my Brides/Bridesmaids say “I Trust You” do what you think looks best.

Here Is Why:

1. 9 times out of 10, the picture of the hairstyle she has picked out is not similar at all to her own hair.

2. The photos usually handed to me only show what she wants the back of her hair to look like. Who is looking at the back of your head? Why are you spending so much time dwelling on the back of your head? We need to make sure you look great from the front, where your smiling faces are going to be in your family albums forever and ever.

3. Length. When I am handed a photo of this big beautiful full updo, from a Bride who has shoulder length, thin hair…. That’s when I have to wave my comb in front of her and say “This here is a comb. Not a Magic Wand”

4. Texture. When looking for hairstyles, keep in mind the texture has a lot to do with the outcome as well if you are wanting your hairstylist to duplicate from a photo. If you have frizzy, curly, long hair…. don’t show your stylist a photo of a style that is short, straight and sleek. If your hair is thin and straight as a board… don’t pick out a style that obviously requires a lot of hair to achieve the look.

5. Color. Hair with Highlights, looks completely different in an updo than hair with no highlights. That color dimension makes a huge difference.

My styles above in this photo, each one of the girls sat down in my chair and let me work my magic. No photos to show me. I asked them, up or down and where they part their bangs. From there I created them each their own unique style that worked with their hair and facial features.

So I would say give your Stylist some room to be creative, she may come up with something amazing that you never knew your hair would do 🙂
