Now Booking For 2013 Weddings

Answers to Brides common Questions…

Is it common to remove the veil after the ceremony? I think I want to keep it on for the reception.

Don’t rush to remove your veil. A veil is that one element that transforms you from a woman in a white dress into a Bride. There is no written rule that the veil has to come off, in fact most Brides prefer the photographs of them wearing the veil when choosing pictures for print.

Is it true I dont wash my hair before the wedding?

Dirty hair is the secret to a long-wearing updo. This gives hair some grip so your style will stay in place all night!

I had my makeup done before but it seemes like a lot of makeup, I dont wear alot of makeup on a day to day basis.

Do a trial run for your Makeup, even if you don’t hire a pro. Makeup for flash photography is different than daily makeup application. It may look too dark at first glance, but after wearing it for a while, and having a friend take some photos with a flash you can see how your best features stand out in a photograph.

I cant decide if I want my hair to be in an elaborate Updo, or more natural.

Don’t stray too far from the real you. Experiment with different hairstyles, but then choose the one you are most comfortable with, the one that is most you. You don’t want to look back at photos of your special day and wonder “who is that?”

What about touching up my lip color after the Ceremony, before pictures with me and my husband or after eating?

Make sure your touch-up kit has all the right colors. I like for my Brides to bring their favorite Lip Liner and Color. You don’t want to realize later on during your wedding that you don’t have the right color for touch ups.

I have never had my eyebrows waxed, do you suggest this before my wedding?

Get your brows groomed by a professional. It makes such a difference in photos to have perfect brows!

Hair “I Do’s” and “I Dont’s”

We’ve all had them — hair catastrophes. A bad cut. A disastrous color. And our reactions are always the same. We cry. We panic. We commiserate with our girlfriends at midnight. We buy bad hair day hats until the whole mess grows out. But your beauty timeline clock is ticking and there is no room for impulsive moves. Check out our list of dos and don’ts to get your hair into shape without risking a wedding day follicle fiasco.

I DOs

• Decide on a hairstyle before you choose your veil or headpiece.
• Play with a few styles before finalizing your look.
• Visit your hairstylist at least six months before the wedding to set up a hair care regimen.
• Touch up your existing hair color two weeks before the wedding.
• Prepare a hair emergency kit for reception touch ups.
• Think about whether your hairstyle will hold up at an outdoor wedding.
• Match your hairstyle to your gown in degree of formality.
• Consider extensions and hairpieces to add volume for special hairstyles.
• Plan special hairstyles for the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner.
• Get a final trim two weeks before the wedding.
• Wear a buttoned-down shirt to your wedding day hair session.
• Talk to your hairstylist to set a shampooing and conditioning schedule for the days before the wedding.
• Add a bit of glitter to your hair — just be sure to try it out in advance.
• Invest in a good haircut. You’ll need less styling if you have a good foundation.
• Decide if you will remove your veil after the ceremony. You’ll need to adjust your hairstyle accordingly.
• Have your hairdresser practice with your veil tiara.

I DON’Ts

• Make hairstyle changes within three months of the wedding.
• Dye your hair at home.
• Change your hair color within two months of the wedding.
• Let anyone talk you into the latest style unless you really love it.
• Choose a style that’s too structured — it will be impossible to maintain.
• Go overboard on tendrils. If the curls droop, you’ll be left with messy hair.
• Choose a large or overly ornate headpiece. You’re the star; not your tiara.
• Use unfamiliar hair products on the big day — you could be allergic to them.
• Wash your hair right before styling it — it may be too slippery to handle.
• Have your hair styled too early before the ceremony — it’s a long day.
• Use accessories that are too heavy for an updo.
• Overload your hair with product.

How To Make Your Hair Grow Longer And Faster

Hair Growing Tips

Long beautiful hair is not something you can have overnight. It needs proper hair care and healthy habits, followed dedicatedly over a long period of time.

Here are some tips to grow your hair longer, healthier and more beautiful.

• First, wash your hair regularly with a shampoo that is suitable for your type of hair. Shampooing your hair regularly will cleanse your hair and scalp and help maintain healthy hair. However, you have to keep in mind that shampooing your hair too frequently is not recommended as it can affect the natural moisture level of your hair. Two or three shampoo washes per week should be sufficient. Also, while washing your hair you should always use cold water. Using cold water helps to close the hair cuticles, thereby retaining moisture in the hair.

 

• Another equally important practice is to use a good conditioner after every hair wash. Conditioner is especially important for long hair because the moisturizing oils produced in the scalp do not reach easily the ends of the hairs. Long hair, therefore, tends to become dry easily, and then becomes weak and brittle. The best way to apply conditioner is to take generous amount of conditioner and work it thoroughly you’re your hair right after a wash. This way, the moisture that is already absorbed can be trapped in the hair more effectively.

 

• Apply a mixture of coconut oil and almond on your hair and scalp at regular intervals. A massage of these oils will help strengthen the hair roots and aid growth of hair.

 

• Take care of your diet so that you have enough protein in your meals. Protein is essential for the health and growth of hair. Besides protein, your food should also contain essential oils, vitamins (B, C, and E), and minerals (zinc, sulfur, and magnesium).

 

• Trim your hair at regular intervals so that the split ends of the hairs are eliminated. Split ends, if not trimmed, can damage the whole hair.

 

• Take adequate steps to protect your hair from becoming weak and entangled. There are many ways you may be unknowingly harming your hairs. One of the common harmful methods is the way hair is dried. Do not rub a towel with force on your hair. Instead, you should gently blot the extra water from your hair with a dry towel, and then let your hair dry naturally. Doing so will ensure that the hair does not get entangled, knotted, or broken. Use of a blow dryer should also be avoided as far as possible because regular use of it can damage your hair. Another common way to harm your hair is by following an improper method of combing. Do not comb your hair when wet, and never force the comb through a knot – knots should be loosened with your fingers.
