How To Choose The Right Wedding Hair And Makeup For Your Big Day

By Helen Ward


If you are getting married you want to look and feel your best on your wedding day. A large part of that is what you will be wearing. You also need to think about what your wedding hair and makeup will look like as well. Here are some tips that you can use to ensure you get the look you want without spending an arm and a leg to do so.

Your dress will help to determine what your hair will look like. For example, a very formal gown will look best with a hairstyle that is formal as well. If you are wearing an unstructured gown that has a more flowing, relaxed look you may want to think about adopting a hairdo that is equally relaxed and unstructured. If you have a high neckline on your gown you may want to think about wearing your hair up as well.

In the past, most brides chose to wear a veil but this is changing. If you have a headpiece and veil that goes with your gown you need to be aware that your hair may need to be styled in a more specific way. It is a good idea to know what you will be wearing for a headpiece when you consult with your stylist before your big day has arrived. They may need to place pins or clips in different locations.

In Nashville, TN there are many salons and stylists that provide bridal packages. These often involve trial runs as well as more extensive wedding day services. You may want to find out if they have a cosmetics artist on staff as well. Other questions to ask include whether your bridal party can get their tresses done at the same location and whether the stylist is able to come to your home or the site where you are getting ready.

Makeup for your special day is usually somewhat different than it would be if you were attending any other event. Photography is often a huge part of any ceremony and reception and you will want to make sure that you look good on film. Therefore you may need to apply a heavier layer of makeup in order to make your skin look natural when the photographs are being taken.

One tip for brides is to avoid hairstyles and cosmetics that are very trendy. While many of them can be fun styles tend to change frequently. If you have a very trendy look you may end up thinking your pictures look dated even after a short period of time has passed.

A trial run can be a fun way to see how your hairstyle and cosmetics will look. Many brides turn this into a fun day with members of their bridal party. To get the best results, bring your headpiece, pictures of your gown and pictures of styles that you particularly like.

By making decisions about who will do your hair and makeup early you will have the best choice of stylists. Many will book up well in advance especially during the summer months when weddings are much more frequent. Then when your big day arrives you will know that your hair and your face are in the hands of skilled experts who will give you the look you want.

  1. This is an incredibly beautiful space to have a wedding reception. The wedding venues Los Angeles had long hall with a few side rooms (perfect for dancing and hor d'oeuvres). The windows at the end of the hall led to magnificently gorgeous panoramic views of the city.
