Bridal Hair Wedding Hair Inspiration & Ideas
The morning of your wedding is a magical and unforgettable experience. The air is fragrant with fresh coffee and sweet pastries, and you’re surrounded by the people you love most.
It can be easy to let the excitement of the day get ahead of you. To avoid any surprises or last-minute snags, book your bridal hair and makeup trials well in advance!
Bring Your Dress
Whether you’re getting married at an exotic destination or in a registry office, there’s one thing all brides agree on: they want to look their best. And choosing a wedding hair style is probably the most important decision you will make on your big day. That’s why booking a trial is crucial to ensure your stylist can create the picture-perfect look you’ve dreamed of.
Do your research ahead of time, and bring in photos of the styles you like so your stylist can get a feel for your vision. It’s also a good idea to bring your veil, or any other hair accessories you plan on wearing, as this will help your stylist ensure that your look is cohesive.
Once you’ve locked down your date, schedule your trials with your vendors as soon as possible. This will ensure that you’re able to work with the professionals you really love, and you’ll have plenty of time to make any adjustments before your special day.
Bring Your Veil
If you plan on wearing a veil make sure to bring it to your hair trial. It will help your stylist see how a style you’ve been envisioning will look with it. A veil can be a big statement piece that adds to your overall bridal look. It can come in a variety of lengths and shapes. Veils also pair beautifully with delicate hair pins or combs, crowns and fascinators.
When transporting your veil make sure to keep it on a hanger in a garment bag to prevent catching, snagging or tearing. Upon arrival at your destination hang it free of wrapping until you need to wear it for photos or the ceremony.
Be sure to take some photos of your veil and dress together and ask your photographer about getting shots of the back detail or embellishments on your veil like lace edges, beading or embroidery. Then when it’s time for your walk down the aisle have one of your bridesmaids hold it up for you.
Bring Your Hair Accessories
Unless you’re wanting the simplest of blowouts, you will probably want to wear your veil, headpiece or other hair accessories on your wedding day.
You should bring these items to your hair trial so that the stylist can work around them. This way, you will have a better idea of whether your desired look is realistic for the time frame you’ll be in on your wedding day and that it will play well with your entire bridal aesthetic.
It’s also a good idea to bring any photos of hair styles you have saved on your Pinterest board or in magazines, as these can help the stylist understand what you’re looking for. You should also have an idea of how long you’d like to be in the chair, especially if your hair trial will include a bridesmaid or other members of your wedding party.
Having this information ahead of time will ensure that everyone stays on schedule, especially if they are getting multiple services from the same stylist.
Bring Your Makeup Routine
If you plan on wearing a veil or hair accessories it’s helpful to bring them to your hair trial so your stylist can try them out and make sure they will be in place for the big day. It’s also a good idea to avoid getting a major haircut in between your wedding trial and the day of the wedding.
If your bridesmaids are coming to the salon for their hair and makeup, make sure they have a clear vision of what they want and bring photos with them. It will save a lot of time on the wedding day if everyone is on the same page and knows exactly what they’re going to get.
Remember, it’s your wedding day and there are millions of things that can come up on the day of that you may not have anticipated. So go ahead and do what makes you feel most beautiful!
Bring a Robe
If your bridesmaids are staying near the place you will be getting ready on your wedding day, have them pack a pretty robe to wear while they wait for their hair appointment.
This way they can avoid having their clothing get messed up while they change and it makes for a cute photo. You can even have your glam team bring their own robes if you prefer.
To make sure your wedding hairstyle is exactly how you want it to be, search Pinterest and magazines for photos of styles you like. Take some time to find pictures that will match the formality and style of your dress, veil, and hair accessories for a cohesive look.
Bringing these items to your hair trial will ensure you’re getting the perfect style for your special day! Plus, it will help you feel more confident about your beauty on the day
