One thing that is pretty simple for me is hair. Not much thought will go into the hair planning process for me on my wedding day. I have been doing my hair this way for the past ten years so I am not too worried. Laura on the other hand is a different story. For the past year she has been cutting out hairstyle pictures and sending them to her stylist, Amber, at Evolve Salon. I will have to blog on what happened the day Laura thought I tossed out her wedding hair folder - yikes, that was a long night.
Well, I figured I would check in with Amber and get her thoughts on wedding hairstyles, and some basic wedding hair do's and dont's.
Do you see any new trends coming up in wedding hair fashions?
The new trends in wedding hair fashions are from the 1930's - 1940's era. Very elegant and classy with beautiful soft waves or curls. Many new brides are wearing their hair down and curly. By doing this, some choose to wear a small jeweled headband or tiara instead of the traditional veil.
Do you recommend that a bride try something new for her wedding? Or should she stick to what style she is use to?
I wouldn't recommend that a bride try something new as far as hair color goes. It will be a huge shock. I do recommend that the bride sticks with what she is used to. You can do that by having a simple classic style, even if it is an up do.
How far in advance should a bride do a "test run" of her wedding day hair?
I would recommend a test run 3 to 4 weeks before the wedding. This gives you the opportunity to make the hair absolutely perfect. If you don't like something you have time to work with your stylist on something new.
Laura told me she is getting hair extensions to add fullness…is it a hard process?
Adding hair extensions is not a hard process at all. It is very fast and easy. The greatest part about it is that the extensions are non damaging to your hair. If you chooses to wear your hair down, the added fullness from the extensions is amazing. You can add extensions for fullness or length. I have several pictures on my website for people to check out if they are interested.
As far as guys hair, do you recommend they get it cut the day before or give it a few days to grow in?
Guys should get their hair cut one week before the wedding. That way it will look perfect for the big day. The night before the wedding have your bride clean up your neck with a quick shave.
