Hair & Make Up

A bride’s hairstyle and make up are essential elements that complete the overall look for a bride. You wouldn’t want to land up in a situation where you have the most gorgeous wedding gown you could ever imagine, only finding it to be ruined by a messy hairdo or a cheesy make up. Rather, your hair and face complementing the beautiful attire and theme would help you in becoming a radiant bride, the testimony of which the wedding photographs will hold for years to come.

Wedding Hairstyles

Choosing the right hairdo for the big day can be a tricky task but with a little thought and help from a hair stylist, the right hairstyle can be picked.

Here are some pointers to consider when deciding your wedding hairstyle:

• Match Your Hairstyle With the Wedding Gown and Wedding Theme

Your hairstyle should match the style of your wedding gown; for a traditional princess-like gown, a stylish and elaborated hairdo will look good, while a more contemporary gown would work well with a simpler understated hairstyle in form of a bun or a slicked back ponytail.

Complementing the hairstyle with details of the dress will help it to blend in with the overall look and not let it stand apart from the dress. Coordinate the hairdo with the neckline and the wedding jewelery to obtain a uniform look.

• Consider How Long the Wedding Ceremony Will Last

You would require your hairdo to look fresh right from the time you walk down the aisle to your first dance. Do discuss with your hair stylist about your hair type and what style would keep your hair looking great all day.

• Accessorize To Enhance Your Hairstyle

A veil can be worn at the crown if the hair is let open or attached under an up do. The veil length can also be adjusted according to the length of hair. Corsages worn at the side of a chignon or bun makes the hairdo look even more fashionable.

• Book the Hairstylist in Advance

Booking months in advance will allow you to get the one of your choice and let you decide on the final look through trials.

Wedding Makeup

Bridal make up is the all important accessory for the face, and with you being the central focus for the camera that day, it is important to have the aspect of make up all sorted out in advance.

Coordinate your make up depending on the wedding gown, the venue of wedding, and the lighting at the ceremony and reception. Choosing colors that suit your complexion, applying waterproof products that last through the day, following a grooming regimen in advance, and keeping stress at bay are some ways to look gorgeous on the special day.
If you are planning to do your own make up, have as many trial runs to get the right look and estimate the time required for it. If opting for a professional make up artist, be sure to book well in advance and discuss with him/her in detail regarding the look you wish to wear.

Once all the planning is done, it is time to relax; on the special day, it will be your smile and glow that will ultimately shine through. Enjoy yourself!
