What are you going to do with your hair?

Once the dress has been chosen and we start the task of picking out a veil or a head piece the question that daunts most brides is "How are you going to wear your hair?" I have a lot of brides who struggle with what to do with their hair. There are a few things to consider when choosing your hairstyle.

The style of your dress: Dresses with embellishments on the straps may be covered if you wear your hair down.

The Weather: Weddings that take place during the hottest time of the summer may not allow your hair to hold in a really loose soft curl. So you may want to consider something more simple and that will work with lots of hairspray. The last thing you want on your wedding day is flat, straight hair. Unless of course that's the look you're going for. The Groom: I know that our grooms don't usually have a lot of say in what goes on in the planning of a wedding but many of them love their fiancee's hair a certain way. So ask him, you might be surprised and he might say I love how you look most when your hair is down. Awww.

There are a few things you just don't want to do for example:

Don't over do it with the accessories

I love a single flower in the hair but again don't go overboard. A whole bouquet of flowers is not a good look.

And remember bigger is not always better

You want to look like yourself on your wedding day. Simple and classic is always a safe bet.
