Elegant and Beautiful Wedding Hair Style from London's Expert Hairdressers

by Zoltan Vargyai

'Wedding day 'a memorable day for everyone. And who doesn't want to look perfect on his or her important day of life. Of course everyone wants to be looking great from every aspect whether it's about wedding dress, or jewelry. Even wedding hair style also adds the charm to bride or grooms personality.
So what to do for a perfect wedding hair style that will really suit you. Well! Many factors are important to decide the right wedding hair style for you. First of all the shape of your face determines the right hair style for you. If you are confused about what hairstyle will suit you for your wedding day then you should talk to a professional hair stylist. Your hair stylist can give you suggestion about the hair style that will most suit shape of your face. And this should be done a few weeks ahead of the time.

Having the wedding dress can also help you to make wedding hair style selection easily. If the bridal gown is of an off shoulder then you should consider your hair down. If the bridal gown has a high neck then wears the hair up.

One should also make arrangements with the hairdresser to have a practice run for her wedding hair style. It will work definitely. Bear in mind that what suits others may not suit you also. Above all the thing that matters is your wedding hair style has to be comfortable. And remember one more thing that it's you who are going to be getting married and not a fairytale image of yours so it should not be so different.

The theme of your wedding party also impact what wedding hair style you will want to select from. A princess hair style or a queen hair style can be choosen for a bridal. A bridal can also choose the more unconventional wedding hair style.

The princess hair style is one of the most flattering hairstyle which a young bride could choose for her wedding day. In this wedding hair style the hairs require to be pulled back from the face. This look has been preferred choice by the bridals for several years. This hairstyle works for the bride with long hair or medium hair.

The queen hair style is much similar like the princess hairstyle with the exception that this wedding hair style is more complicated and it may include side bangs to soften the severe look of aristocracy also. Middle paths or side paths can be used in the hair which could either be loosely or tightly pulled back.

Make Sure The Rest Of You Matches Your Wedding Dress

by Karen de Villiers

When you get married you want the day to be perfect - and that includes yourself! You would want to have the perfect wedding dress, as well as ideal hair, skin, makeup, shoes, accessories and more.
In order to make sure that everything turns out as perfect, or then as close to perfect as is possible in this less than perfect world of ours, you need to make sure that you start preparing for a couple of weeks, if not months, in advance to make sure that your skin, hair and nails are in top conditions when you reach your wedding day.

Unfortunately skin, hair and nails take time to get into perfect condition, so don't think that you can just slap on some moisturizer the day before and have a glowing skin! You might want to see a beautician or professional make-up artist a couple of weeks before to get some advice on how to treat your skin in order to have it in peak condition. An extra word of warning is that it is not wise to start experimenting with new skin care products close to the wedding - you never know when you might have an allergic reaction to new products. If you do want to try out that extra-special (extra-expensive!) skin care product, please do so on advice from a professional as well as a couple of weeks or months in advance!

With regards to make-up, the same thing applies. By all means make use of a professional make-up artist - after all, they know all the tricks in the trade to make the most of your face and look, however, make sure that you go for at least one trial session a couple of weeks in advance to make sure that your skin does not have an allergic reaction to the products that the beautician might use. Apart from that you need to check that your makeup works with the rest of your outfit - your hairpiece and your dress. It is a good idea to have your makeup for that day a bit more striking and darker than usual - a bit like stage makeup. After all, you ARE the star of the day, not so?

If you are making use of a professional make-up artist, she will be able to advise you on this, but please, if you do try and do this yourself, rehearse before hand and get a couple of trusted opinions from family members. Also view yourself from a distance as well as close up in the mirror, so that you can check that while your makeup is a bit darker than usual, that you do not end up looking like Frankenstein!

Some other aspects to keep in mind to make you look your healthy best on your wedding day is that it is a good idea to get in some exercise before you get married. Once again, trying to fit this in, in the week before the wedding is an exercise in futility and will just add to your stress levels! Rather work out a gentle but regular exercise program for a couple of months before the wedding. This will help you de-stress as well as tone your body so that you really look and feel your best on that all important day!

Only two more items remaining that need attention - you will need a good manicure and pedicure before the wedding day to make sure that your hands and feet look and feel great. Make sure that you schedule the sessions for this well in advance so that you do not stress a day before the wedding to try and get a booking. Once again, try different nail colors to see which work the best with your wedding dress. Also, once again, do not, I repeat, DO NOT do your nails once you have already dressed in your wedding dress. Images of disaster with red splashes of nail polish on your perfect dress looms in the mind's eye.

Lastly, I also cannot stress how imperative it is to have one or two trial sessions before the wedding with your hair. Apart from your dress, your hair and hairpiece are the most visible aspects of what you look like and you absolutely need to practice to get this one right!

10 Modern Wedding Hair Accessories

By Erica Tevis

Whether you would like to create a modern wedding look or a romantic hairstyle, accessories for your hair can help you polish your bridal image. There are a variety of accessories on the market today to suit any bride's style or wedding theme. Here is a short list of popular wedding hair accessories to help you look beautiful on your special day.

Headbands - headbands are simple, yet elegant. Select a wide one for a retro look, or skinny ones for a modern, preppy look. These are perfect for the bride who wants to be comfortable while still being stylish. Pairs easily with your veil.

Feathers - feathers are a hot trend right now, these are perfect for the trendy "in style" bride. These can be purchase and added to combs, clips, barrettes or even woven through hair. Alternatively, there are many accessories with feathers pre-attached.

Veil - believe it or not, sometimes less is more, and a veil may be all you need. If you are opting out of hair accessories go elaborate with your veil - pearls, jewels and crystal accents will compliment your look.

Fresh Flowers - once a trend, now a tradition - adding a sprig of your favorite flower to your hair can give you a romantic, soft touch. Check with your florist though, to see which flowers will hold up without water.

Tiaras - these can range from classical princess styles to modern, asymmetric looks to retro inspired glam. Don't rule out a tiara just based on the name, there are so many styles one will suit your look.

Hair Vines - held in place by pins on each end, these are highly flexible and can conform to most any hairstyle. Many are encrusted with jewels, crystals or pearls.

Barrettes - these are not what you would think - a simple barrette can sweep back locks, hold bangs to the side or keep layers in place. Barrettes can be elaborate or simple depending on the look you are going for.

Hair Jewelry - whether you decide to decorate your hair with shells (for a beach bride) or crystals (for an upscale look) hair jewelry is placed either around your style (such as a bun) or strategically placed throughout your style.

Tropical Flowers - this works well for tropical inspired weddings or beach weddings - a pop of a vibrant color will look wonderful in your wedding photos.

Birdcage Pouf - for the bride who wants a veil, but doesn't want to be weighed down. Depending on how you style the rest of your hair, this could be a romantic vintage look or very edgy and unique. You can wear the poof over your face for the beginning of the reception, then style it into a "pouf" for the reception.
