It\u2019s supposed to be the happiest day of your life. As the bride, you\u2019ll be the centre of attention, and not only will your friends and family be present, but your photographs will capture the moment forever. On the big day, you want to look like yourself, only better. There\u2019s nothing worse than a bride wearing a gorgeous gown, in the perfect location, whose hair is so dreadful that guests can\u2019t keep their eyes off of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brides should always have a consultation with the stylist who will be doing their hair one to two months before the wedding date to ensure that their dream hairstyle fits in with their dream day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 10 common hair mistakes that brides make.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. You forget your veil or headpiece. The veil factors into your overall look, and its length and style may determine if you\u2019ll want to wear your hair up or down. If the veil hasn\u2019t arrived yet, ask the bridal salon to loan you a sample, or at least bring along a photo when consulting with your wedding hairdresser<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. You cut your hair days before the wedding.\u00a0Stay away from the scissors and don\u2019t plan on getting a haircut right before the big day. Instead, do it a month or two prior to the wedding to ensure that you like the cut and it will work with the hairstyle you\u2019ve chosen.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. You don\u2019t carefully choose your stylist.\u00a0You will remember your wedding day forever, so choose someone you trust to style your hair. If your hairdresser doesn\u2019t typically do wedding hairstyles, ask him or her for a recommendation, or speak with friends or other brides who have had hairstyles you\u2019ve admired.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. You experiment with hair colour.\u00a0Talk to your stylist about how you envision your hair on the big day, and let your colourist know if you are planning on wearing your hair up or down. It\u2019s also not advisable to dramatically change your hair colour before the wedding. You want to look like an enhanced version of you, not someone completely different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. You only try one style.\u00a0Just as you tried on several wedding dresses<\/a> (even if you knew the first one was the best), have your stylist show you at least three different looks based on your description of what you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. You go to your consultation without any ideas. Pictures speak louder than words. Gather photos of brides hairstyles<\/a> you like. This will give the stylist an idea of the kind of style you\u2019re seeking. The stylist can\u2019t make you look like the person in the picture, but he or she can attempt to copy the hair as long as the texture and length are not an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. You forget about touch-ups.\u00a0If it\u2019s in your budget, consider having the stylist stay after the ceremony and throughout the evening to do touch-ups to your hair\u2014or even give you a completely different look. If the expense is too high, ask the stylist for tips on how to touch up your own hair during the reception.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. You forget about the dress.\u00a0Your hair should always complement your gown. Select your gown first and then decide on the hairstyle with your stylist.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. You think short hair is your only option. If your cute bob doesn’t jive with your dream of having long locks on the big day, ask your stylist for extensions. This temporary fix can be a perfect solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. You forget about the groom.\u00a0Although you\u2019ll be the focus of the big day, you will want his hair to look just as good. Make sure the groom gets a good haircut a week before the wedding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
