With approximately 73% of all weddings taking place between the months of May to October, it is safe to say that wedding season is upon us. This year, along with the usual wedding rush, many couples who were forced to postpone their meticulously planned weddings due to Covid-19 will also take that all important walk down the aisle. Whether your big day has been drastically altered in light of the pandemic or you were set to be a 2021 bride from the start, settling on a bridal hairstyle is one of the finishing touches that every bride looks forward to. Despite this, the process can be intimidating, so how do you choose the perfect bridal hairstyle?
Consider Your Venue
First thing’s first: the venue is crucial. While you will have endless possibilities for an indoor wedding, an outdoor venue may play a large role in deciding on your bridal hairstyle. This is because factors like wind, heat and humidity should be taken into consideration to ensure flawless hair on your big day. If you’ll be heading to the beach, for instance, keep in mind that it may be hard to keep a meticulous updo in place with ocean-fueled gusts at play.
Visualize Your Dress
To create a coordinated bridal look, you’ll want to keep the biggest showstopper in mind: your dress. The general consensus is that your hairstyle should aim to complement your gown but not compete with it. For example, an updo with a strapless dress may leave some feeling too exposed, while an intricate high-neckline may be hidden by long flowing locks. By the same token, a large ball gown may pair better with a simpler style while a more basic style may leave you craving an intricate flower-adorned look. If you are unsure of which look pairs best, try experimenting with basic up, down or half-up, half-down looks during your next fitting.
Stay True to Your Personal Style
While your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, it doesn’t mean that you have to travel outside of your comfort level. If you usually wear simple styles or keep your hair down, it is perfectly fine to stick with the look you love to ensure that you are comfortable. Keep in mind that accessories, like veils and tiaras, can quickly transform an average look to extraordinary as well as a hair treatment in South Florida prior to the big day.
Schedule a Hair Trial
Before committing to one style, many brides opt to try out a few different ones in the months leading up to the wedding. This involves booking an appointment with your hair stylist in South Florida and doing a test run of the style (or styles) you are considering before the big day arrives. Many brides also wear their wedding makeup and accessories (such as a veil) to ensure that they get a full feel for the look. It can also provide some insight on how well the style will hold up throughout the day and allow you to make any changes needed accordingly-- before your wedding day.
