Hey all! If you’ve been following along since An Interview With My Go-To Hair Guru, you probably remember my sister. Jordan and the rest of the team over at Skyline Downtown Salon are gearing up for wedding season and I can’t wait to see the looks they create. Without further ado, Jordan’s here with some tips and tricks for planning your style for the big day. So you’re engaged to be married, congrats! And I mean it. One of the most exciting and special parts of my job is being a part of a bride’s big day. At this point you may be stuck between trying to plan for peonies on a baby’s breath budget and fighting tooth and nail for your dream venue during the thick of the wedding season madness. Don’t let your wedding day ‘do add to a long list of stressors. Choosing a style should be a fun, flexible experience that your knowledgeable stylist is ready to walk you through. Below are some keys to remember when deciding on a style for when you say “I do.”
Work with your stylist to find a look suitable for your personal style and face shape. For example, leaving hair around face that extends below the chin can elongate an a already long face, so opting for a style that features a shorter swept bang can soften long angular shapes. If your cheekbones or dimples are defining features, sweeping hair off your face to showcase some of your best attributes may be a great option for you.
Your stylist can discuss with you ways to distribute volume and texture throughout different areas of the style to flatter your face and create a lasting style for all of the day’s festivities.
Choose a style that is composed of classic lines, and timeless texture and color. While an updo with maxed out volume, a focal braid, or ombre colored hair hanging in loose waves may be beautiful, trendy styles may date your wedding day photos ten years down the line. If you love a current trend, talk to your stylist about how to incorporate or alter the style to create a timeless look. Perhaps a subtly woven braided texture throughout your bun will be more suitable than placing a braid front and center through your bangs. If you’re uncertain of how to describe the looks and styles that appeal to you, gather photos and reference eras that you love (Keep in mind that hair color will play a factor in how a style looks. Dimensional blondes for instance often embody a look of texture and multi tonal shine when put up in a bun, a brunette wearing the same style may look more sleek and smooth. When looking at photos, try to check out styles in your color range).
Be open to adjusting what you have in mind for your bridal hairstyle. As a stylist I know that customizing a bride’s style to work with her dress, the weather, her face shape, daily style, and more is not only important but invaluable. Talk to your stylist about things you love, hate, and would be open to during your trial run (about a month before the big day). You’ll be sure to land a look that you love almost as much as your beau.
