When you think of your wedding day, you think of everything being beautiful and complete. But you won’t pull it off unless you pre-plan. Hair and makeup is one of the most important parts, along with the dress. When you look at dresses, keep in mind how your hair is going to be with that look. We tend to forget about the complete package. We shop and create in stages, but it all has to work together like a big puzzle. Talk to your hairdresser and explain each detail of what you are looking for. Here are some guidelines:
Lawrence’s 5 Tips
1. 1 to 2 Years’ Before: Get a clear picture of what you want. Supply your hairdresser and makeup artist with many magazine photos of the look you are trying to get. Create a hair and makeup folder, and bring them in each time you meet with your artists. You may need to grow your hair to get the look you want. You may even have to order hair extensions if you don’t have the appropriate length hair. Pre-book your appointment many months in advance if you want your hairdresser or makeup artist to do your personal affair. This way, you lock in your date so the professionals can arrange their own schedules.
2. 1 Month Before: Do many trials with your professionals. Remember that it may take many times to get the exact look you are looking for. Bring in pictures of your dress, hair accessories, veil, jewelry, or even flowers. This way your hairdresser has the complete package to work with. Take pictures of his/her creations and put the pictures in your hair folder to remember exactly what they did. Get a facial so your skin is ready for the event. Double check that you are on your artist’s calendars so there are no surprises on the day of the event.
3. The Week Before: Color your hair so you have no roots. Also, trim your hair, but DO NOT CUT A LOT OFF. Just get a dusting so your hair looks fresh. Get another facial, so skin is fresh and pliable for the makeup.
4. The Night Before: Does your hair need to be blown out so it is dry for your up do? Most people go to the salon with wet hair or dirty hair the day of. Don’t do this it costs you more time in the salon. Pre-drying it the night before cuts down on the time for you to get ready.
5. Day of the Event: Do not wear a pullover top if you go to the salon. Do not wash your hair unless told to do so. Bring all accessories that are needed for your hair. If hair flowers have been ordered, have them with you. Eat before makeup and DON’T DRINK any alcohol before your special occasion. Ask your hairdresser for extra hairpins, and bring a small bottle of hairspray to the event just in case.
This is your glorious day, so let’s make it memorable.
Please let me hear your questions.
