Lets Take it from the Top! The Art of Wedding Hair
By Gretchen Maurer (ForeverWed Beauty & Hair Expert)
Hair
What subject has produced more fears, tears and rituals, bottles,
brushes, and headlines than that of the almighty coiffeur? Any bad
hair day is cause enough for us to shutter, stutter and utter "what
will I do with my hair"?
Add the wedding day do to this dilemma and there is coiffeur
confusion, mad rushes to the magazine rack and tears begging our
trusted stylist for help. Bridal hair specialist and author of The
Business of Bridal Beauty, as well as creator of www.weddinghair.com,
Gretchen Maurer has some excellent tips to offer. She is also a member
of the Association of Bridal Consultants.
1. Dress: Maurer says to start with the dress because, "the brides
total bridal look has to be taken into consideration, every thing must
balance. The brides dress choice sets the tone for the entire ceremony
and the hair design has to evoke the same feeling."
2. Texture: "Believe it or not the wedding gown can also dictate the
texture of the finished hair design. A smooth, shiny Updo of curls or
glossy stick straight hair complements a smooth satin gown. Where a
gown of sweeping tulle is beautifully accented by soft flowing curls."
3. The silhouette: "Your look from head to toe has a silhouette,
either horizontal or vertical. A full skirt is horizontal and best
balanced by a wider hair design and or full veiling. A vertical look
being narrow and slim is complemented by a hair design of the same
lines; it could be a bob tucked behind the ears or a narrow pile of
curls on top of the head."
4. History: "No, we are not back in school. But is there a period of
history your gown reflects? Theme weddings such as renaissance or
swing, make a great excuse to have some creative fun with your hair."
5. Proportions: "Again the full effect needs to balance. The bride
with short hair who is wearing an ornate full traditional dress needs
to remember to balance her look with the appropriate headpiece. Like
wise the petite bride with too much hair might think about wearing it
up to draw the eye vertically."
6. Time of Day: "Next to the dress, the time of day should have some
bearing on the hairstyle and headpiece you choose." Maurer suggests
for a day or morning wedding less glitz and sparkle. "Save the
crystals, sparkel and tiaras for more formal evening weddings.
Headbands, flowers, wreaths, and hats are perfect for day or morning
ceremonies. |
