A Bride's Crowning Glory







Every bride wants to look her absolute best on her wedding day. A hairstyle that complements her gown and best features will be her crowning glory and leave her feeling picture perfect!
From classic to trendy, the options are endless. So how do you know which style is right for you? Here are some tips for impressive wedding day tresses:

Brides with short hair: Keep is sexy and feminine. Add a bit of lift and volume if it complements your gown. Keep it loose and free, not too fixed, because you'll feel more comfortable. Lighten and spice up your hair with some color or highlights which will also add shine and volume to your hair.

Brides with long hair: There are a variety of choices. Wear it sleek, tight and in a bun or go for volume and movement for a sexy, fresh look. Wear it half up, half down. If you have long hair show it off, don't hide behind your veil too much.

There are a variety of wedding hair accessories to choose from. For a touch of sparkle, an accent comb or crystal/pearl hairpins or hair twists add a nice touch, for a less formal look. A crown tiara, tiara comb or headband is classically elegant, or for a stylish alternative to a traditional tiara and veil, a feather fascinator with a birdcage veil, modern bridal hat or bridal ribbon headband with rhinestones is a great choice.

Don't overdo it with hair products and don't force your hairstyle to compete with your makeup. Both should seamlessly work together - one shouldn't dominate the other.

Don't leave it until the last minute to find a look you love. Visit your stylist at least one month before your wedding day for a trial run. The consultation is important so you can see what your hair will look like on your big day and there are no surprises at "showtime". Be sure to take along your veil, flowers and accessories to ensure your hair suits your style.

Birdcage Veils - The Hot Look This Season



Although the traditional veil and tiara are popular choices for today’s brides, brides are also getting more adventurous with their veils and opting for less traditional styles. For a classy, vintage look the birdcage-style veil is the hot style for this season. Made popular in the 1940s, by glamorous actresses, it’s now making a comeback. As seen among Hollywood celebrities, the birdcage veil was spotted on Katherine Heigl, during her wedding in 2007 and Drew Barrymore also wore one at the premiere of her new movie “Grey Gardens”.

The birdcage veil can be worn longer or shorter to suit your tastes. It is an easy to wear accessory that will compliment many styles of wedding gowns. The veil is usually worn with your hair tied up, but also suits shorter hairstyles. It's also becoming very popular for brides marrying for a second time, who feel the traditional long white veil is only suitable for their first wedding.

For a coordinating headpiece, consider a flower hair accent decorated with crystals, rhinestones, feather fascinators or even lace for the popular vintage look. Crystal and pearl hairpins and spiral pins are another option and work well with up-dos.
