First, like any other booking for the big day, do your research for the right hairstylist for you. Although you may love how your hair dresser colors your hair, they may not be an expert in bridal hairstyles. Come prepared with photos from Pinterest or magazines to show he or she to give them a sense of the idea you would like. After you find your stylist, you will want to reach out to your wedding party to see how many of them will want their hair professionally done. Most salons will have other stylists besides yours to help with your bridesmaids. Some of your wedding party may go on their own to get their hair done, but isn’t it more fun to get ready together?

Next, time how long it will take to achieve your chosen style and add 30 minutes. Wedding days always have hidden dilemmas, so plan ahead. Try a few different styles, and photograph them at different angles to see if you truly love the hairstyle on you. And lastly, discuss with the hair stylist if they will come to you or if you will go to the salon on the big day. If they are able to come to your location, also check to see if they are able to stay for touch ups throughout the day.

BRIDE TIP: One tip we LOVE is to wear white to your consultation to give you a better idea what you will look like on the big day.
