Hair! What subject has produced more fears, tears and rituals, than that of the almighty coiffeur? Any bad hair day is cause enough for us to shutter 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. Below are some helpful tips to set you in the right direction.
One of the most prominent and noticed details to the overall look of a bride is her hair and the accessories she selects to adorn her hairstyle. Here are some flattering, fun and elegant ideas for that special day.
You are a hair bride if you are thinking more about your hairstyle than your veil and headpiece. Many times the hair bride skips the veil all together! Schedule a trial run to discuss ideas for your hair.
Possibly the sole wedding issue that has more brides flabbergasted than what to do with their divorced parents is, surprisingly, gloves. We get countless inquiries about these troublesome fripperies.
First, let's deal with the etiquette of these confusing little accessories.
First off, abandon any cutesy ideas you might have about a passionate lip-lock involving tongues. I've seen this done, and while it looked like loads of fun, it left the couple's grandparents mortified and the groom looking distinctly clownish (slap a red rubber nose on that man!) A lingering, close-lipped kiss is about as daring as one can get without risking several kinds of embarrassment. Be demure!
A few decades ago, before about 1970, second weddings were never properly even remotely formal, unless the bride was a very young widow. Since a veil is only worn with a formal dress, the veil issue just didn't arise. In the late 1960s or early 1970s, the notion that second-time brides could wear formal dresses in ivory, but without a veil, briefly arose (and stuck in a remarkable number of people's minds).
In my opinion, veils are one of the most over-priced items in the wedding industry! You can buy a communion veil for under $50 in most cases, but when you attach the word "wedding" to a veil, they can cost you between $100 and $500. The difference between the two is size, which means that a little more fabric is needed and a few more decorations.
