Bridesmaid Hairstyles – Tips for Choosing and Coordinating
Coordinating your wedding is not easy to do. There are dozens of elements that need to be designed to reflect your weddings’ theme, and your bridesmaid hairstyles make up several of those design elements that you need to coordinate. Fortunately most women enjoy trying new hairstyles and they will be more than willing to go that extra hair mile for your special day.
Decide an overall hair theme
The first step for coordinating your bridesmaid hairstyles is to decide on an overall hair theme for your wedding. To do this you will need to examine the theme of your wedding and get an idea of what hairstyles typically are associated with that type of wedding. For example if you are planning a formal wedding then you will most like focus on up-dos. However, if you are planning a Renaissance themed wedding then you will want to look at hairstyles and headdresses from that period.
Hairstyles that complement
The second step is to meet with your bridesmaids to figure out what types of hairstyles are going to compliment each bridesmaid. Because you want your wedding party to look as good as possible, and as uniform as possible you will need to work with your bridesmaids to try out several hairstyles to find a selection of styles that will compliment all of your bridesmaids. You may need to work with a professional hairstylist to vary one hairstyle to flatter each of your bridesmaids.
Experimenting with different hairstyles
Before you select a single hairstyle you should experiment with several hairstyles. Your first option is to create a variety of hairstyles on each bridesmaid. This can be an expensive option if you are using the services of a professional hairstylist, however, if you need a less expensive way to try new hairstyles you can use hairstyling software. This type of software will allow you to scan in a photograph of your bridesmaid and then change their hairstyle digitally. This is a fun way to try out a lot of hairstyles in a short period of time, without damaging the bridesmaid’s hair. It can also be a great party game.
Coordinating Hair Color
In addition to selecting a hairstyle for your bridesmaid you may want to consider coordinating their hair color as well. Having your bridesmaids’ hair colored to match or to reflect your wedding’s theme can be a great way to really step up the look of your wedding party, and it can also be a great bridesmaid gift.
Ask the Bridesmaids
Your final step is to ask your bridesmaids what they think. Their input is important. If they are not happy with how they look then they will not be projecting the confidence that you want your wedding party to have. Incorporate their opinions into the hairstyle designs that you decide on, and make sure that you don’t let differences of opinion ruin your relationship with your bridesmaid or your wedding party.
