Hair

This spring and summer it is all about texture, texture, texture!  The best part about texture is that anything goes.  Brides’ can achieve texture multiple ways, but the two favorite ways to achieve texture is with braids or curls.  Both are simple to incorporate and can be as bold or reserved as each Bride’s personality.

Hair pieces and feathers are still very popular and the options for designs are endless.  Birdcages are so-so and most brides will agree that veils are out.

Another popular wedding hair trend is a sleek or clean front with a messy back.  This trend remains fairly popular year after year.

Tips:

• Do you want your hair up, down, or half-and-half?  Talk to your hair stylist about your wedding plans and determine what is going to hold best; not only at the beginning of your ceremony, but through the reception as well.
• Before you book your wedding stylist, make sure they are willing to do at least one, preferably two, pre-runs.  You want to ensure that your stylist is creating the look you want, that your style iscomfortable, and most importantly that you love it.

Make-Up

We love make-up and the number of looks you can create with colors, techniques, and a little bit of time are endless.  This spring and summer, champagnes / golds and pinks are going to remain very popular. Other trends that are rising in popularity are the cat eye and pops of boldness. when sporting bright red lips and smokey eyes… never have both, you do not want your lips and eyes competing. The Cat Eye is returning in great popularity by stars like Adele, television shows such as Mad Men, and the overall reminiscence of the 1960s.

Tips:

• What feature do you want to focus on?  Talk to your make-up artist about what feature you love, your personal style, and your wedding so they can present you with several options.
• Will your make-up artist do a pre-run?  You do not want to find out on your wedding day that they cat eye is not right for you… or even worse…to find out after you receive your pictures.

Remember, even though trends are great, you want to create a look that will stand the test of time and not create a dated look.

We wish you the best of luck in planning your big day!
