Finding the Right Hairstyle For Your Bridesmaids

Wedding hairstyles for bridesmaids can be a touchy issue. You may want your bridal party to wear their hair up, but you will probably get some comments from one who hates to wear her hair up, and another who has hair that is too short.

The best way to handle this is to be open-minded to the suggestions of a hairstylist. By bringing this objective professional into the mix, your bridesmaids will receive a hairstyle that matches their look and personality.

What a Stylist Will Consider

A good hairstylist will take into account the following about each bridesmaid when choosing a hairstyle for her:

· Her face shape - Face shape plays an important role in choosing a hairstyle because it gives the stylist a starting point. For instance, if your bridesmaid has a very high forehead, the stylist may create softness with a side swept part.

· Her dress - Necklines dictate a lot about hairstyles. Certain necklines such as spaghetti straps and halters call for a style that that shows off the great details of the dress.

· Her height - A bridesmaid's height should be considered when choosing a hairstyle. What looks good on a very petite person does not look the same on a tall bridesmaid. The stylist should take this into account.

· Her hair type - A good stylist should be able to create a cohesive style for your bridesmaids despite hair type, but she or he will take this into account when styling. Very curly hair or very straight hair don't always hold the styles of wavy hair, so be flexible and open to suggestion.

· Hair accessories - If your bridesmaids are wearing hair accessories, the stylist will incorporate them into the final style. Accessories can really dress up a simple hairstyle.

- Use crystal-studded bobby pins to accent a short style.

- Use pearl covered combs to dress up soft curls.

- A sparkly headband can really make long flowing locks look pulled together.

- Hold up a casual bun or twist with girly butterfly hair pins.

- Use hair jewels to accent any hairstyle.

- Embellished ponytail holders can make a simple ponytail look very elegant.

- For an extra-dressy look, have your bridesmaids wear crystal tiaras.

What to Take to the Consultation with Your Stylist

Choosing bridesmaid hairstyles can be a really fun way to bond with your friends. Listen to your bridesmaids about what they think will look good. Take this into account when you consult with your stylist.

Be sure to take the dresses or photos of the dresses to your stylist, so she or he will know what they are working with. Ask them questions about how the bridesmaids need to come dressed (button down shirt, tank top) and when they should wash their hair. This will make things move smoothly on your wedding day.

Most of all, have fun with your bridesmaids!
