Your wedding day is approaching and you want to look your best. You fully intend to have a beautiful hairstyle to rock your look, but will you succeed? 

One of the biggest mistakes brides make is waiting until the week of the wedding to think about their hair and makeup. This has led to more beauty disasters than you want to think about. 

During your wedding preparations, your hair, skin, and body are put to the stress. You are always in a rush. You eat on the go, you do not get enough sleep, and you have added anxiety due to the planning of the wedding. 

The results are dry and overworked hair, dull skin and eyes, and fatigue. While these factors may be unavoidable, they are not unpreventable. Look for ways to improve your look now. 

Getting started 

Begin early and get yourself on a regimen that will keep you looking your best before the wedding. Start 6-months before the big day, with a trip to the dermatologist. 

Explain what is coming up and ask for advice on how to keep your hair and skin in great condition. You will be given a routine to follow and probably vitamin supplements (Vitamin B). The next appointment you will make is to the beautician you want to use. 

If the money for the extra visits is a problem, add them to your Plumfund account and maybe someone will pay for it as their wedding gift to you. Make sure to use your money smartly at all phases of the preparation for the big day!

For the next few months, have your hair deep conditioned and trimmed regularly. If you are wearing color, address the issue in advance. Do not wait until your wedding week to color your hair. By the time your wedding day arrives, you will look flawless.

Note: Never decide to use your wedding for a whole new look. This is not the time to try going from long hair to a bob or coloring your hair purple.

Wedding hair piece trends 

The trend for hairpieces in 2019 include:

  • Oversized flower halos
  • Bridal cape attached to the head or around the shoulders with no veil
  • Pearls and crystals scattered in the hair
  • Smaller veils trimmed in lace

Now that you know the look, let’s look at some of the popular hairstyles being worn.

Short hairstyles for the wedding

  • Twisted Bob-style with flowers

Work with your stylist on leaving the top long enough to twist the sides of the hair and hold them in place with a pretty flower clip in the back.A tulle veil can cascade over the clip for added beauty. This romantic yet effortless style pairs perfectly with a flowing gown and minimalistic accessories, ensuring all eyes are on you. For a cohesive look, consider soft, natural makeup to complement the hairstyle—an essential in many DIY elopement beauty tips. Remember, less is often more when capturing the ethereal vibe of an intimate celebration.

  • Short Bob-Style with a statement piece

The bride who wants to show off her hair may opt for a beautiful statement piece or hair jewelry. This is perfect for the bride wearing the bridal cape.

Medium and longer lengths

It is all about flower halos this year. The trend is very big blooms of fully opened buds with lots of greenery. However, if you have thin hair, you may want to go with the small-flowered halo. 

  • Loose cascading curls with a flower crown – try a French braid around the flower crown
  • Half up – Half down with no veil or with a gathered veil at the top portion of the hair
  • Dutch braids
  • Flowers in the hair but not a flower crown. Add a few flowers to the side or back of the hair to get the trendy look without the fuss and weight of the flower crown.

Tips: 

  • Drink lots of water
  • Stay away from greasy foods that will zap your looks
  • Try to stay on a routine and include a little daily exercise. 
  • Practice relaxation techniques while trying to sleep, but avoid sleeping pills.
