Bride and bridesmaids should have clean/dry hair on the wedding morning. 

I recommend the following on the night before:

• Shampoo twice,

• Conditioner once,

• Let it dry naturally (only blow dry if the your hair is extremely curly and volumous.)

• Plan extra time for hair and makeup.

• Send references to the hairstylist of how you want the bridesmaids hair to look. Do that ahead of time.

• If you're staying at a Airbnb or hotel, have only close friends/family at your Bridal Party. Too many people becomes loud and messy, making it hard for you to relax.

• Have relaxing music playing on the background.

• Have a plate of fruit, cheese and some champagne to enjoy with your bridesmaids.

• Enjoy the day as much as you can, it goes so fast.

When choosing a picture to show your hairstylist keep in mind:

• Your hair color:

Choose a picture with your hair color. Foils and highlights add texture to an updo, that doesn't happen in a brunette for example.

• Your hair length/texture:

Having short, brittle or fine hair will directly impact the hairstyle, even if we use padding and good products + techniques. Talking to your hairstylist prior to the event and showing a picture of your hair + a Inspo picture is the best way to align expectations.

It might be worth considering extensions on your wedding day if volume is important to you.

• Hair down:

Does your hair normally hold curls?

Sometimes good products can do the trick, sometimes is just not enough and an updo would be welcome.

• Extensions:

If you choose to have extensions on your wedding, communicate your hairstylist. Is better to apply the extension in advance so you have time to match the color and have a haircut if necessary. It's also an opportunity to get used to it and see if it suits you.

• Do you usually wear your hair up or down? 

• Does your hair usually hold curls? 

• Do you feel more comfortable with middle or side parting? 

• Do you feel awkward with your ears or forehead exposed?
