A bad hair day on your wedding day is simply not an option, so seek professional help. You may be lucky enough to have a hairstylist who you trust completely, who knows your hair better than anyone else and can create your dream do on your wedding day. If you don't, well, you'll simply need do some research.
Ask other brides whose hairstyles you've admired, who their wedding day hairstylist was. You should also check with your bridal salon if they have a hairstylist who can create great wedding day hair. Once you've garnered a list of wedding day hairstylists, it's time to set up consultations: the only way to determine if a hairstylist is right for you. Skip this step and your wedding day look may be more hair-raising than head-turning.
Come Prepared
When you're meeting with a stylist for the first time, keep in mind that since he or she doesn't know your personal tastes, you'll need to show as well as tell. The best way is to gather photos from magazines that feature hairstyles you like. You can even bring pictures of yourself that show the way you want your locks to look, or photos from a friend's wedding -- anything that will give him a hint about what kind of style you're seeking.
