If you ask a woman what one of the most important days of their life is or was you can pretty much guarantee you will hear wedding day mentioned a lot more than once. As one of the most important days in a woman's life, having a bad hair day just simply won't do.

The last thing that you need on your wedding day is for your chosen hairstyle to go completely wrong. We all know that no one can guarantee that your big day will go entirely smoothly but there are certain things that can be done to ensure that no matter what else happens your hair will look beautiful.

As with all the other details of your wedding day, your hairstyle will be chosen well in advance of the big day. You will want to look just right and your hairstyle has to be perfect, which is why when it comes to choosing your wedding hairstyle there are many options open to you. The first step that can be taken to achieve your perfect hair style is to look through bridal magazines for inspiration. There are plenty of these magazines on the market today; you will be spoilt for choice. As well as flicking through the latest bridal magazines you can use ...
... the Internet as a tool to fine websites that display an array of styles, all of which are suited to specific hair lengths, hair colour and face shape.

The one thing that you need to remain when it comes to choosing your perfect wedding hairstyle is realistic. The style that has caught your eye in a magazine may be the most glamorous or romantic style that you have ever seen but will you be able to pull it off? When you are looking for your most desired style bare in mind your own hair type; it is straight, curly, fine, thick, long or short? You need to know whether the style that you are hoping for will take well to your own hair type.

Always remember to be open to new ideas. There may be a wedding hairstyle out there that will look perfect on you but you could have easily overlooked it due to the nature of the hairstyle not being like the styles that you normally wear in your hair. This is why it is valuable to talk to your hair stylist. Discuss styles and explain what you are hoping to achieve with your hair style. Together with your stylist you will be able to find the best style for your hair on your wedding day.

When it comes to bridal hair you have more options open to you than for any other occasion. There are a lot of things to consider such as, should I wear my hair up or down? The answer to this question depends on two things, one is your hair long enough to wear in an ‘updo?' and two what is your face shape? People who have a round face shape suit hair styles such as high updo's and well as sleek long styles. People with long faces suit styles that have width and volume. With updo's it is advised to wear your hair with a few loose wispy pieces that frame your face, by doing this you will take the sharpness out of the style, softening your face. This style is a good representation of a more romantic bridal hairstyle.

You should also consider your options when it comes to are you going to wear your hair curly or straight? Also are you going to include tiaras or a veil in your style? If you do decide to include a tiara or veil within your hairstyle it should always compliment your style and never hide it. Remember if you are wearing a veil your hair shouldn't be worn longer than the veil.

No matter what style you decide on for your big day, it is always important to trial your hairstyle before your wedding and if possible take photographs of your wedding dress to the hairdressers with you. By doing both of these things you will avoid a hair disaster as you will know before hand that you hair not only compliments your dress but also that you can pull the style off and that it can easily be applied to your hair.

There are also certain things that you should keep in mind on your wedding day when you are going to get your hair done. You should never wash or condition your hair prior to going to the hairdressers and make sure that you wear clothing with buttons or a zip so that when you are changing into your dress your hairstyle will not get affected.
