Formal Updos – Tips to Consider for Wedding Updos

What to do with your hair on your wedding day is a big decision. Should you have your hair up in one of the many styles of wedding updos or long and flowing? You should begin looking for a style that suits you as soon as you know you are getting married, if not before. One of the most important things to keep in mind is that you should have a style that you will feel not only comfortable in but also a style that will make you feel beautiful.

There are many styles of wedding updos to choose from that range from very formal to a more casual, yet elegant look. The shape of your face, the theme of your wedding, and the type of veil, headdress or accessories you will be wearing will all play a part in your decision. Make sure you let your hairstylist know what you will be wearing in your hair by bringing all your hair accessories you will be using with you to your appointment.

Many brides have wedding updos that they are able to wear one way with the veil and then with a couple of quick easy changes they can do themselves, have a separate look for the wedding reception. Be sure to ask you hairstylist to show you how to remove the veil without ruining your hair style.

Months before the wedding, you should be taking extra good care of your hair. That means no teaching yourself how to "do it yourself" with coloring, perms or chemical straightening of your own hair, leave it to the professionals. You don't want a chemical treatment gone wrong a few months before your wedding to make it impossible to have the style you want on your big day. You also do not want to have your hair partially colored if you are choosing an updo, the striping or two toned effect may not be the look you are looking for.

So where do you find the perfect hair style for your wedding day? You can check with your stylist, look in the books at the salon, look at bride magazines, or even search for "wedding updos" or "wedding hairstyles" on the internet for some great examples. If you are on a tight budget and are looking for areas to cut costs, you may want to consider learning how to put your own hair in an updo. Even if you would never consider cutting your own hair, learning how to put up your hair in an updo is much easier and less dangerous than cutting it. Ebooks you can download online, like "The Top Twenty Five Formal Updos for Hair You Can Do" will show you exactly how to do your own updos and styles. The important point is to leave yourself enough time to choose the style you will be happy with on your wedding day.
