How to choose a hairstyle for a summer wedding:
• Wedding hair can be notoriously hard to decide on – it has to work with your dress, accessories, face shape and make you feel totally comfortable at the same time. Take into account the dress neckline and go for a hairstyle that complements it; for example, if you have a detailed, high neckline, an updo or keeping hair behind the shoulders will ensure it’s visible. Try out as many styles as possible with your hairdresser until you find your perfect look.
• Loose, undone braids and romantic updos are a popular choice for summer brides; they look beautiful, keep the hair off your face and neck, and can be let down in the evening for gorgeous waves and movement.
• Consider the location and weather conditions when choosing your summer wedding hair – remember, frizz is caused by moisture, and humid environments can cause really structured

styles, curls and waves to drop.
How to choose between accessories or a veil:
Whether you choose accessories or a veil depends on the neckline of your dress and what hairstyle you have chosen. A beautiful, intricate updo can be hidden or weighed down by a veil, and is better shown off with delicate accessories; wearing the hair in a more loose, flowing style can be complemented by a beautiful veil. Bring your veil or accessories to your hair trial and make sure they work perfectly with the look you have chosen for maximum impact on the day.

For perfect hair all day:
• Use a specific anti-frizz hairspray to keep pesky fly-aways and frizz at bay.
• Keep a compact mirror, a small brush (I recommend the Tangle Angel Baby!)and extra clips in your purse/clutch (or your chief bridesmaid’s!) for any last-minute emergency touch ups.
• After a long day of photos and dancing, hair can start to look lifeless – pop a small dry shampoo in your travel bag to ensure your hair stays looking perfect all day and night.
• A quick spritz of dry shampoo the following morning will add volume and texture for perfect next-day hair.
