Mostly A’s-Classic ~ Mostly B’s-Vintage ~ Mostly C’s- Romantic ~ Mostly D’s- Modern ~ Mostly E’s- Natural

You are classic- A sleek and smooth style with an elegant bun might be the most flattering style on you. Keeping the hair simple and timeless will draw attention to your face. For your makeup our stylists recommend a rosy cheek to give you that “blushing bride” look.

You are vintage- Mix the old style with the new! Take part of a past style, such as a jessica rabbit wave and blend it with a fun updo. Our makeup artists would make your look pop with a smokey cat eye and red lip.

You are romantic- Think soft and elegant. Go for a low side bun or have some curls going down your back. Keep it loose and not too uniform to for a flow throughout the look. Wear a deeper color eyeshadow to bring attention to your eyes.

You are modern- Push the limit and try something new. Incorporate a braid into your hair or experiment with texture. Surprise people by wearing an unexpected color on your eyes like purple or even green!

You are natural- You can pull off wearing your hair down in loose waves. To make this look more formal we would pull back just one side. Don’t go too crazy with your makeup because it would probably make you feel uncomfortable. Stick with warm earth tones and choose one feature to accentuate like your lips or eyes.

You tied- Don’t worry you don’t have multiple personalities so don’t commit yourself yet. It is very common to not fit into a single style category. You can have the best of two worlds. Try a vintage hairstyle but mix it up with a modern orange eyeshadow or a natural hairstyle with a vintage red lip!

Find your Stylist

Now that you have a grasp on what style bride you are, it’s time to find the perfect stylist or styling team to create your ideal look. Many brides to be have a hard time choosing their hair and makeup stylist. Lets face it, with so many options out there it is a daunting task. Think of selecting your stylist as you would picking out your bridal gown. You would never walk into a bridal boutique and say “give me the cheapest gown, it doesn’t matter if it fits my body or personal style, I don’t even need to try it on” and you should not shop for your hair and makeup artist in that manner either. Before you find the right “fit” you might need to try a couple different styles. Always look for a professional who offers a bridal trial, uses top of the line products, professional grade styling tools, expert pinning techniques and practices proper sanitation. Your hair and makeup artists will be the ones taking care of you on your wedding day and they should offer a very relaxing experience. On your wedding day you should look beautiful and feel beautiful too.
