WALKING INTO MARRIED LIFE Comfort must be a top priority, as a bride can walk miles on her wedding day. Wear your shoes around the house during the run-up to the wedding. This will get any sore points or blisters out of the way and give you time to rethink. Be aware that if you buy shoes in winter, your feet will swell with heat in summer – make allowances for this. It’s essential to know your limits regarding heel height. Stick with a height you're familiar with, and don’t try to go the extra mile because your dress is too long. To avoid this problem, try shoes on preferably while wearing your dress. Think about the terrain. Will it be hard-standing grass or even sand? Don’t go for a stiletto heel if you’re having a beach wedding, for example. Wedges, flat strappy sandals, flat pumps or sneakers can be cool alternatives. Your shoes can also add that extra talking point to your special day. My company, Shoesbyhaze, can print any image or photo, including family photos, onto your heels to help you stand out from the crowd. Hazel Orton | Shoesbyhaze www.shoesbyhaze.co.uk HAIR NECESSITIES Prioritise maintaining your hair health, as it forms the crucial base for any bridal hairstyle. In the months leading up to your wedding, make it a priority to schedule regular trims, indulge in deep conditioning treatments and follow a nourishing hair routine. Don't forget to plan your final colour touch-up two to four weeks before the big day to ensure your hair is in its best condition. Consider your dress, themes and overall wedding aesthetic. For example, if you’re having a rustic outdoor wedding, consider a relaxed bohemian upstyle which can withstand the elements. On the other hand, if you’re wearing a fitted backless dress, loose waves in a half-up style would pair perfectly. Research is key! Look for styles that align with your hair colour and texture, as this will give you a realistic idea of how the style will look. Remember, many styles incorporate clip-in hair extensions for added volume and length, so consider if you’re open to using them for your bridal look. This research will help you make an informed decision about your hairstyle. Accessories can take your style to the next level. Whether you opt for sparkling hair pins, a delicate flower crown or a classic veil, the right accessory can add the perfect finishing touch. During your trial appointment, we can experiment with different accessories to find the ones that complement your hairstyle and overall bridal aesthetic. Above all, the key to finding your perfect bridal hairstyle is embracing your unique beauty and personal style. Trust your instincts and choose a hairstyle that makes you feel confident, comfortable and authentically yourself on your special day!
