As a bride, it's probably your dream to look picture perfect and gorgeous on your special day, your wedding day and this would mean flawless wedding hair to complement your fabulous wedding dress and the settings. As the bride walks down the aisle, it is very important for her to look her best. No bride would want to turn up at her wedding looking like a total mess, with frizzy hair and makeup that makes her look like a clown.

Yes, brides should always look beautiful, but definitely not too different. First things first, as a bride-to-be, you need to start looking for a good hair and makeup consultant a few weeks prior to the big day. Finding the ideal wedding gown can be quite a challenge, but finding the perfect hairstyle for your wedding can be all the more challenging! Everyone wants to look beautiful and special on their wedding day and so it is important to ask for help to decide what hairstyle will look the best for you.

First, you need to start by deciding how you want to wear your hair, whether you want it long, short, straight, curly, pulled down or up. Always choose a style that suits your face the best or if you're more comfortable with your hair pulled up and away from the face or pulled down. A few loose strands of hair could give you that wispy and girly charm if you happen to wear your hair up, as it softens the face.

From curls that are soft and romantic to buns, plaits, twists and pleats, there are endless variations to wearing your hair pulled up. If you want something that's a lot more trendy and contemporary, then go for twists and spikes. Your hair should always reflect your personality.

When choosing a hairstyle for your wedding day, make sure that your veil and tiara complement your hair instead of hiding it. If your veil is going to be floor-length, then your hairstyle will have to be strong enough to hold the veil. The headband style can be worn with the hair either up or down. Instead of the usual diamond studded headbands, you could try a thick white one that can be worn with or even without a veil.

The wreath or the crown is a combination of flowers and ribbons or a circle of flowers. If you're planning on using this for your wedding, then you can wear it with your hair up or down – anything works for it.

Here are a few tips for flawless wedding hair:

• A chic and sophisticated wedding gown calls for a more sophisticated wedding hairstyle like a chignon.
• When choosing your hairstyle, always take your wedding gown into consideration. If the gown is feminine and lacy, romantic curls are the best.
• If you're having an outdoor wedding, make sure your hair does not react badly to the humidity. If your hair is bound to flatten outdoors, go in for a chignon.
• Unless you have extremely oily hair, you should shampoo one day before your wedding, irrespective of whether you are using professional help or not.
• Hairstyles will always look better if it has been dried for a few hours.

Follow these tips and you should have no problem getting those sexy curls or that fabulously chic hairstyle on the day of your wedding!
