“ The sleek, polished low updo or chignon is

always a great choice. It works well in all weather

conditions and pairs beautifully with any veil.

Another wonderful option is a textured half-up,

half-down style— it’ s timeless, secure for veils

and keeps hair softly framed around the face.”

“ The night before your wedding,

wash and blow out your hair. Make sure

your face is clean and well-hydrated

for makeup application the next day.

Use under-eye patches or a hydrating

mask if you have them, and try to get

a good night’ s sleep. Clean, dry hair

from the night before is best when

coming in for your bridal styling.”
