Tips For Having a Vintage Hairstyle on your Wedding Day:

• Still not sure which era or look? Check out our more detailed Guide to Vintage Wedding Hair.
• Retro and vintage hairstyles often take more time to achieve, with lots of products, teasing and equipment required, so don't expect these masterpieces to be quick!
• When looking at a certain era, we suggest researching celebrities of that time as well as brides for a truly vintage look.
• In your hair trial, make sure you're happy with the final look - if you don't love something in the trial, chances are you won't love it on the big day!
• While it's good to have a vision of the kind of hair do you want for your wedding day, bring a few variations to your hair trial, rather than one specific look. Your stylist may not be able to replicate the exact style, so having a few examples will help them create something similar instead.
• Ask your hairstylist how you should prep your hair for your wedding morning - they will usually request it unwashed so it's easier to work with.
• To keep your look polished and neat be prepared with plenty of hairpins and spray on hand or stashed with your trusty bridesmaids.
• To find the right person to style your wedding day tresses, get in touch with one of our recommended hairstylists.
