Think about your dress
Does it have a dramatic neckline, it may be backless, your dress may have a simple neckline or collar, will you wear a veil, a hat or accessory that will determine what kind of style you may want .
Consider the weather- and location- Is it an outdoor wedding, is it cold, hot, humid, windy, rainy time of year. Casual or formal.
A beach wedding you may want beachy waves, a formal wedding you may want a formal updo. The weather may affect the type of style you may have.
Choose a realistic style for you
Consider your hair texture, thickness, length, you may want to add extensions for length and fullness.
This is where your stylist may be able to have ideas and suggestions for you.
Book a trial appointment- or 2 this is in my opinion an important part of the process and is key in helping you choose a hairstyle that is suitable for you, this is the time to experiment with your hair. Do you wear it up or down, waves or curls?

Your hair trial appointment is the time to choose your style, not on your big day . This will also give you an idea of time needed for the day.
