Part of being a bride is dreaming about how you will look on your wedding day. Bringing those dreams to life where things get tricky. Nowadays, there are so many different styling options for brides to consider. One thing is for sure, in the Tampa area, your hair must look fabulous as well as resist the heat and humidity. Your wedding hair will underpin your entire look that you have created with your makeup and gown.
LONG HAIRSTYLES
For long hair, the updo is the contemporary style. However, some brides feel certain updo styles are not modern enough. Discuss your updo choices with your hairdresser, as many modern styles are available to choose from.
SHORT HAIRSTYLES
There are many modern choices for short wedding hair styles from such as a pixie cut or a short bob. The advantage of these beautiful styles is they keep the focus on your gown. You can also consider including some hair accessories such as a tiara or flowers to complete the look.
Be sure to discuss and present the accessories to your hair stylist so they may help incorporate them into your look! Of course, you can always consider extensions if you would like that longer hair look.
HALF-UP HAIRSTYLES
Maybe you’re unsure whether to wear your hair up or down? In that case, you may feel more
comfortable with the half updo.
Be sure that this style suits your facial structure, typically women’s faces will look larger when they choose this hairstyle.
MEDIUM LENGTH HAIRSTYLES
You can wear your hair up in a classic twisted knot, updo or down. There are many options for medium length hair during weddings.
For best results, be sure to keep your hair healthy and maintained during the weeks before the wedding. If you need assistance, a mobile wedding hairdresser is an excellent option. They can be onsite anytime to meet your flexible and hectic wedding schedule.

If you plan on coloring, lightening, or darkening your hair before your wedding, you need to consider a few factors. You want a color that is dark enough to look magical under flash photography. However, you want it to look great during your honeymoon and the following weeks!
These are 5 tips for planning your hair color from a professional wedding hair stylist:
(1) Contact your hairdresser at least 3 months before your wedding day. Optimally, you will need a few appointments to consult and decide on your hairstyle and color.
(2) Always bring all hair accessories to your meetings with your hair stylist. Knowing the accessories will help the stylist decide the best aesthetic route for your hair color and style.
(3) Be sure any color, highlights or lowlights are done one week before the wedding. You want the color to adhere to the hair so that it can look its best.
(4) Never shampoo your hair within 2 days of it being color treated or else you risk stripping the color off. Let the hair color settle for 2 days, then use color-safe shampoo.
(5) Finally, be sure your hair is healthy and moisturized to make color pop. To do so, be sure you keep your hair conditioned with sulfate free shampoo.

However, by choosing the right makeup artist, you can assure that at least some of your wedding day stressors are alleviated. Ultimately, you want a makeup artist that makes you feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident for your special day.

Having a makeup artist that is mobile can save you tons of worry and time. Mobile artists can come to your venue, home, or any other location to set up shop. A few pros of an onsite makeup artist are:
• Bridesmaids can cozy up and relax while getting prepped!
• You get adorable photos of the process as keepsakes!
• You favorite food can just be delivered!
• No need to leave or drive, everyone just comes to you!
• You have total control of the environment, and all the privacy that comes with blasting your favorite music!
• You can get touched up anytime!
Perfect for you is the only type of perfect that matters! There are a few things you can do to ensure that your makeup artist is able to deliver that perfect experience:
Be farmiliar with your style. Your style is unique! You want your makeup to enhance how uniquely beautiful you are. It is important that your wedding look is familiar. Of course, on your special day it is going to be exaggerated by you and your artist, but you want it to be reminiscent of however you usually wear it.
Envision what you want. Obviously, not everyone is going to know exactly what they want and that is ok! Just be prepared to explore your vision with your artist. Going through galleries or social media and discussing what looks you like directly with your makeup artist helps them understand your vision!
Coordinate your availability. Not only weddings, but all major occasions require diligent planning. Be sure that you and your makeup artist have no scheduling conflicts before you book them! Be transparent about your needs so that they may schedule their time, pricing, and staff accordingly.
