It's the biggest event of your life. The day you have waited years for. You have your dress. You have your veil. But what to do about your hair? Everything has to be perfect for the big day and for the pictures. Chances are you do not want to look back on your wedding album and think, "What was I thinking with that hairdo?" Instead, you want to feel confidant that you picked a timeless and elegant look. You simply must research hairstyles and have practice hair trials in order to meet your own expectations. And never ever get any last minute haircuts!

When I was getting married, I wanted an Audrey Hepburn like hairdo. I researched on the internet for wedding hairstyles. I was looking for the closest resemblence to Audrey's fabulous looks. However, I also had to take into consideration my tiara and veil. Once I found the hairstyle of my dreams, I called my hairstylist.

It might be a little expensive to spend so much money on hair, but it's an even bigger waste of money in the long wrong if you don't do a hair trial. I mean think about how much money you are spending on your wedding and to be unhappy for it? Well that is a huge waste to me and it will show up in your photos and ruin them. Also, you might choose a particular hairstyle that doesn't go well with your tiara or veil. And you wouldn't realize this unless you had a trial or even worse, if you skipped the trial, on your wedding day.

Never ever get any last minute haircuts. It was the day before my mom's wedding, (obviously I wasn't there, but she told me about it), and she went to get a haircut. This was the biggest mistake for my poor mommy. It is the nightmare of any bride and any woman! My mom had very long hair. Her hair went all the way down her back and it was my father's favorite thing about her. He had
