Your big day is approaching and everything is planned. One thing you may need to put more time into is deciding how to wear your hair. This can either compliment or take away from your beauty on the most special day of your life. The first step in deciding on a wedding hairstyle is finding the right stylist, someone who is open to your ideas and familiar with your personal style. Start looking for a stylist at least four months before your wedding.
Make an appointment with a hairdresser recommended by your family and friends, or with your own hairdresser. It is better to bring pictures of the dress, headpiece and the hairstyles that you would like to try. Also, discuss with the hairdresser what will b the appropriate color, texture and the style.

Those with heart-shaped faces can go with a sweep of hair across the brow in whatever style they choose.
