This is something that increasingly concerns me. I do know why. I keep seeing photographs of youthful brides with very old looking hairstyles piled up on top of their heads. Its seems to have become de rigeur for brides to have a style that they would never dream of wearing any other day in their life -one of curls, ringlets, lots of pins holding pieces, buns, french plaits and chignon type things. Sometimes, they look a bit ridiculous and I often wonder what the groom is thinking when he sees his bride walking towards him with a hairdo that he's never seen before. I'm sure it must throw some of them a bit, especially if they don't like it much.
It has become part of the wedding day 'formula' and brides to be go along for their hair tests and allow these creations to be applied to them without even considering whether it is right for them, suits them, or they really, really want it.
Its great fun for the hairdresser to get the creative juices flowing but does little to allow the bride to express her personal style and personality.
As a coach -it's not for me to say what is right or wrong for a person but I would always encourage and support someone to be who they are in every way especially on their wedding day.
Back to being authentic again-it's what will bring the most pleasure and allow people to connect with themselves and to their wedding day so they don't look back on it and feel like it was happening to someone that they don't recognise.
