2Think about letting your brides have a say in their wedding day hairstyle.
- Allowing input from your closest friends in the wedding results in not have any animosity over choosing a style that she may not like. Different hairstyles compliment various face shapes, and each bridesmaid will probably have a hairstyle that is better suited to her.
- Tie different hairstyles in to compliment each other by having them each work the same hair accessory into the style. Long or short, up or down, most hair accessories can be implemented into any style.
- If you are allowing your bridesmaids to mix and match hairstyles, make sure that she gives you a preview of the hairstyle that she has in mind. You don't want something inappropriate or one that does not compliment the rest of the group.
