Plan a "Winter Wonderland" Wedding!

Winter-themed weddings can be uber chic and ethereal – an absolute wonderland, if you will. Get inspired with a few of our seasonable ideas by eleGala.com

Winter-Themed Weddings – Things To Consider
Inclement Weather Depending on your wedding location, winter weather can be particularly hairy. If so, don’t force your guests to walk too far or spend considerable time outside. Dress the wedding party (including yourself) in seasonably warm attire.
Holidays Remember that the action-packed holiday season and higher travel costs make it potentially inconvenient for guests to attend a December or early January wedding, but because many people are off between Christmas and New Year’s, a midweek wedding could work. Either way, book your date and spread the word early.

Wedding Day Tresses from eleGale.com

Tips for Wedding Hairstyles
1. Do Your ResearchThis is the fun part. Take some time to explore your options before settling on one hairstyle. Browse wedding and other style magazines, and visit the eleGALA.com Wedding Hairstyles gallery to get inspired.
2. Complement Your LookYour wedding hairstyle should flatter your dress and overall look – not complete with it. Use your dress style and the formality of the event as your guide. Dresses with halter necklines, ball gown silhouettes, or plunging backs practically scream for an updo. An unbuttoned beachside affair calls for long, loose waves. You get the idea.
3. Know YourselfYour face greets you in the mirror every morning, and you and your hair go way back, so chances are you already know which hairstyles flatter your face and which fall flat. Even if you don’t, here are some pointers: A long, thin face will look more so with a long, straight ’do, and ears that stick out a tad too far will be accentuated by a pulled back ’do. Along those lines, don’t attempt a look that isn’t you just because it’s your wedding. Remember: Your goal should be to look like your best version of you, not someone else.
4. Heed the WeatherMake sure your wedding hairstyle will work with the day’s weather conditions. This tip is especially crucial for weddings in humid climates. Do yourself – and your hair – a favor: Don’t force a curly mane into a sleek, straight ’do for an outdoor New Orleans wedding in July.
5. Get the Right LengthRemember that many of the wedding hairstyles shown in magazines require long hair. The good news is that longer tresses can be achieved both naturally and artificially. You can either start growing it early or use clip-on extensions for added volume and length on the big day.
6. Book Your StylistIf you love your usual stylist and are getting married locally, make sure he or she is available on your date; otherwise, start auditioning stylists for the big day. Many hair stylists also offer makeup services and are willing to travel, while others do not.
7. Work with the VeilDon’t forget that your hairstyle and veil must work well together, so you’ll really need to plan one around the other. If you’ve already got the veil, bring it to your stylist before the wedding so he/she can create a style that complements both you and the headpiece. Or if you’re set on a certain hairstyle, have your stylist do a trial run on the same day that you plan to shop for your veil. This way you can easily determine what style of veil will work best.
8. Cut and ColorThe best time to schedule your final cut and color is one to two weeks out – not the day before – to ensure enough time to fix any last-minute color mishaps. And, of course, avoid doing anything too drastic. Again, you want to look like yourself, only better!

WEDDING TIPS FOR AUTUMN BRIDES

Autumn brides-to-be: take note of these fun ways to play up your seasonal wedding. From color schemes to wedding themes, make the most of the season!
Autumn conjures up ideas of crisp weather and bright foliage. What better time to tie the knot? Fall brides don't have to contend with the sweltering summer months of running makeup and frizzy hair or the unpredictable snow and ice storms common in winter months. So how do you make the most of the perfect weather for your perfect day? Here are some ideas especially for autumn weddings:
Fall Wedding Color Palette
When we think of fall, we think of harvest time and all the rich yellows, oranges, golds, copper, peach and browns. This is a great place to begin considerations for your wedding color scheme. Also think about the foliage as a source for color inspiration. Warm, rich colors are inviting and appropriately represent the time of year, as does metallics and jewel tones.
Fall Wedding Flower Options
Popular fall flowers include roses, orchids, gardenias, mums and dahlias. Consider using berries in rich shades to fill in your bouquet. In addition to flowers, you can carry the theme of Fall harvest into your wedding by using pumpkins, bails of hay, maple leaves and cornstalks as well.Read more at Suite101: Fall Wedding Ideas: Tips for Autumn Brides Choosing Seasonal Colors, Flowers and Decor http://weddingstyle.suite101.com/article.cfm/ideas_for_your_fall_wedding#ixzz0zK9xEIZY
