Who is in the market for a little white dress!?
Thought this site could be useful for future Brides that are thinking of having a collection of dresses for the different events & photo opps. during her Bridal Era!
.. a second look or a party dress for dancing perhaps?
A pantsuit for your reception dinner, a cute mini for your Hens, or a slinky number for your engagement party?!
The options are endless!

@meshki could be worth a scroll!

Hope that helps! x Aimee

One of the Most Requested Styles this Season for a Reason!

Hairstyling / Aimee @thestyled_bride
Products / @ghdhair_anz Hot Tools @meccabeauty
@nakhair @schwarzkopfproanz @kykhair @denmanbrush
Bride / Kylie
*Hair type / Fine, coloured, great condition (Kylie’s a hairdresser) cut with some face framing layers
Note: We discussed adding some of my clip-in extensions (your something borrowed option perhaps ;)
this adds more guarantee that the waves hold in Kylie’s finer hair & to add more fullness to the ends, but decided against it as the feel of her Wedding day was more relaxed & Kylie didn’t mind if the waves fell throughout the day.

• KAT •

Brides .. Order up this style at your trial or take a note for your Bridesmaids perhaps?

- Mellow Slick Back
with a centre part & big bouncy waves.

Notes: These waves will soften throughout the day
& to add fullness & insurance to Kat’s lovely silky, finer hair
We added 2/3rds of a set of clip in extensions
(we decided on them at our hair trial & Kat rented them off me for the big day)

After doing over 1,000 Weddings
This is what I’ve learnt …
Don’t try to skimp on the getting ready time!!

It will only create a pressured feel to the morning.
.. You need to create wiggle room!

Start at the proposed ceremony time
Then work backwards ..
How long will it take to travel to the venue?
When does your photographer need you dressed by?
etc.

If you have large numbers
.. are planning a first look?
.. a ceremony before 2pm?
.. or a cooked breakfast before you start your glam booking?
Be prepared for an early wake up!

Sometimes I hear Brides even push their ceremony later, after doing the maths so they can create more buffer & a more relaxed flow.

Remember, even if we have an hour per service
(Ie. 1 service = 1 hairstyle)
We will still be moving swiftly, so do as much as possible before the morning so you can enjoy the getting ready process.

For example:
If your ceremony is at 3pm
Hairstyling for x5 of you
starts at 8am
1 hour per person time slot
*plus more time for the Bride
+ set up + touch up time
Wake up Time 7/ 7:30am
Finished by 2pm
*Allow 6 hrs +

Every Makeup Artist & Hairstylist may be different.
& They will provide you with a
run-sheet
But this gives you a broad idea of how quickly that time can be eaten up!

I hope this is helpful if you’re in the early stages of deciding on a ceremony time!

If you have fine, babysoft hair that has a mind of its own?
.. the Half-Up style in any shape or form will be your best friend on your wedding day!

Honestly, there’s a reason it’s one of the most requested styles for any member of the wedding party, season upon season!

Often I will manage expectations too, by explaining that if your hair is uncoloured, fine & straight naturally ..
Then even a wave with all of the correct prep. & product may still fall by the end of the night.
(extensions can help mitigate about 80% of this)
I like to communicate this so that we can decide if a wave, or this style is still what you decide on.
