Theres no getting round it: weddings are expensive. Surveys suggest that the price of the average wedding has dropped since 2008, but can still run into tens of thousands of dollars. So its no surprise that so many brides and grooms are turning to DIY, or DIT (Do It Together) as its becoming known.
Doing things yourself for your wedding whether its arranging your own flowers or self-catering isnt just about saving money. Its also about putting your own personal touch on proceedings, so it feels like your celebration and not just another industrial wedding. This is particularly the case with your hair and beauty, as its important to look like yourself on your wedding day. If youre a bride hoping to DIY your hair and beauty, heres a few essential tips to bear in mind.
Doing your own wedding hair
There are two key elements to doing your own wedding hair: having confidence in your decisions and practising constantly to get your style right. Professional hairdressers can charge huge amounts for wedding hairstyles for a reason: they know what theyre doing and usually have several years experience to back it up. So if you want your hair to be perfect on your wedding day, its advisable to spend several days repeatedly putting together your hairstyle of choice before the morning arrives.
