G O W I T H T H E F LOW O F T H E D E S T I N AT I O N Destination weddings often embrace the natural beauty of the surroundings, and your hair can follow suit. Beach weddings often involve sea breezes, while tropical locales can bring high humidity. For a beach wedding, opt for loose waves or a messy bun that captures the carefree spirit of the ocean. Updos, braids and half-up, half-down styles are also popular choices, as they keep your hair off your face and maintain their structure throughout the day. If you have short hair, explore textured styles or accessorize with hairpins. For a garden wedding, consider soft curls or side parts adorned with fresh flowers. TA K E A T R I A L R U N Schedule a trial hairstyle session well in advance of the wedding to experiment with different looks and recommendations that work best for your hair type. Bring inspiration photos and communicate your preferences clearly to your hairstylist. Take photos of what you love so that you can show this to your destination wedding hairstylist.

PAC K T H E ESSENTIALS
Your hair might behave differently in a new climate, so it’s important to prepare for a bit of frizz or flyaways, especially in humid destinations. A flexible attitude will help you feel more relaxed and confident, and embracing your hair’s natural texture can create an effortless and stunning effect.
Hair accessories can elevate your hairstyle to new heights. Consider adding a touch of sparkle with crystal pins, delicate hair vines, or a statement headpiece. Floral crowns work wonders for bohemian beach weddings, while intricate hair combs or delicate embroidered veils can accentuate vintage-inspired looks.
Bring along your preferred styling products and any hair accessories you plan to use. If you’re considering a specific hairstyle that requires certain tools, consult your hairstylist to ensure you have everything you need.
