A Note from Captain Obvious: Hair and Makeup for Maids



I was looking at some photos recently of a wedding, and they looked amazing, except for one tiny problem. One of the bridesmaids had ATROCIOUS hair. It was clearly styled to look the way it looked, it wasn't just an unfortunate accident. And all I saw in those pictures was that bridesmaid's head. It REALLY stuck out. (Her hair was kind of big, and a much darker color than the others).

Here's the deal. Your bridesmaids may be gorgeous girls with great style in general, but that does not mean you should let them just do their thing on the big day. While matchy matchy hairdos are definitely not cute, there should be consistency with the look. Makeup too. Sometimes this just takes care of itself as people get ready together, but to be safe, make sure you are giving some guidelines ahead of time. And don't be afraid to tell someone if they need to change up their look. It will save us all pain in the long run.

Thanks for Listening,
Captain Obvious
