Your Big Day


Kelly Yokel
Master Stylist

So, he popped the question… finally! Let the planning begin – the dress, the flowers and most certainly how you want your hair to look on your wedding day.

This is your shinning moment, and it should be relaxed, fun and full of wonderful memories. A little planning and preparation will make it all the more easy. The first step to that end is to make a consultation appointment with your Blue Velvet stylist 4-6 weeks prior to the wedding day.

Bring with you any hair accessories you plan to incorporate – falls, extensions, a tiara or of course, the veil. Another helpful thing to bring your stylist is pictures. Whether they’re from your favorite fashion magazine or from last year’s vacation when your hair looked “perfect,” these are a very valuable resource when trying to communicate to your stylist exactly what you do, or don’t want your hair to look like.

When calling in to set up your consultation, go ahead and check with customer service to make sure your stylist will be available on your wedding day. And, when you book your wedding-day appointment, be certain to create adequate time for your service without any rush to make it to your ceremony or photographer’s session.

On that note, keep in mind that your wedding day will be well documented in pictures. If you don’t normally wear your hair up and an updo puts you far out of your comfort zone, then simply don’t. You’ve no obligation to do so—and that’s not the memory you want your wedding album to preserve. There are plenty of ways to style your hair that’ll make you a beautiful bride.

Just remember, this time is for you to enjoy. So, smile.

Kelly still considers herself just an easy-going girl with a pair of shears and a blow drier. She understands the hard work it takes to balance career, family and time for the beach – which makes her equally sympathetic to the needs of her clients and their busy lives.
