22 Fairy Tale Wedding Hairstyles

Q:

Hi, GG, I hope you can help me! My boyfriend proposed to me while we were standing in line for the Harry Potter movie. Our wedding is planned for next Spring, but neither of us want to get married indoors. I am not into formality or stuffy events, so I am having a problem deciding on a theme for my wedding. I am hoping you can help me decide on an idea, so I can start planning soon. Thnaks, Gretta.

 

A.

First of all, Gretta, let me congratulate you on your engagement. Best wishes forever!

Consider a Fairy Tale Theme for planning your wedding. When I imagine a fairy tale theme, I think of things, like:forests, meadows, glens, flowers, vines, groves, creeks, nymphs, gnomes and fairy princesses!

Your special day could be held in a place that is special to you and your fiance, such as a lush park, with a rose garden, or a beautiful spot near a river or lake. Should the weather drive you inside, be sure to find a place that has LOTS of natural lighting, such as skylights or large windows. What you want is the look and feel of Mother Nature embracing you both!

You may not be able to get your betrothed to dress up like a gnome, but that is no reason for you to resist dressing up like a fairy. After all, what is a fairy tale wedding without a fairy? My mind gravitates to the wood nymph, a shy, little fairy, who tends to the flora and fauna of the forest with tender loving care, (left).  

No matter what, you will want your dress and the (dresses of your bridesmaids,) to be the color from nature, grass greens, rose pinks, lagoon blue, and the color of babies breath.

What to Wear? : Wedding in the West Indies

Question :
I'm going to St. Kitt's, W. Indies for a wedding. I'm wearing a gold dress. Simple, wide pleats on bottom. Nice sash around waist and top part of dress is simple v-neck. What color jewelry do I wear?

Answer :
Hi Evelyn,
I need a bit more information in order to answer your question properly.

First off, is the dress metallic gold? Or is is yellow gold? This will make a big difference in how I answer.

Next, please tell me when you will be in St. Kitts. I imagine it will be warm year round, but its important to know what goes on there culturally.

Lastly, is the wedding during the day? Evening or night?
Indoors or outdoors. Its hard to tell if the bride is going to
have a Caribbean theme or a typical traditional theme. It would help to know. Some brides wear white bikinis on the beach!

So get back when you can and I will try to answer the question better.

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

The dress is a yellow gold. I w/be in St. Kitt's Nov 5th. Wedding is in the evening. The bride w/be traditonally dressed.

Thanks

Also dress is short and simple. But has a V neck shirt collar.

Answer
Hi Evelyn
I am including a picture so you can see my recommdation. Yellow gold is a lot of color and this necklace will keep it from looking like too much color. You can choose to wear the set (necklace and earrings or just one or the other)

 This lovely bib is on sale now too!

I would suggest that you wear shoes to match the pewter color of the second level of stones, very neutral, light gray-brown, aka champagne color.

What to Wear : Class Reunion

Question
Hi - I have my 30th class reunion coming up next month and we put casual dress on the invitation.  I want to wear jeans w/heel (thinking of peep toe type heel) and a nice dressy top.  I have dark brown hair and eyes and I'm 5'5" and even though I have a small waist I tend to be bigger through the hip and thigh area.  I was thinking of a longer type of top that doesn't hug my butt belted but then I don't know if that makes my hips look bigger because my waist is smaller.  Now mind you - when I graduated HS I was way too thin and I weighed 190 at my 25th class reunion which was 5 years ago.  So, I am 20lbs heavier since my 25th class reunion  :(  I really want to look nice and stylish - can you help!!
thank you!!!

Answer
Hi Trudi,
First  of all, even though jeans  are  casual,  remember they WILL make your hips and  thighs look bigger. It has to do with the cut and all the extra detail and stitching on them. But I do  understand that everyone wears jeans, so.....

As  far  as  your top, you can  wear a longer  top. But in order  to minimize your hips,  be sure to choose a top that is the same color as your pants. SO if you are wearing dark blue jeans, choose a dark blue top etc...I know this may sound boring but it will do your figure good, it slims and camoflages any imperfections. Your heels will make a fine statement, and so will your jewelry. You might want to choose a pair of really big earrings for extra  pizzazz.

Let me know how you put it all together! Have fun at your 30th.

What To Wear : Homecoming Zebra Dress

Question
I made Homecoming and I have a Zebra dress I wanna kinda make it pop But do Black heels look best or is there another color i could wear to make  me stand out? and any cute hair styles for medium lenght hair?

Answer
Hi Lindsey,
Congratulations on making homecoming, what an honor.

Lindsey, your Zebra dress WILL POP, just because it is a Zebra dress.
The contrast will draw all eyes to you.

What you need to think abuot is your jewelry and other accessories. Be sure to wear really BOLD earrings, nothing too small, or they will look wimpy.

Check out the hairstyles gallery at Shop4prom.com

Depending on your face shape and hair texture, you can choose an updo which will make you look really sophisticated or wear your hair down arond your shoulders. But the updo will really show off your dress and make  you look like a celebrity. 

What to Wear : Musical Contest

Question
I need to dress up for a junior high music contest. I have three solos that I will be doing so I need to look alright for them. I know that the more info you have, the easier it will be to answer my question, so I'll give you some background.

I am a 13 year old girl in th 8th grade. I am quite pale, like I'm the lightest shade of face powder you will find. I have naturally blonde hair that has some natural red tones (i used to have red hair when i was little, but it turned blonde). I have dark green/blue/gray-green eyes and long light eyelashes. I have some skin problems, so I always wear a powder on my face. I also have fullish lips which I think are very pretty and naturally dark pinkish. I also have braces, on top and bottom teeth, if that means anything to you. My height is 5'4" and I weigh about 130 pounds, I don't really have any problem areas except my thighs, which doesn't matter because I'm wearing a dress.

The dress I'm wearing is black with black lace netting over it. The lace on top has darker black polka dots. The sleeves are sort of like a tank top but is made only out of lace and the normal dress fabric part of it starts at a "strapless" level I guess. The top part is fitted and has ruching on it under the lace and has a black ribbon that goes around a little under my waist. It goes to right below my knees and has more lace at the bottom to make it poof out a little, so it's an A-line dress. I'm wearing 2 and a half to 3 inch black heels that are really simple with it, a biggish clear crystal and silver ring (one big stone in the center with a silver color band around it), small dangly earrings that have black beads on them, and a 3-strand fake pearl bracelet with little seperater things that keep the strands together with small crystal rhinestone things on them. Mostly just simple accesories.

omg i know this is reeeaaally long but I just have a little bit left. If you could help me decide on makeup that would be helpful. I usually wear face powder, brown-black mascara (a couple of coats to make my eyelashes dark and full at the roots), not a lot of eyeliner (and I usually change the color every day), and sometimes lip gloss or a little bit of lipstick. Do you think I should maybe wear reddish lipstick and just mascara with a little bit of silvery shimmery eyeshadow, or should I make my eyes smoky-ish and shimmery and not do anything with my lips exept maybe a little bit of clear gloss? I'm not hoping to look super-vampy or glamorous, and I'm not going for the goth look, so I'm going to try not to wear to much black or dramatic makeup.

One of my solos is a French Horn solo, so I'll have to wipe off any lipstick or lipgloss and re-apply later. Also, do you think my outfit sounds all right? not to black or depressing, I hoped it looked classy.  

Answer
Hi Lizzy,
First of all I want to commend you on your excellent use of the English language! I am very happy to receive letters with so much information and which is also clearly explained.

So you've picked our your dress and accessories, they all sound lovely, nicely chosen and classy. Simple and elegant is always right.

As for your makeup, I like the idea of making your eyes smoky, and eliminating your lipstick totally until after the concert. That way you won't have to worry about re-applying lipstick all evening! You really do want to concentrate on your performance, instead. I am assuming you will be up on stage? If so, I think it will be impossible for most people in the audience to see whether or not you have lipstick on. Perhaps, if a photo is taken, dab a bit of gloss on at that time.

And may I suggest, that now you are going through puberty and your skin is acting up: try sprinkling a bit of baking soda on your hand, mix with your facial soap (cetaphil works great) and gently wash  your face, then rinse. This will help keep cleaning away the dead skin that can cause breakouts~ it is gentle and inexpensive, too!

Best wishes at your concert, hope you win!

What to Wear : Wedding Guest Hairstyle

QUESTION: Does it matter what the weather conditions are and what shoes should i wear to a February wedding with a black dupioni silk tea length dress? And my hair should i have an updo or wear it down with curls?

ANSWER: Hi Kina,
I hope I can help you with your questions!
In general, yes, the weather will be a deciding factor in what you wear with your dress. I sounds beautiful by the way. You will want to find some nice heels that have closed toes and heels, since you are attending a wedding in the middle of winter! If you live in an area where the temperature is in the forties or fifties, you can get away with open heel shoes, but if you are facing frigid weather or rain or snow, definitley wear closed shoes..we don't want any sneezing at the church!

As for your hair, I would have to know a little more about your face shape,,,because I would be deciding about your hairstyle based on what looks best on you...if you need help with learning what yoru faceshape is go to www.shop4prom.com and click on the hairstyles link.

Once you know, email or send another question with this info and I will recommend and really nice hairstyle picked just for you!!

Let me know if this helps or if you have more questions!

QUESTION: Concerning my Hairstlye...I have a extremely thick long straight hair, past my waist its hard to style any day ! I have green eyes and brown hair.I'm very natural looking also I do not wear make up.Occasionally lip gloss with a little tint and clear mascara. I'm still unsure as to what shape my face is but these are the measurements:cheekbones 6 inches across,jawline and forhead are the same 5inches, from the tip of my hairline to my chin it is close to 8 inches. so i would guess somewhere between oval,round and oblong. (my cheeks are extremely full).
 
Answer

Half down half updo
Hi Kina,
You have a lovely face and beautiful hair! From your picture, and your measurements, it appears that your face shape is oval, which means you can wear just about any style you want!

I like the idea of using only a bit of tint on your lips, and the clear mascara separates and darkens your natural lashes. No need to wear makeup if you don't need it!

I chose this half down, half updo hairstyle for you for two reasons. #1 Its easy to achieve. #2 It will look good no matter how long the wedding and reception lasts.

Half down half updos are nice for girls who prefer natural styles, because it still looks natural. Typically, an updo takes more work to create and more products to keep it in place, such as pins, gels, and hair spray...and it doesn't always feel very comfortable, unless you are used to using a lot of product on your hair.

This style is perfect, it is classy, dressy and feminine. Perfect for any special occasion!

What to Wear : Darker Colors

Question
1:I have layers in my hair, and I use a flat iron. Should I iron it by layers or just in sections.

2:Will dark jeans make your legs look thinner, if not what color and size (size as
in tight loose, etc.)

Answer
Hi Lindsay,

I can really only answer your 2nd question,,,I am not sure what you mean about the hot iron! I don't want to give you any wrong information.

But hopefully this will help. Any dark or medium tone will make your legs look thinner. In general lighter colors stand out (look bigger. ) and darker colors recede, or appear smaller. I like to recommend straight legged jeans, they hang straight down from the hip. Longer jeans make your leg look thinner and longer. Crop pants make your legs look shorter and therefor heavier...

Hope this helps!

What to Wear : Body Type

Hi There
I'd really appreciate you telling me what would suit my body shape. I mean, well, I'm small-busted but also broad-shouldered, and I have a fuller lower half (hips/bum/legs etc) with a short waist. What should someone like me be looking for?

 

Answer

Hi Elan,
Happy to help you!
For starters I want to let you know that there is a trend here in the US toward more structured dresses. My fav is the one Amy Adams wore at the Oscars...Amy is very small busted but she camouflages that by wearing more structured cuts in the bodice...her designer did this for her to help balance out her proportions...

This dress is also a good style to camouflage a heavier bottom half. It drapes nicely, rather than hug the hips and thighs.

These are good tips for you to follow also. Look for dresses or tops that have structure or extra details as part of the design. Avoid simple sleek tops.

Here are some additional slimming tips for formal wear.

What to Wear : Light Skintone Black Hair

Question
what color would look best on me?
Hi my names ashleigh. i am 16 years old and was just wondering which color would suit me best. My natural hair color is medium brown, But i have currently died it black, i am medium to light skinned. I usually wear boring colors such as black but i am not a Goth.
Answer

Hi Ashleigh
Thank you for your question.
The trick with colour is
1. find the colours that suit you best
2. build a wardrobe around your 2 or 3 favorites.

For instance, with your current hair color, you do look good in black but there is no reason wear all black. White and black are good choices for your basic colors.

Do you have a favorite color? Let's say its pink.
Not just any pink. Your best pink should be bold and bright like magenta.

So your wardrobe could have
black pants, shorts or skirts
white pants, shorts or skirts.
lots of white tops in different styles, casual, clubwear, etc.
lots of tops in pink, and or black

Now your pink/magenta will be your accent color to jazz it up a bit.
How about black shorts, white top and magenta tennis shoes for casual?

Or white skirt, magenta top and white sandals and a magenta and black totebag that you can wear with anything in your new wardrobe.

My advice for you is to build on what you already have in your closet, and add pieces to it as you can.

Now be sure to write me if you go back to brown hair. I will have a completly different answer for you!

Answer

Dress for Round Body
Hi Noor,From the way you describe your figure, it sounds like you have a round body type.

What you need to concentrate on is to de-emphasize the roundness and emphasize the feminine parts of your body.

For one thing, you need to avoid jeans and t-shirts! They are guy clothes, they make guys and slender girls like Cameron Diaz look good but do nothing for other figure types.

My suggestion to you would be to purchase or sew a dress that accents your legs and smooths and lengthens the upper body.

I am attaching an image of the type of dress I am talking about.
I would not recommend this fabric. Instead find a fabric in a plain color, preferable a darker color. By the way to find your best colors, go to http://www.shop4prom.com/prom_colors01.asp

A dress like this will do wonders for your body type and increase your feminine look. Make sure you wear makeup and earrings and do your hair really nice, too. This will do more to emphasize your femininity by accenting your beautiful eyes.

Please let me know if this helps you! And if you ever need more advice, feel free to ask another question!

Best wishes,

What to Wear : Classical Concert

Question
Hi,
I will be attending the Andrea Bocelli concert in San Antonio, TX Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at 7:30 PM at San Antonio Municipal Auditorium and have NO idea what to wear. I am from Michigan where typically I would be wearing something with a little warmth and my mink coat. I'm sure that's not appropriate for Texas. I have never been to Texas and have no idea what to pack for the days I will be there. Any help greatly appreciated!
 
Answer
Although I am not an expert in the weather, I do recommend you check out this website. You will find the current weather conditions for San Antonio. As you can see it is still quite warm and your mink would not be at all necessary!

http://www.wunderground.com

I am by no means that familiar with San Antonio, having never been there, so I would look for something in lighter materials. Ideally, you would purchase something that you could actually wear to a similar event in Michigan.

I chose this dress because it can be worn at a cocktail party anywhere, and it is made of a light fabric.

For the rest of your wardrobe, it all really depends upon your activities, but here are a few essentials.Whenever you travel plan to bring basic colors for your clothing. Use your jewelry to add color. This will simplify your packing

Navy slacks
Navy shorts
Off-white or cream shorts
Off-white or cream slacks
Navy T-shirt long sleeve (crew neck)
Navy T-shirt short sleeve
White t-shirt short sleeve
White T-shirt long sleeve (crew neck)
White Sweater (just in case)
Cream and beige striped shirt
Navy and white print shirt
Light brown walking shoes
White tennis shoes, if you wish.
Black heels
Simple Gold earrings and bracelet for day
Fancy Gold earrings and bracelet for night
Bring an umbrella!

As you can see, this suitcase would contain basic colors that mix and match. Most of the outfits would be casual, except for the dress. 

Here's a tip. Wearing all one color makes your outfit dressier looking. For example, during the day, wear your white short sleeved t-shirt with your navy slacks for a casual look. At night wear your white long sleeved t-shirt and white slacks and fancy gold earrings for a slight dressier look. It will create the illusion of elegance even though you are wearing a t-shirt.

I hope this helps answer your question. Please let me know what you think. I have tried to give you some basic idea of how to pack and this should give you a good idea of to pack for all your future trips, anywhere in the world.

1. Weather
2. Basic styles, basic colors

Have a greaaaaaaaaaaaaat time!

What to Wear : Classical Concert

Answer

Navy blue pant suit
Hi Joanne,
I do understand about that budget thing, gets in the way of our preferred lifestyle, doesn't it?

My suggestion to you would be to find one of those stores that sell nice clothes for less, in our area we have one called Ross, Dress for less.

At this point in your life, approaching adulthood, you will want to invest in your wardrobe to match your expanding experiences. This will not be the last time you need to wear a dressy outfit, so you will want to start acquiring these essentials now. Buy as high of quality as you can scrape together, so it lasts for years rather than months. Remember you are investing in yourself for a good long time!

Look for a pantsuit in a neutral color that suits your haircoloring and eyecoloring. A simple way to choose is to match your haircolor, black or dark blue suit with black hair, cocoa with brown hair, tan with blonde hair etc. (Go to shop4prom.com for advice on choosing your perfect colors for makeup!). By purchasing your pantsuit in a neutral color, you can wear it to many different occasions and use inexpensive jewelry to change the look. Its cheaper than buying a new outfit for every occasion.

Look for a basic, classic style, something that will look good for years to come.

Next you want to make sure it is a good fit for your body type. Being short and chubby, you want to wear something in one color only, to elongate your body. Simple lines,no belts or bulky accessories.


Finally, I've chosen a pant suit because you   don't like dresses. Just remember, you need your pant suit to look dressy, by choosing a dressy, softer material and by accessorising it correctly.

I have included a photo to help you get the idea, you can add just a simple pair of earrings and be ready to go.

Please tell me what you think!

What to Wear : Night Time Wedding

Question
I will be attending a wedding on a Friday evening and I have purchased a grey and black 2 piece outfit. The skirt comes just below the knee. My shoes are closed toe, a soft purple suede. What color pantyhose would look best with this outfit?
thank you for your help,
Doreen

Answer
Hi Doreen
You need to go with a pantyhose color that is the same color as the grey in your suit. What you want to do is create a continuous illusion of the same color from top to bottom.

You could try a grey or an off-black, depending on the color or your skirt.

Try this and let me know what you think.

What to Wear : 21st birthday party

Question
Hello, I have 21st birthday party to attend, I have got a red velvet dress to wear that sits just below the knee, I rarely get dressed up and I am unsure what sort of shoes to wear and unsure to go for a red or black pair. I am 5'3 and a uk size 12

Answer
Hi Anna,
Thank you for your question.

Personally, I prefer matching shoes to the dress. BUT from my experience, red will be quite difficult to match. If you can match them properly, then the red will be perfect. While you are out shopping, bring your dress with you so can hold up your shoe against the fabric of your dress. Wear nude hose with red shoes. Wear neutral jewelry and accessories with this combination. No more red is necessary.

Black, of course, is a nice alternative. Black looks best with deep reds, ruby red, or claret. Also if your hair is black, go with black shoes. Your hair is part of your outfit, too! Wear black hose with black shoes.

If the color of your dress is more of an apple red or tomato red,  you should consider a shoe in a brown tone, such as chocolate or even nude. If your hair is blonde, go with the nude. If your hair is brown, go with a chocolate or tan shoe.

In addition, to shoe color,you will want to match your accessories to your hair color: gold, silver, pearls etc., with blonde hair, bronze or copper colors with brown hair, and black jewelry if you have black hair. If you are wearing a dress with a lot of color, you want to avoid wearing red accessories, as it can be a bit overwhelming. 

So as an example, let's say you have brown hair.
My choice would be:
Red dress
Bronze jewelry and clutch
Tan or cocoa shoes (suede)

I am including a picture of a top with the color I would choose for this ensemble.

Let me know what you think! Also feel free to resend your question with your actual hair color and I will analyse it with your red dress!

What to Wear : Body Type Curvy

Question
I am getting so frustrated.  Every time I find a company that supposedly makes "curvy" pants, they turn out to be for plus-sized women who are not as curvy as I am.  My proportions are 39-30-43 and I'm 5'7".  I realize that technically makes me a pear.  But all advice for pears seems to be geared toward someone with a much smaller bust.  Nothing seems to account for such extreme proportions.  I had pants taken in once.  They were already supposed to be a "woman's" cut but two belt loops actually had to be removed.  I don't think this would work if pockets were involved.  Any advice or guidance in finding clothes that fit (especially pants) would be much appreciated.

Answer
Hi  Jennifer,
Actually you have one  of the most feminine figures, its called the hourglass figure, meaning you have a bust! and before everyone wanted to look like sticks, everyone wanted an hourglass figure. Most of us still want to look like women!

I know it is frustruating looking for clothes for the womanly figure. It seems to me that the sizes in the teens are too small and the sizes over 18 are gigantic.

My suggestion to you: find a good tailor. Have your pants made by a tailor who understands all the various parts of a good pair of pants. For your jeans, you might be able to find  something in a men's style...they usually have many more sizes to choose from. Ever noticed that they have pants that have 2 sizes on them, one for the waist and one for the lenght. Also, men's shirts have two sizes also, for a better fit, one for the neck size and one for the arm size, resulting in 100s of combinations.  Unfortunately, womens wear manufacturers  think we are all shaped the same and therefore the sizes are all the same proportions, as you have noticed.

I hope you can find someone who can make something in a good fit. Have pants made in the neutral colors, biege, tan, off-white, black grey for instance, then your tops will probably not be too hard to match...

Best wishes,
Let me know how this sounds to you!

What to Wear : Shoes with Navy Blue

Question
I bought a sheath-type dress, very form fitting, with a deep v-neck front and back. It comes to the knee and is a navy blue stretchy satin material.  I don't know what color shoes and jewelry to wear.  I have platinum sandals, black peep-toe slingbacks and gold sandals at home.  I am looking for help!  I'm blonde, if that makes a difference.  Thanks!

Hi Maria,
I think you should wear either the platiunum or gold sandals if they will be warm enough in your location, that is.

Your actual  haircolor will be the clincher in this decision. Match your shoes and accessories to the color of your hair, so if your hair is golden blonde go with the gold shoes and if it is ash or baby blonde, go with the platinum.

The reason for this is simple. The fewer colors you wear in an outfit, the more formal you will look. You do want to look dressy, elegant and formal for the wedding. If you go with all one color for your accessories, you will be maximizing your elegance quotient: simple classy and elegant.

Please let  me know if you have any more questions.  Your dress sound absolutely beautiful! Go with a large gold or platinum earring, like a chandelier for the greatest effect!

What to Wear : Color of Eyeliner

Question
i have green-blue eyes.. what colour eyeliner should i go for?

Answer
oh my this one is easy. My eyes are green-blue also.
Your eyeliner should be purple! This will enhance the color even more and you will get so so many compliments.Purple eyeliner may be hard to find, so if this is the case for you here is a tip I can share with you. Make your own eyeliner!

Get some purple eyeshadow,the darker the better. Get a tiny pointed brush. Have a little saucer of water handy. Drop some water into your eyeshadow and swirl it around with your brush...when its the right consistency, brush it on your eyelids right along the lash line.

I do this with my everyday beauty routine using a light brown because my skintone is so light and it works great. The only problem is it is not as permanent as real eyeliner. But on the good side you can just wash it off with water.
Hope this helps

What to Wear : More stylish

Greeting GG FLOWER.Iam 18 years old and i have a problem of contras betwn'the colours of my outfits.i wear cargo&fadad jeans and i want your advice that what shirts or T-shirts should i wear.my girlfriend wears shortjeans & she is so beautiful that my dressingstyle looks way simple.please help me....

Answer
Hi Don,
Thank you for your question. I am a bit confused about your question, but I am assuming you are asking about which color t-shirts to wear with your cargos or jeans?

The best colors to wear would be the best colors for your skin tone and hair, so if you have dark hair, for instance, go with bright or deep colors, like black, navy or yellow-gold, or red, or burgundy or even white.

If you have medium brown hair, wear a medium tone color in your t-shirt, like denim blue, teal, turquoise, red, beige or even grass green.

Maybe you can guess what colors to wear if you have light hair: Sky blue, pale yellow, light green, any color that is soft and muted, gray or cream.

What to Wear : Panic at the Disco

Question
Hello!
Please help! I'm going to see Panic At the Disco soon *Google them if you are unsure of who they are* And I have no idea what to put on. I was thinking you know something dressy but gigs are hot and stuff. What could I put together with this top http://www.asos.com/Chloe-Sevigny/Asos/Eye-Print-Vest/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2...
Thankyou!

Answer
Yeah, that is cool, I like Panic! For your outfit, I would choose these pants, they are striped and would go perfect with your top. If you plan on wearing a jacket over, make sure you add a fabric rose. A floppy hat would be fun.copy and paste this link into your browser.
