What type of wedding hair styles are you considering for your Smoky Mountain wedding?
I met Monte’ Durham, salon owner and Fashion Director for Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta, at a bridal show years ago. Monte’ Durham asked the brides how many of them planned to wear their hair down for the wedding. Because of the responses, he told us about his trip to Kate Middleton’s royal wedding for TLC.
As Told by Monte’ Durham
“…With TLC, I was switching it up so I attended the royal wedding… so I was one of the ground coverage for the wedding. I was there at the Abbey; I spent the night outside the hotel in the rain trying to get her to say hi to me. The little bobby’s kept pushing me back. I was trying to be a good ol’ southern boy, didn’t know no better (southern accent).
“You mean I can’t get up in there? I just wan’ to say hi ta her come all this way out th’ pond.”
It didn’t work, but I tried. So I was there when she stepped out of the car, and everyone was like, “oh, beautiful.”
Then Pippa stepped out and everyone was like, “Whoa!” She stole the show. We had a replica of Kate Middleton’s dress in the store, and we didn’t sell it once. No one wanted it. Everyone wanted a replica of Pippa’s. Everyone wanted that scoop cowl neck three plaid silk cut on the bias. There was a 75% increase in butt lifts in the UK after Pippa stepped out.
Why Choice of Wedding Hair Styles is Important
Durham mentioned that when Kate Middleton stepped out on the balcony after getting married, her hair was frizzy and the curls were coming out. She still looked beautiful. However, her hair didn’t hold up.
Monte’ recalled, “I was thinking, honey you have all those people up there, why not have them touch you up?”
There was a day when everyone wore their hair up. When considering your hair style, why not wear your hair up, a low messy bun, or another updo so you don’t have to worry about what the weather is doing to your hair.
Humidity and the Smoky Mountains are synonymous. After all, this is really a rain forest! Think about the time of year you are getting married; humidity and rain can cause your hair to frizz.
