How to Choose a Hairstyle for a Teenager in the Wedding Party

Many brides and grooms want to involve as many people in their wedding as possible. When there is a teenager involved, things can sometimes get tricky. Here are a few steps that will help you to choose a hairstyle for a teenager in the wedding party.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Internet
• Magazines
• Newspapers
• Stylist

1. Determine what the teen will be wearing in the wedding. Keep a picture handy when choosing hairstyles.
2. Find ideas and examples in magazines, newspapers, and the Internet. Be sure to cut or print out the ones you like and keep them together.
3. Consult your stylist with any questions or concerns you may have. Take their professional advice into account when you are decision-making.
4. Talk with the teen and their parents about your ideas, concerns or questions. Their input can be crucial, and after all, you want them to be happy too.
5. Discuss the topic with friends and family members, especially those who have teenagers or who have had teenagers in their wedding. See what has worked for them in the past.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep in mind the age of the teen when you are choosing hairstyles. Some hairstyles may seem too mature for a younger person and may need to be modified for the teenage set.
• Consider letting them decide what style they would like with a few minor parameters (such as putting it all up, etc). You may be pleasantly surprised as to what they come up with.
• Know the limits of the parents. If they don’t want their teen getting highlights, don’t insist the teen have it done.
• Teenagers are usually quite protective of their hair. Don’t force a haircut on them in order to participate in your nuptials. They may end up unhappy with you (or their parents) or in the worst case, choose not to participate. Always be reasonable.
