Destination wedding are romantic and the bride needs a perfect updo to suit!
Destination weddings are fun, exciting and romantic! Just the idea of it is enough for a bride to start planning her ensemble. But, when it comes to getting that final look right, it’s about what’s most comfortable and how your bridal clients pull it off with their look.
Doing brides at a destination wedding needs a lot of planning and being resourceful. Hairstyle choices are affected by the climate which does matter to an extent; if it’s a theme wedding or if the bride has specifications that need extra attention.
StyleSpeak brings you expert insights from Vivek Shyam Bhatia and Kamna Joshi on how to choose the right hairstyles for destination weddings and all that it takes to create that head turning looks.
Climate and Location
While it’s all about the comfort factor when it comes to wedding hairstyles, there’s an array of creative styles these days and the list is growing by the day. Choosing the hairstyle for destination bride is usually done keeping in mind the face shape and the bride’s clothing.
With regard to challenges stylists could face in destination weddings, Vivek Shyam Bhatia, Founder, Mantastic The Barber Shop & Creative Director at Shyam’s Salon & Academy mentions that, “there’s nothing like challenges as such if you’re well equipped with all the right tools, products and a strong team. However, the only challenge could be lack of resources in case you want to get more creative in locations like say a Royal Palace in Rajasthan. Since the climate in that region is usually dry, most hairstyles stay quite intact.”

Products & Tips for Brides
“Products are saviours when it comes to destination weddings. A good moisture cream tames dry hair; a serum or shine spray brings the gloss back; in case of beach styling a dry shampoo or a texture powder works well to keep a good hold even on a greasy day”, adds Vivek.
- Avoid conditioner on the day of the wedding. A good shampoo is enough.
- For a dry location use a liss control cream, constructor spray, and carry an Absolut Repair Serum to keep the hair hydrated and for glossiness.
- For a humid location, Savage Panache Spray or Full Volume are fantastic products for stiffness in the hairstyle and Infineum to keep the hairstyle tight and intact.
- For all weather conditions and seasons, Elnett Spray by L’oreal Professional is a great choice.
