Blunt and straight can work for almost any wedding. I would select this hairstyle for a wedding dress that was over the top with simple hair and awesome accessories you will definitely be a knock out. See below on how you can achieve this style.

Loose Curls with Hairstylist Nikki Wright

Happy Wednesday Budget Brides!!!

Here's the third installment of a great wedding day hair look from celebrity stylist Nikki Wright. These loose curls shown below on Tia Mowry-Hardrict are simple beautiful and sexy for the right wedding. Below you will find just how this look is achieved.

Products needed:
Butterfly clips
Comb
1/4 Inch Barrel Curling Iron
White Sands Liquid Texture Soft Hold Thermal Styling Spray
Tancho Stick
Oil

First, section the hair in halves by using butterfly clips to secure. Then, spray each curl with White Sands Liquid Texture Soft Hold Thermal Styling Spray. Section hair once again but this time horizontally, curling hair back and away from the face. Clip the curls so that it cools and sets with direction. Then, finger threw the style for body and movement. Use an oil to tame unwanted flyaways and the Tancho Stick for smooth edges.

"For this variation on Tia's curly hair above, the same products are needed. But, this style is approached in a different way," reveals Nikki Wright. "For this particular look, all curls are done on base (not curled back as on previous looks)."

An Non Traditional Dress

Happy Wednesday Budget Brides!!!


Not sure if your a fan of the Real Housewives Series, but I love all the foolish and fakery. Below is Cynthia Baliey and her new husband Peter Thomas on their wedding day. I absolutely love her wedding dress and but I am definitely not sure about the color. I understand that she was going for a non traditional wedding but the verdict is still out.

See Pics and more below.

One thing I can say is depending on what type of non traditional dress you get you can save a boat load of cash on your wedding day attire. You can find an amazing dress in your local department store (I LOVE the formal dresses at Nordstrom.com) or even rent a dress from a business like Rent the Runway.

So Budget Brides, what do you think about a non traditional color for your wedding dress? Would this work for you?
