Summer Wedding Myth - Busted: You have to have an outdoor wedding

If you live in a cooler part of the country where the lush, green months of summer are precious, it may seem like you absolutely must head outside for your summer wedding. But if an outdoor wedding isn't what you've always dreamed of, an indoor space can be just as summery (and much more reliable).

For one, if you're in a super-hot climate, an indoor wedding will be way more comfortable for your guests who are dreading the heat. Beyond that, you can use your creativity and design skills to make an indoor space suit the season. Hang summer lanterns or create a summer flower-strewn indoor aisle, and choose a venue with large windows that let in lots of sunlight (or show off the moonlit night).

People will want to congratulate you on your engagement, and let's be real: A party's a lot more fun than a phone call! It's also a great time to introduce key people from your lives who are going to be seeing a lot of each other (and possibly helping plan your wedding together) over the next year or so.

"It's the first time you’ll have different groups of friends and generations really getting to know each other in a more intimate way," says celebrity wedding planner Jung Lee of Fête NY.

Mistakes Not to Make Before Your Hair Trial

1. Leaving Your Inspiration at Home

When you're meeting with your wedding hairstylist for the first time, keep in mind that since they don't know your personal tastes, you'll need to show and tell. The best way is to gather lots of photos of hairstyles you like from magazines, Pinterest and other sites online. You can even bring pictures of yourself that show the way you want to look—anything that will give them a hint about what kind of style you're seeking.

2. Forgetting to Document It

Speaking of photos, you'll want to snap a few with your phone. Once the stylist starts manipulating your tresses, ask them to take a photo of each finished look from four different angles: front, back and both sides. That way, you'll be able to see how you look from all views, and you'll get an idea of how the stylist's work translates to photographs. If there's one particular style you like, ask them to write down exactly which products and techniques were used. Since a wedding consultation can take place months before your actual event, it's important to keep notes and take pictures so you can both remember what worked.

3. Not Knowing How to Hire

Before you hire a stylist you need to decide a few things: Do you want them to come to you on your wedding day, or would you rather go to the salon? Will they only do you hair or the bridal party's as well? Do you want them to stay with you throughout the day to do touch-ups before the photo session and reception? Discuss these options with your stylist. Of course, how long you hire a professional to stay with you depends on your budget and their time limitations.

Once you've decided whom you're going to hire, hand over a deposit to save the date and request a receipt.

4. Not Clocking It

A great hair day on your wedding day all comes down to timing—which means you'll need to schedule your hair appointment at precisely the right moment. Do it too early and your coif could start to look stale just as the festivities are getting started, but if you start hairstyling too late, you'll feel rushed. During your hair trial run, time how long it takes to get your hair perfect, then allow that amount of time plus a half an hour of leeway.

5. Shrugging Off Important Details

Remember to consider that when the wedding day arrives, you'll probably need to put your undergarments on under your robe, romper or button-front shirt so you'll be ready to slip on your dress when your hair is done and your headpiece and veil are in place. If your stylist is coming to you, set up a place for them next to a low table and sit in a chair with a low back so they'll have easy access to your hair. And make sure there are electrical outlets nearby for appliances like hair dryers, curling irons and electric rollers. If necessary, have an extension cord handy.

6. Feeling Too Scared to Speak Up

If you begin to become alarmed about the way the stylist is handling your tresses, calmly and respectfully suggest an alternative. You need expert help—that's why you hired a professional—but you have to be willing to speak up if you want them to truly achieve the look you want. Trust us—they won't take it personally.
