The Dallas Post January 27, 1999 “January 27 1999 The Dallas Post Dressed-up tresses are he crowning glory By Sharon Mosley Copley News Service Just who is that coming down the aisle? When it’s your turn to tie the knot, you don’t want your guests guessing if that is really the woman they all know and love hiding behind those troublesome tresses. Instead, your hair on your wed- ding day should be a reflection of your natural beauty -just dressed up a bit. “Hairstyles should command attention with their ingenuity,” says Dayton Mast of L'Image Sa- lons and Spas in Dallas, Texas, “yet remain classic enough to look beautiful in photo albums for. years to come.” Indeed, thisis your day to stand out, says Edward Tricomi of the Warren-Tricomi Salon in New York. “Many women don’t under- stand that the whole wedding dress look is out of the 16th cen- tury,” he says. “It's very much a juxtaposition to modern-day fash- ion. You are in costume on your wedding day. You are performing on your own stage. Your hair should be special, too.” While you should be comfort- able with your hair on the big day, Tricomi suggests taking a differ- ent approach to normal wash- and-wear. “The biggest problem I see is that many women want to wear their hair on their wedding day the same way they wear it every day.” For best results, consult your hairdresser at least six months, if possible, before the wedding. This allows you and your stylist to talk about cut, color and style, as well as experiment with headpieces and veils. If you do want a major change, this gives you plenty of time to try something new and still be recognized by your friends and family, including your fiance. The sophisticated updo is one of both Tricomi’s and Mast’s fa- vorite styles for wedding-day glam- veils » gloves » garters £5 Jewelry RE $$°3 Any Occasion 2 Made on the premises oe SBUll « SD 50% OFF SALE i WE MOVED! | Bridal “I rinkets, Cie. 29 W.

Using new technology and products, "new dos” have all the glamour of the past, but the ease of today’s styl- ing. “This is not about Aunt Bee's banana curls,” says Tricomi. “There may be some retrolooks to hair now, but it's very modern. Hair is not done perfectly in the 90s.” But if there is ever a day when you want your hair as close to perfect as possible, it's your wed- ding day. This year, the best way to shine may be to add some crowning glories - perhaps even a tiara. “There are so many things you can dowith hairaccessories,” says Tricomi. “You can even create a garland filled with branches.” While branching out like this may not be the way you want to be remembered on your wedding day, there are lots of other glittering possibilities, including silver or gold wire headbands and crowns sparkling with rhinestones, rock crystals or Baroque pearls. Jew- eled barrettes, hair sticks and bobby pins are other decorative tress tamers. For long hair, a crown can cap- ture loose ends gathered up and swept back in a twisted ponytail or, for a more regal look, a sleek chignon. Designer Gerald Yosca's hair accessories are perfect for giving wedding hair a royal touch. His “Crowning Glory” collection in- cludes miniature crowns on bar- rettes, bobby pins, hair sticks and ponytail holders. “The inspiration for this collec- tion, “ Yosca says, “comes from full-size, vintage and imperial breaches.” The “Titanic’s” Rose would have adored these. Yosca combines vintage gold and antique silver with colored ’ ~ Austrian and Swarovski crystals in imperial combinations of lav- ender and sapphire, tourmaline and garnet, as well as clear crys- tals. Available in three sizes, de- mure to grand to majestic, each piece is important enough to stand alone or can be clustered together and sprinkled on a French twist or an upswept style for wedding- day glamour. Floral combs also get updated with silk hydrangeas and daisies; and then there are always the “real” garden garlands that circle the head, rimmed with elegant fresh posies. Carlo Vega, a stylist with the Warren-Tricomi Salon, is renown for his signature upsweeps and floral hair arrangements for wed- dings and black-tie parties.
