Living Proof Tells us "How to Have the Perfect Wedding-Rain or Shine

We all want to get married on a perfect day—the sun is shining, a cloudless sky, a warm breeze—but what can you do if you see rain in the forecast?  This past weekend, one of the Living Proof employees attended a wedding that was supposed to take place outdoors in a beautiful botanical garden but instead it was moved inside due to inclement weather. What’s a bride to do?

Here’s the Living Proof line of defense!

1. First and foremost, make sure you have your hairstylist use Living Proof’s No Frizz line when washing and styling your hair so it’s protected with our patented PolyfluoroEster technology. No Frizz coats each strand with a shield that blocks humidity without leaving an oily, greasy residue.  

Tip #1: Always discuss an emergency “back up” hairstyle with your stylist so if it does rain you you won’t feel panicked or unprepared.

Tip #2: Updo’s are preferable on rainy days since any type of “damage” is less noticeable.  If you’re planning for an up do, wash your hair the day before the wedding rather than the day of the wedding. Just-washed hair is more difficult to style since there is less grip and tack.

2. Once your hair is styled, liberally spray the style with Living Proof Hold Flexible Hairspray. The more you layer it on, the stronger the hold. Make sure to have a bridesmaid keep a travel size Hold hairspray with her so you can touch-up later on during the night, particularly the time between the ceremony and the reception.

  Tip: Your guests might also want to touch up their styles throughout the night. Offer No Frizz Restyling Spray and Hold Flexible Hairspray in the bathroom at your venue.

 3. If you have enough time, order umbrellas in colors that match your wedding theme.  That way you’ll protect yourself, your wedding party, and turn a messy situation into a fun one!

More than anything make the best of a rainy situation and keep a smile on your face! A good attitude will keep the clouds at bay in any type of weather!
