Destination Wedding Hair in Florida: What to Know Before You Fly In

Palm Beach hosts a particular kind of bride: the one who lives somewhere else. She is planning a wedding from New York or Chicago or London, choosing vendors she cannot meet, and hoping the whole thing comes together in the Florida humidity. If that is you, here is the guide I wish every out-of-town bride received.

Book by video, not vibes. A fifteen-minute video call replaces what locals get from a coffee meeting — you see the artist, the work, and the way they talk about hair. Bring your photos, your venue, your date. The good artists make this easy; the unavailable ones tell you everything you need to know.

Time the trips. Most destination brides visit twice: a planning trip and the wedding week. Put the preview on the planning trip — six to ten weeks out is ideal — and the style is proven weeks before the day. If there is no planning trip, we build the preview into the wedding week, a day or two before, which works beautifully with a plan made in advance.

Hair travels worse than you think. Color especially: never fly in and color your hair the week of the wedding — book color at home, two or more weeks out, with your regular colorist. What should happen in Florida week: the preview, a softening keratin touch if discussed ahead, and the styling itself. What should not: anything experimental.

The humidity clause: Florida air is a styling input, not an obstacle. A stylist who works here year-round builds for it — grip, structure, and styles chosen to look better in warm air, not despite it. Ask any artist you interview what they do differently for a beach ceremony in July; the answer separates the locals from the imports.
