Bridal hair tips: Dos and Don'ts from celebrity colorist Brad Johns and Avon Salon & Spa in New York City:

• Do color your hair at least seven days before the wedding.

• Do go slightly lighter and brighter, especially around the face, to give a radiating glow.

• Do create a style that is tailored, sculpted and elegant and doesn't require constant upkeep.

• Do consult bridesmaids about their hair styles. One bad "do" can spoil the look.

• Don't make a dramatic change in color before your big day.

• Don't experiment with a choppy, funky or spiky style.

• Don't skimp on highlights
