Wedding Hair Styles

So, how will you have that perfect wedding hair style? Below are some helpful tips:

1. Hair Length

The length of the hair seems to be the common problem of brides when trying to choose a hairstyle with there being certain limitations that can crop up, especially for those with extreme lengths (both short and long).

If your hair is short and you don't want to settle with the typical brushed up or pinned hairstyle, you can have hair extensions as alternatives. These will give you the chance to style your hair freely, any way you want it. Simply ensure that the colour of the extension you'd use is the same as the colour of your real hair.

On the other end, if your hair is extraordinary long or thick, but sure to discuss with your hair stylist on how they can ‘hide’ the hair, smoothing it down to create a flawless look.

2. Keep with the theme

If you are truly at a loss of what hair style to go for, simply look to your dress for inspiration. If your dress is a strapless, formal gown then you should compliment it by having an up do that further enhances the bodice neckline. Whereas if you have a soft, lace dress of mid-length, then hair down and loose would be highly appropriate.

It's important that the hairstyle you choose matches everything you wear from your gown to your shoes, and to all the wedding accessories you have on your body.

3. Consider Hair Accessories
Be creative on your wedding day by wearing additional wedding hair accessory with there being quite a range available to add interest to your hair from tiaras, crowns, combs, hairpins, and headbands.  Use these pieces to add shine or volume to your hair, enhancing the style of the dress and your accompanying jewellery.

Wedding Hair Styles

Unsure on what hairstyle you'll have on your wedding day? Looking at bridal magazines or asking professional hairdressers for wedding hair style pictures could help you decide what hairstyle fits you best. Yet having a basic understanding of the different styles can help you to eliminate those that would not suit and narrow down your list of options.

Half Up, Half Down
This is the usual hairstyle brides opt to have because it's simple and hassle-free to do. Only half of the hair is pinned, clipped, or tied. You can do a lot of add-ons to this hairstyle to complement your wedding make up and gown neckline. The laid-down part of the hair can be curled or left straightened depending on the bride and the formalness of the ceremony.

The Laid Down
Rising in popularity for more relaxed ceremonies, the laid-down hairstyle (or simply ‘leave out’ hair) is a great way to achieve casual elegance and style.  Suitable for straightened hair or loose curls, the laid-down hair style is appealing and elegant in its simplicity. You can also add any wedding hair accessory for a touch of glamour or added interest.

The Up Do
A classic style choice that is a versatile and varied as the wedding ceremony theme can be itself, the Up-Do is a classic style that can be modified to reflect the style and personality of the bride while also suiting the gown and wedding theme.
