Your hair is your crowning glory. If ever there was time to make the most of a good thing, it is now. Your creativity is limited only by your imagination and the skills of your hairdresser. How do you find the right hairstyle for your wedding day? The same way you found your dress. You do research in brides’ magazines, hairstyle books, on wedding Websites, and search for pictures of wedding hairstyles in image search engines. When you find a few styles you like, take the pictures to your hairdresser. If you start far in advance of your day, you will have plenty of time to experiment with different looks. If you want longer hair, you’ll have time to let it grow. If you don’t like it, you can always have it cut.
Wedding hairstyles range from a more elegant version of your normal hairstyle to something far more elaborate and dramatic. If you are confused by too many choices, ask yourself if your wedding day hairstyle flatters your face, your wedding gown, and your veil. Does it suit you? Does it accentuate you best features and minimize your weak ones? Is it elegant, yet comfortable? Yes? You have found the right style. Remember, when you look at your wedding album right after the event or years down the road, you want to see yourself at your absolute loveliest.
Wedding Hairstyles Tips
Here are some suggestions for working with different kinds of hair to create attractive effects.
- Want to accentuate your neck, Audrey Hepburn style? Try a wedding updo. It can be as simple as a French twist or as elaborate as a mass of individually styled ringlets. On the other hand, if an updo requires a lot of help to stay up, it may not be the best hairstyle for a day when it has to stay put and look great for up to 10 hours.
- Having your hair swept up or back is perfect for evening weddings. It also shows more of your face when your guests are seeing only your profile.
- If you want longer or thicker hair, but don’t have time to grow it, use clip-on extensions and hidden hairpieces to add volume and length to your style.
- If you think you’re limited with short hair, think again. You can dress it up with hair clips, decorative bobby pins, combs, or a tiara. You can select a style from soft and curly to sleek and straight, and anywhere in between. For short hair, a curling iron creates fullness in the crown and back.
- Wavy, textured hair can be done in so many ways, from feminine and sexy to earthy and free spirited.
- Bangs are great for hiding flaws or too much forehead. They can be soft, fringy, angled, or textured. If you’ve never had bangs, experiment with them months in advance, in case you decide they’re not for you. If you’ve always had them, this is not the time to sweep them aside and bare your forehead.
- Long hair can be worn back, braided, or twisted with a fabric that matches your gown.
- Medium-length hair can be curled, straightened, tucked behind your ears, or brushed loosely — perfect for daytime or informal weddings.
Styles change with times, so be sure what you pick is both current and right for you. Something may be “in” but all wrong for you or your dress. Or the style might look good on you but be hopelessly out of vogue.
