- First, we recommend you embrace your own signature look… you don’t have to stick with a traditional style if it doesn’t suit you. When creating wedding hair styles for a bride it is imperative to look at the dress and the overall silhouette, body type, facial shape and adapt the hair style accordingly. Your Wedding hair style should also compliment the ambiance of the wedding itself.
- If you have a very detailed dress, or one with a collar, the brides hairstyle probably should be kept simple. An up-swept style may be best to avoid snarls and tangles in your hair and dress. A simple dress can support a statement-making , creative hair style. Don ‘t be afraid to add a soft romantic hairstyle to a contemporary, modern wedding gown.
- Up-styles or up-dos are an elegant and fashionable choice, and ideas from the runway or the red carpet can be translated into your version of special event wedding hair. Even if you have short to mid-length hair, a head full of curls with a hair ornament or a head band with rhinestones or pearls can be incorporated to make your bridal hair stand out (see bottom photo).
- Look to the red carpet and fashion runways for inspiration for your wedding hair style. 2012 designers are featuring everything from Retro hair, a Victorian Age look, to 70’s glam. Classic bombshell 30’s finger waves with a very dramatic side part, and intricate, intriguing plaits have also been shown. Hair is voluminous, soft, and romantic, but with a fresh added texture. Texture is limitless, from twists to loops, with emphasis on polished texture, but not an unfinished look.
- Braids are incredibly versatile and are always a favorite hair style for brides. Braids can be both bohemian or contemporary with intricate shapes and designs. There are many ways to incorporate a braid into a wedding hairstyle , from an asymmetrical braided chignon or bun, to an elegant fishtail head band.
