Wedding hair styles play a big role for every bride. As little girls we all dream and fantasize about the day when we can truly shine as princesses; our wedding day. So, when choosing your bridal hair do, consider the entire picture, which includes a style that fits the theme of your wedding and is cohesive with the rest of your look. Consider princess rhinestone and pearl tiaras, wedding tiara headbands, bridal tiara crowns, crystal and pearl tiara combs, wedding combs and rhinestone and pearl hairpins to complete your theme. When you’ve come up with a theme, i.e. classic, contemporary, casual, etc., discuss your plans with your hairdresser. He or she can suggest hairstyles that will complement the theme you’d like to achieve. |

Types of bridal hair styles
Bridal Hair Styles: Classic Updo
Sophisticated updos are always a popular choice, with curls and twists providing a desired bridal look, especially for more formal weddings. This style is best for hair that is medium in length (chin length or longer) and is straight and medium to thick. If you have fine hair you might be able to create the updo by using a pin-on ponytail or add-on extension.
Bridal Hair Styles: Modern Updo
The modern updo takes the very formal classic updo and adds a softer, more romantic look. This tousled style can be achieved with hair of all lengths and textures using tiaras, combs, or hairpins. A good hairdresser always helps too!
Bridal Hair Styles: Leaving it Long
Another popular trend is to wear your hair down in a sleek shiny look - straight or with romantic curls. Pull your hair half back in a "half-updo" for a more formal look. A classic headband style tiara may be chosen for simple elegance, while many brides choose just a veil. A traditional bridal look can be achieved by combining a graceful tiara or headband with an elegant shimmering veil. The veil can be easily removed after the ceremony for a less formal look.
Bridal Hair Styles: Short Styles
Brides with short hair used to struggle with elegant and creative wedding day hairstyles, but no longer! Fun, sophisticated and unique looks can be achieved with the help of some simple accessories. Short hair looks stunning in a soft bob that is highlighted with a tiara, headband, or jewelled barrette. A beautiful and timeless look for short bridal hair is hair that is accentuated with well placed finger or Marcel type of waves.
Bridal Hair Styles: Curly and Wavy Hair
Brides and attendants with naturally curly or wavy hair can adopt any style. In some cases, they will need to temporarily straighten their curls first in order to re-create the look. The Double Asian Knot and Simply Elegant Updo could also be created, in a modified form without any special straightening for naturally curly hair. |

Tips for choosing your hair style for your wedding day
Find your hair stylist
Find a hair stylist that you feel comfortable with. If you can trust the stylist to cut your hair and feel good when you leave and love going back . . . this is your maker.
Do the research
Research is the key to wedding hair style success. Search the internet and magazines to find the wedding hair style that best suits your hair, face shape, and dress. Talk it over with your stylist and make sure that you are not striving for the impossible. Find hair styles that will make you look great but still make you look like ‘you’.
Practice makes perfect
It is best to book a practice hair appointment about a month before your wedding day. This appointment should correspond with a dress fitting afterwards. A practice run leaves nothing to chance. Make sure you wear your hair style the whole day and take a few photos of the front and back.
Relieve the tension
Take a day for yourself the day before the wedding day. Make an appointment to have a head and body massage. An up-do wedding hair style, or set causes a lot of tension on the head and hair and you have a whole day in one tomorrow. The best results come when everything is at ease. The night before your wedding wash your hair with a cleansing shampoo, and work in a light weight volume mousse. |
