Best Wedding Hair Styles

The timeless beauty of the Up-do

Whether you’re having a high-drama winter wedding or a relaxed summer day ceremony, the up-do hair style is any brides’ go-to look for instant glamour.  I know that most brides will say that their fiancée’s prefer their hair be worn down, but when do we ever listen to what our guy wants when it comes to fashion?

We dress them, remember?

On your wedding day your picture will be constantly being snapped and you want to look our best from EVERY angle.  So as you plan your best wedding hair style, consider a hair-do that won’t fall in your face or get caught in your lip gloss.  Plan instead on wearing a wedding hair style that shows your face from any angle; a lovely up-do that looks elegant and easy to the untutored eye.  One that is upscale even when your wedding is a simple, lovely, back-yard affair.  Below are three variations that give you very different results on the classic wedding up-do.  Choose a wedding look that you feel is best for you; one that will go with your wedding dress, one that suits your personality, and one that requires zero hair maintenance.  Let a hair professional put all of the work into your hair in advance, so you can look lovely all day long.   If you want to be absolutely sure of the best look for you, have a trial run with your favorite hair stylist and your make-up artist, so you can decide together your best wedding hair style and look.

The Ballerina Bride

The ballerina bun is big, thanks to Natalie Portmans‚ award-winning performance in Black Swan. It takes good bone structure to pull off a classic bun like this but if it suits your facial structure, then the classic beauty of this elegant wedding up-do is a perfect way to showcase a plunging wedding dress neckline, elegant jewelry and your perfect wedding make-up.

The Classic Bride

For a look that is equal in elegance to the ballerina bun, but less severe, you might try framing your face with an on-trend, intricate braid, arranged into a crown shape on your head.  This gives height and volume to your hair. Don’t forget you can always add a faux braid if your hair is short, allowing you to completely change your everyday look to your wedding hair day look!

The Contemporary Bride

For a younger, more dramatic version just tease locks into a modern chignon.  This wedding hair Style gives your hair a relaxed texture and carefree feel even as it adds body – simply secure with a glittering clip to add instant sophistication. This wedding hair style can look retro, a la Marie Antoinette, or very modern, depending upon your wedding dress and bridal accessories.
