All brides want tresses that impress. Here are a variety of looks that offer volume and glamour for a picture-perfect day.
- If you already have long, thick hair, a side-swept wavy look is a gorgeous and effortless look for your big day. For a more structured, Old Hollywood look, add in few bobby pins and a lot of hair spray to keep your side-parted curls looking beautiful all day. Or opt for looser, boho waves for a more casual look.
- If you have hair with a lot of texture, consider wearing your hair in big, natural waves.
- A big side braid is a lovely look that can look either bold or relaxed, depending on how tight or thick of a braid you create. Or try a half-up, half-down braided look for added versatility — your hair looks down, but the half-up part helps protect against frizz and creates more structure to your look.
- Many brides-to-be grown out their hair for the big day so they can create a formal up-do. Voluminous up-dos are a great way to get your hair off your shoulders to show off a unique neckline or help show off stunning earrings or a gorgeous necklace. A classic, simple bun is a timeless style that always looks elegant. If you don’t want to do a high ballerina bun, try a traditional chignon or a lower bun with a deep side part to more easily accommodate a flowing veil.
- Flower crowns look great in long or short hair. Add a lot of greenery or multi-colored flowers for a boho look. Greenery and baby’s breath is classic and ethereal. Or stick with a single color of flowers (such as pink, coral or yellow) in varieties with different textures and shapes such as roses, gardenias, ranunculuses and astilbe.
- If you have shorter hair, there are still a lot of beautiful, timeless styles to try. Finger waves inspired by The Great Gatsby will never go out of style, and they look great with dresses that have a vintage feel.
- If you have short hair but want to make a change without adding length, consider opting for a different texture on your big day. If you normally have straight hair, try a curly do. If you normally sport waves, surprise your guests with a sleek blowout.
- Another great tip for short hair is to let your hair accessories do all the work. Insert a jeweled pin, tuck one large fresh flower near your ear or wear a stunning bridal headpiece, such as a tiara, jeweled headband, comb or fascinator.
