Wedding Hairstyles for Brides

Have you already chosen your dream wedding dress? Good, if yes. Now is the time for you to decide upon that perfectly suitable wedding hairstyle to compliment your bridal get up. While choosing the appropriate hairstyle, consideration should be given to factors, such as your dress, headgear, veil, season of wedding, theme of the party, your facial structure, and so on. Following are some tips to guide you through:

• Research
First thing to do is a thorough research for hairstyles and stylist. You can use fashion magazines, advertisements, and internet to broad base your research. You can try so many ways that you will be spoilt for choice. From ancient cuts and ties to the most contemporary ones, everything can be looked for.

• Wedding dress
Wedding dresses have a lot of bearing on your hairdo. Their style (ball gown, A-line, mermaid style, or sheath style) and type (formal, semi-formal, or casual) have to be given due consideration. For instance, an up-do for a strapless, halter-neck, or spaghetti would accentuate the shoulder and neckline. Similarly, curled tresses suit the full sleeves with V-neck, or round neck, the best.

• Your hair and you
After considering the probable options according to your wedding gown, begin to shortlist them according to the shape of your face. Not every hairstyle suits every face structure. Therefore, it is essential to understand the face type and choose the best complementing wedding hairstyles. For example, long hair suit round faces and tied up hair on sleek ones.

• Other considerations
Wedding theme is one of the most significant factors influencing the choice of wedding gown and dresses. For instance, a Vintage, or a Fairytale wedding will require a traditional hairdo, whereas, a loose natural hair will be ideal for a beach wedding. The season, hot, humid, spring or winter also has to be taken into account from the point of view of the season specific look and comfort.

• Preparations and trial
Some wedding hairstyles may require some prior trimming, cutting, and shaping, example, curly step-cuts. In addition, it may take some extra preparation to bring your dry, damaged, fizzy, oily, or other types of problem hair in a healthy and shiny condition on the ‘big day.’ It is a good idea to consult your beautician for some trials with makeup and hairdos to get a better idea about the suitability of your choice. Try using your headpiece and veil for the trials to make a near to actual assessment. You can also experiment with colors, streaks, or contemporary styles, such as spikes and twists to mention a couple.

Hairstyle often defines your first look and you would not like to compromise on your glamour on that ‘special’ occasion. So, prepare your wedding hairstyle accordingly!
