Wedding Hair

There are many details to consider for the Bridal Party (and it is a party!) when settling on the look of the day and hair is one of the major decisions.

For my own wedding, I went for soft, sort of fairy-tale looks. I opted for hair up, and I did love the do, and think it showed off my coloured hair well, but part of me did regret not having my hair down. HOWEVER, I think the dress I chose needed a hair-up do and I was really pleased with the effect. Had I settled on a more bohemian, floaty gown, then big, loose 70s curls would have definitely been appropriate. All my BMs had different styles, depending on preference, but they all incorporated a braid to link them altogether. 

Here are a few looks that I took inspiration from for my big day. Ultimately: think what works best with the style of gown you have, the overall feel of the day, advice from a hairdresser you trust and who listens to you, and, most importantly, what you feel comfortable and beautiful with sitting on top of your head! If you do not like what is going on above your eye line, you are not going to walk down that aisle with the swagger you deserve, so speak up!  


 The year before my wedding, I was a BM for a good friend. We all had amazing 50s hair dos to match our dresses. I was not happy at first, as I thought the stylist had made me look like the bride of Frankenstein (my blonde streak, you can imagine!) I thought I couldn't say anything, as I would be dissing her creation, but ultimately she could tell I didn't feel comfortable, and changed it, and I ended up loving it! 

So, have a few trials, do a bit of research and love the finished product as much as you love your dress!
