Wedding Hairstyles: Three Brides, Three Looks

Choosing a wedding hairstyle that suits both you and the theme of your wedding is extremely important. Besides being the icing on the cake, the right wedding hairstyle can be the difference between looking like a polished bride and a mismatched one. Here are three very different and distinctive wedding hairstyles to give you ideas when choosing the right one for you.

The Half Updo Wedding Hairstyle

This is a very popular hairstyle right now and wonderful for a romantic wedding hairstyle look. The stylist also gives some really great information on when to wash your hair, how long it will take to achieve this look in the salon (so book accordingly) and what type of dress this hairstyle suits.

Elegant Wedding Updo

This is perfect for a bride who loves to look totally glamorous on her big day. While this style might be too “done” for some, if your wedding is going to be a very elegant and formal event and your dress reflects that, I think this wedding hairstyle would fit in beautifully.

Beach Wedding Hairstyle

This is the perfect wedding hairstyle for a beach or casual wedding. Please believe me when I say that if you’re getting married on a beach you want to look the part. My niece got married in the Dominican this past winter. Along with about 4 other brides during our two week stay. Some went for the totally formal look and, quite frankly they looked out of place and very uncomfortable.

I opted for a much more relaxed hairstyle when creating my niece’s wedding hairstyle and she looked like the perfect beach bride—and got countless compliments on her hair. If you’re having a beach wedding check out this beautiful yet more casual version of the wedding hairstyle.

So which bride were you or which bride are you planning to be? Romantic, elegant or casual? Tell us in the comments!
