Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life, and your hairstyle plays a huge role in how you feel and look. From sleek updos to romantic waves, there are endless options when it comes to bridal hair. Here’s our complete guide to help you find the perfect bridal hairstyle that compliments your dress, theme, and personal style.
1. Start Early
Begin hair care regime 3-6 months before the wedding
Regular trims to maintain healthy hair
Deep conditioning treatments for shine and manageability
2. Consider Your Dress and Theme
Match hairstyle to your dress neckline and overall wedding theme
Updo for high necklines, loose styles for strapless or V-neck dresses
Bohemian waves for outdoor weddings, sleek styles for formal affairs
3. Face Shape Matters
Oval: Most styles work well
Round: Create height at the crown for elongation
Square: Soft, romantic styles to soften angles
Heart: Half-up, half-down styles to balance proportions
4. Trial Run is Essential
Schedule your hair trial / preview with your stylist 3 to 6 months prior to your wedding
Bring your veil, hair accessories, and dress photos
Take pictures from all angles for reference
5. Prep Your Hair
Wash hair the day before for ideal texture - check this with your chosen stylist though, as all stylists will work differently.
Use minimal product to avoid weighing hair down
Communicate with your stylist about any specific products needed.
6. Accessorise Wisely
Choose accessories that compliment your dress and hairstyle
Consider a tiara, flowers, hairpins, or a birdcage veil
Ensure accessories are securely fastened
7. Weather Considerations
Humidity: Use anti-frizz products for outdoor weddings
Wind: Opt for more secure styles if it's breezy
Rain: Have a backup plan or weatherproof your style
8. Don't Forget the Veil
Decide on veil placement (under updo, over low bun, etc.)
Ensure it's removable if you plan to take it off later and get your stylist to show someone how to do this.
9. Touch-up Kit
Pack bobby pins, mini hairspray, and a small comb
Designate a bridesmaid for touch-up duty
10. Be True to Yourself
Choose a style that makes you feel confident and beautiful
Don't stray too far from your usual look – you want to feel like yourself
Remember, your wedding day hairstyle should make you feel beautiful and confident. It's all about finding the perfect balance between your personal style, dress, and overall wedding vision.
