You're not just worried about looks when you pick out a hairstyle for your big day. It's also important to find one that'll be comfortable all day long, goes with the theme of the wedding and the location, and doesn't break your budget. If that sounds intimidating, here are a few tips to help you find the perfect style.
Remember to start early! Find hairstyle photos you like well in advance of the wedding, and begin collecting them. This will give you a starting point that tells you what sort of hairstyle you prefer.
Of course, when you pick out these pictures, you'll want to be realistic. Don't count on a drastic change in color or length right before the wedding. Instead, do these early, or look at styles that are meant for about the same color, cut, and type of hair you have already.
Determining your face shape may help you choose the perfect style. Round faces work well with some styles like high updos and long loose hair, but these don't flatter a longer face. If you're not certain what your face shape is, look at it in the mirror and analyze it.
If you're not finding it easy to decide what your face shape is, measure how wide your jaw, forehead, and cheekbones are, as well as how long your face is. If you're having trouble measuring, trace the outline of your face in a mirror, then measure that drawing.
Women with a forehead and jaw that are the same width, but narrower than their cheekbones have an ideal egg shape. They can wear almost any wedding hairstyle they choose, but should avoid styles that will distort their face shape.
Round faces are about as long as they are wide, and should wear styles that make them look longer. Try a longer style cut below chin length or short styles cut above the chin. Don't wear a short style that's very curly or a long one that's pulled back tightly, however.
Heart shaped faces are narrow-jawed and wide at the forehead. If you have this face shape, try a chin length curled bob, but don't wear your hair slicked back or in a style that's too full at the forehead.
If you have width and length measurements that are all very close to one another, you have a square face. Soften your wedding hair style with layers, or wear long hair past your shoulders. You may be flattered by a side swept fringe, but don't get a geometric cut.
When choosing your wedding hairstyle, be sure to think about your level of comfort. Wear a style that works with the place and style of your wedding, and remember to think about what makes you feel best. If you don't like tight updos or trailing locks, don't wear them to your wedding.
You'll be wearing your wedding hairstyle for hours, so it's important to be comfortable in it. If you can, spend some time before the wedding getting used to the style, so you'll look and feel your best.
Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly popular for brides to opt for wedding hair accessories instead of the classic tiara. Some brides prefer the simplicity and versatility hair accessories offer, whereas others are thankful for an alternative to the tiara for fear of looking too ‘princess-y’. Whatever the reason, the sheer range of hair accessories available provide brides with variety to enhance their style and discover hair jewels to work with every hair type.
Wedding hair pins are one of the most popular hair accessories for brides and, indeed, bridesmaids. Many brides choose to wear their hair up particularly because a neatly styled up-do is guaranteed to remain chic and stylish throughout the day. Although hair styles such as a chignon or French pleat are classic, they often require dressing to soften and to avoid looking too harsh. Wedding hair pins are perfect for such hair styles, adding decadence and subtle sparkle for a timeless look. Popular designs range from butterflies, intricate floral and vintage inspired ornate design and are often set with crystals.
Possibly one of the most versatile of wedding hair accessories, jewelled hair combs suit most hair styles and work with practically all hair types. With such a diverse range of wedding hair combs available, most brides will find a suitable design. A large hair comb can look stunning worn to hold hair up on one side and, with a more informal style, can be particularly suited to beachside weddings whereas a medium sized hair comb is perfect to add sparkle to an up-do or pin up small sections of hair for brides wearing their hair loose. Wedding hair comb designs available include floral, vintage inspired styles, butterfly and petite hair combs. Classic designs are often adorned with crystals and hand-made styles are often beaded.
Wedding head bands adorned with jewels have become a favoured wedding hair accessory for brides preferring a simple and elegant look. Often set with crystal flowers or butterflies, they offer simplistic contemporary style combined with a feminine feel. Particularly popular because of their suitability for all hair lengths, wedding head bands are the perfect answer for short haired brides who are often limited by the choice available. Wedding head bands are often adorned floral, butterfly or bow designs and are usually set with crystals or beads.
Whatever the brides’ style or hair type, it’s safe to say that with a little shopping around, the perfect wedding hair accessory ( ) can be found. It’s important to firstly consider the suitability to hair type and length. This is where a hairdresser’s advice can be invaluable! Once the type of hair accessory is decided, the fun can begin. Remember to take in account the style of wedding dress, colour themes, flowers and time of year - as with every aspect of wedding planning, co-ordinating is the key to success and a beautiful wedding.
