Wedding Hair Styles by Hair Artistry
Every bride-to-be wants to look absolutely gorgeous on her special day! So rather than leave your wedding hairstyle to the last minute, it’s important to take your time and spend a few months looking through online wedding hairstyle galleries and hairstyle magazines for ideas and inspiration.
The ideal wedding hairstyle greatly depends on how long your hair is, its texture and your fashion style. Here are some great wedding hairstyle tips and ideas to help you create the perfect look for your big day.
Current Wedding Hairstyle Trends
Today’s wedding hairstyle look is more natural, with wedding hairstyles worn half up and fastened at the back or to the side with a large bejewelled clip. This keeps your hair out of your face and leaves the bottom of your hair long and flowing down, drawing the eye to your beautiful gown.
Wedding Hairstyle Trends 2009 & Beyond…
Topping the list of Wedding Hairstyle Trends for 2009 in Europe is the Parisienne chignon. Perfectly complimenting the HOT new 60’s inspired wedding dress trends, the key to creating this exciting wedding hairstyle look is all about sculpted drama and high end glamour. Picture pop-fashion icons from yesteryear such as Twiggy for inspiration.
Medium to Long Hair
For brides-to-be with long hair, the most popular wedding hairstyle is to wear your down, long and loose, with plenty of volume and romance. This look compliments any wedding dress and any face shape.
The half up, half down style is another popular style that looks fantastic for medium to long hair as it showcases beautiful necklines and sparkling earrings. There are several variations of this style that work for different hair textures and face shapes. The half up, half down style is the best of both worlds and is perfect for the bride-to-be who is undecided as to whether to wear her hair up or down.
For upswept glamour, updo’s are a great alternative.
Straight hair looks stunning in a simple French twist, with a dramatic side part to create a smooth, sleek and stylish look. For wavy or curly hair, a loose upswept style is most flattering. Experiment different styles with your hairdresser to determine whether a side or middle hair part best suits the shape of your face.
Short Hair
For shorter hair consider leaving your hair loose and wavy for a softer look. Short haired brides-to-be with dreams of long flowing hair need not worry – hair extensions are IN! Available in various lengths, colours and styles, hair extensions give volume to thin hair and length to short hair. They can be dyed to match the bride-to-be’s hair, are easy to put in, look and feel natural and will last for months after your honeymoon.
Wedding Hair Accessories
Hair accessories are a great way to add more glamour to your wedding hairstyle. Jewel accents are very stylish, fashionable and very much in vogue. Side swept fringes look stunning fastened by Swarovski clips. Ask your hairstylist to place a few subtle jewel pieces in one section or choose a single larger bejewelled clip for some real sparkle!
Wedding Hair Stylists
Before you even think about what hairstyle is best for you and your special day, ensure you book a professional wedding hairstylist for your big day. Everyone has a hairstylist they visit regularly, however when it comes to your wedding day, engage a hair stylist who has many years experience with wedding hairstyles so you can feel confident that you hair will look great when you leave the salon and throughout the ceremony and reception.
