Wedding Hair: Styles To Consider For Your Big Day
All those long-awaited weddings can finally go ahead now restrictions are easing. As salons have been closed for so long, we thought you would like some fresh ideas for wedding hairstyles for 2021 and 2022.
Getting every detail of your marriage ceremony perfect is important whether it’s a simple small scale affair or a glamorous event with all the bells and whistles. And if you've been waiting a long time to tie the knot, it’s important this day is everything you dreamed of and more, starting with your wedding hair.
When it comes to creating the perfect hair for your wedding day, you have essential decisions to make for your bridal look. And these aren’t just about your hair length or colour. Other important things to consider are the theme or style of your big day, what dress you’ll be wearing and what flowers you prefer, as these will all play a part in creating your perfect look.
Understanding all of these elements will help your stylist create the perfect wedding hair that will compliment your dress beautifully, suit the style of your special occasion and make you look fabulous all day long.
So, if you’re still deciding on how you want your hair to look on your wedding day, we’ve put together a list of wedding hairstyle ideas, to help you find the one that’s the ideal for your big day.
Tousled Bridal ‘Down Style’
This is a classic and time-served hairstyle for brides that’s also easy to achieve. The key is a good cut, and not washing your hair on your wedding morning, but the day before instead. This helps to create enough natural oil to tousle and tease hair into a natural, textured look. If you have a simple gown, it’s a super chic wedding option.
The Boho Bride
This is another bridal hairstyle that you could apply the word ‘messy’ too, for all the right reasons. It involves having your hair partially up but allowing curled strands to fall in an enchanting way. It can look spectacular with a floaty lace wedding dress or a gown in bold, non-traditional colours.
Low Chignon Updo
Gathering your hair into a twisted plait or ‘chignon’ gets it out of the way. It also supports a tiara and places your hair elegantly under a veil. Pair this with a slimline wedding gown and some statement earrings, and you have a bridal look with true class and sophistication.
The Halo Braid
This is a stunning option to create pretty, sweet and goddess style wedding looks. It involves two long Dutch braids twisted round in a beautiful halo effect. This would be a great style to showcase the multi-tonal ribbons of colour through your hair, whether that's highlights or balayage. You can even weave in pearls, 'diamonds', or flowers to match your bouquet, too.
The Classic Updo
For traditional and elegant wedding looks, simply gather your hair in a classic bun or French plait. It can be a superb way to support an elaborate veil or tiara too. You may want to leave a few loose strands of hair - straight or gently curled - to frame your gorgeous face!
Short Hair For Brides
You don’t need long hair or classic hairstyles to look beautiful on your big day. A well-cut bob, or shaped and tousled short hair, can look amazing! Especially if you want a natural, low key wedding style.
Adding a Little Extra
In contrast to the above, you may want to go in the opposite direction, and use extensions or style your natural, flowing locks into a regal wedding look. Long waves, cascading curls and some wedding hair bling or flowers can all make you look and feel like a princess for the day.
The Posh Ponytail
For a bridal hairstyle that’s modern and highly individual, you could go for well-cut hair in a statement ponytail. Worn to one-side or straight down your back, you add some extra touches with pearls, diamond-beads or flowers.
How can I experiment with wedding hairstyles?
For longer styles and hair down wedding looks, make sure your hair condition is excellent well in advance of the ceremony. A professional cut can make a massive difference to any tousled or down options too.
Getting your hair in perfect shape for your big day can take some time, so we recommend that you let your stylist know as soon as possible so, together you can start planning and preparing your hair.
It can take several months to grow out unwanted fringes and to get your hair feeling and looking healthy and glossy.
So, if you’ve just started to plan your wedding, now is the time to give one of our specialist wedding hairstyles at one of the Blushes hair salons in Worcester, Cheltenham, Oxford or Cirencester a call. They will be with you all the way to make sure you have the best hair day of your life.
