Finding the Right Bridal Hairstyle For Your Big Day

When planning your wedding there are so many things to think about. The venue, the guest list, the dress, the bridesmaids, the food and much more all need to be planned out to create the perfect day. As a bride you of course want to look your best, after all you are the focus of attention and it is the day of your life that you have been looking forward to since you were a little girl! So many brides worry about their hair on their big day but you don't have to worry, just follow these simple tips and you too can look fabulous on your wedding day!

When choosing the right bridal hairstyle there is lots of things to consider. Your hairstyle will not only have to suit your face shape and your style but also compliment your dress, your veil, your shoes, the colour scheme of your wedding and the overall ambience of the wedding itself. The good news is there are lots of bridal hairstyles to choose from, you can opt for something classic or something more up-to-date it all depends on your own personal taste. Practically any hairstyle can be categorised as a bridal hairstyle, from complicated updos to flowing loose locks so you really do have a lot of options.

So where do you start? Deciding on your wedding hairstyle will come after you have chosen your dress and accessories and once you have planned your colour theme and flowers. Once you have these things decided it will make it a lot easier to decide how to have your hair. The biggest decision regarding your bridal hairstyle is whether to have your hair up or down. This will depend on a range of factors, from your face shape to your dress to the location of your wedding. If you are getting married in a humid destination then you may want to consider wearing your hair up so that if it does turn frizzy at least no-one will be able to see!

Your personality and personal style will have a big impact on your wedding hairstyle, for example if you are the sort of girl who wants all attention on them and love to look glamorous then you might want a higher, fuller, curlier generally bigger statement type of hairstyle. If you are more into simple beauty then you may feel more comfortable sporting a lower, simpler and less detailed type of hairstyle.

You want your bridal hairstyle to compliment your facial structure so that you can look and feel your best. Keep in mind if you have a small or a big forehead then you should try a sweeping fringe. Or if you have a square jaw line, then you can use your hair to soften your look by leaving some soft tendrils around the face to soften any strong lines. And if your face is long and lean you should avoid a high updo as this can elongate your face even more.

You want your hairstyle to compliment your dress as well so once you have chosen the perfect gown you can start thinking of how to wear your hair. If you have gone for an all out glamour, princess ball gown then you should compliment it with an equally glamorous high updo. If your dress has a lot of detail on it then keep it simple with romantic soft curls and no hair accessories. For a vintage gown again keep it simple and elegant with thick neat curls. If you decide to go for a strapless gown then try a style that is half up and half down with curls and for a halter neck gown show off those shoulders by wearing your hair up and off your back.

The most important thing to creating a beautiful look for your special day is to keep your hair in good condition in the run up to the wedding. Make sure you go for regular trims and make sure that if you colour your hair it is in tip top condition.
