Hairstyles for Your Wedding

Something all brides struggle with is what to do with their hair - If you have a lovely dropped back of your gown you may not want to cover those details up with long curly hair. We decided to do some research on the top wedding hairstyles and what types of dresses they work best with.

Modern Chignon

Chignon up-dos are popular for all types of dress and necklines.  North Carolina summer weddings can be warmer than other destinations and styling your hair up and off of your neck will keep your temperature a little cooler and the humidity won't let it fall flat and lose its shape. Consider adding a flower or bling to your hairstyle to customize your wedding look!

Sweet & Clean

Doing a lot of dancing and movement on your big day?  Pull your hair clean up and away and lock away those loose ends for a secure hairdo. We love these clean looks when wearing intricate or higher necklines or backs of dresses as to not distract from the beauty of your gown.

Bohemian Braids

If you are looking for a more bohemian or free spirited style we recommend braids! Up, down, or to the side, braids are the perfect way to get that styled messy look that brides are going for. No one will notice if your hair comes out of place with these flowing hairstyles so let loose and twirl that hair!

Waves for Days

 

Let those waves flow! We love loose curls on brides. This classic look works for any wedding season and adds volume to your hair. A vintage headband or hair-comb would add the perfect amount of glitz to these wavy hairstyles.

Next Level Ponytail

Rock that ponytail! Take your ponytail to the next level with these adorable styles. A twisted or braided "illusion headband" is a simple detail that takes a traditional pony up a notch! How about a Princess Jasmine bubble style (as pictured left)? We would love to add glittery hair ties to the look to add a little sparkle!

Short & Cute

Pixie cut or bob? You have more options than you think! A retro suicide roll is a classy look to consider if you rock those short locks! Add some statement hair pieces or jewelry to get that wedding look you always wanted!
