6 Wedding Hair Ideas

October 6, 2015

On the big day, my hair was, what some might consider to be, well, a bit on the boring side. Down and parted down the middle with an everyday curl, just as I always wear it. I wanted to feel like myself and I know that my usual signature look is comfortable and photographs well. It was a safe bet, but it was the perfect way to add a casual element to my otherwise fancy attire. No regrets, but since I went for something so basic, I teamed up with my crazy talented wedding hair stylist Nadia Bullock, to create some other bridal hair looks to possibly inspire. And hey, it’s always fun to see what could have been!

There are some absolutely stunning hairstyles below, ones that I know you or your stylist could easily re-create. These are obviously done on very thick, long brunette hair, so if you’re working with a different texture or length, please leave any questions in the comment section below. It’s tough to choose, but the elegant half up is probably my favourite. Next time I get married, I’ll definitely be rocking that look 😉 Which one is your favourite of the bunch?

A Touch Of Glam

If only this headband had suited my dress! I love the appliqué style of this hair accessory and how it takes simple curls and adds that something extra. Would look really great with a plain gown or something with only a hint of beading.

2. Boho Accessories

This gorgeous ‘do would pair perfectly with an ethereal flowing dress. I love the sparkle in the headband, as well as it’s dainty nature. You could even throw this on with a bold lip colour for the reception!

3. Half Up Twist

This slight twist (pun intended) on the classic half up, half down style is such a beautiful choice for a wedding day for any bride or bridesmaid! It’s such a versatile hairstyle too, it would match well with a variety of dress styles. You could always add something extra with some real flowers or sparkly pins!

4. Eye Opening Braid

My only hesitation with keeping my hair all down was that it might, at times, get in the way. I love how a deeper side part and a simple braid can keep the hair out of your eyes and keep your face as the focal point.

5. Elegant Half

We brushed out the curls and matched the braided piece on the other side. We twisted and pinned a few more pieces back to create this unbelievably gorgeous half up, half down style. I love how effortlessly graceful this look is and it was just as striking from the front. Definitely my favourite!

6. Vintage Up-do

I totally picture this one with a tea length dress that has a big skirt and a modest neckline. I love how this up-do turned out, it’s such a beautiful way to keep your hair out of your face but not to look too bridal!
