Of all the details of my wedding day, perhaps the one detail that comes in to my mind a little more than the others is my bridal beauty routine. I am so excited to plan the details of my makeup and my hair – even little details like what will my nails look like, or what type of clips will be in my hair? I’m sure most brides can agree with me – exciting thoughts about what you’ll look like on your wedding day can keep your mind entertained for a lonnnnngg time.
I’ve had my hair styled professionally before for various formal high school dances, but never once was I blown away by the up-do. That was probably partly my fault, as I would go to the salon with a vague idea of what I liked or wanted done, but never brought pictures or had any sort of idea how to direct my stylist. To make sure I’m not stuck with a style that is only “okay”, I have been doing lots of research on Pinterest to develop my ideas of what I like and what I don’t.
Here are some of the ideas I’ve found for wedding day hairstyles that have caught my eye:
This hairstyle is absolutely gorgeous, and while the hair clip isn’t exactly what I have in mind – I think it complements this style really well. It also looks pretty simple for a stylist to do, but my only qualm is it looks like it would fall out easily (especially with my long and heavy hair).
Now here’s a style that my long hair could support, even if it looks like this woman has way thicker (and maybe curlier?) hair than I do. I love the traditional hair style that sits at the nape of the neck – it just looks so elegant and timeless.
I’m not so sure I would go with a style entirely like this, but I like the fun side-do and the bun is really pretty. Reduce the poof in back a bit, and subsitute a different clip, and this could be a really pretty bridal style, or really gorgeous for bridesmaids as well.
This is a very elegant hair style that looks like it would stay put all day. However, I don’t have side swept bangs, so if I chose to go with this look it would have to be modified some.
What hairstyle do you like best? And what pictures did you use for inspiration?
