Hair Inspiration For Your Wedding Day

Have you chosen your bridal hairstyle for your big day yet? Wedding Ideas’ Editor, Jade Pearson, reveals the hottest hair trends she’s seen in real-life weddings this year…
 

Simple up do

Up dos are the most popular choice for weddings, because they keep your hair out of your face all day, and look super-chic. Some brides with short hair choose to grow it for their wedding for this exact reason. The most popular style right now is the side bun – traditional and oh-so-pretty.

Half-up, half-down

For indecisive brides, choose the half-up, half-down do. This style is perfect for a boho or beach theme. You could add a garland of flowers or secure the hair with autumn foliage for a ‘Maid Marian’ style.

Elegant down do

If you’ve got luscious locks, let them flow. Gorgeous thick waves are bang on trend, complete with just a veil at the back. If you’ve got shorter hair, this may be your only option, but you can buy stunning hair accessories like forehead bands and oversized headbands to make a statement.
