This may not seem like a difficult decision, but your wedding hairstyle will impact your entire day-of look. So it’s kind of a big deal.
And whether you go classic and chic or romantic and whimsical, your wedding hairstyle needs to last. After all, you’ll be in the spotlight for about 8 hours. And you don’t want your wedding photos to document the slow dishevelment of your up-do. So it’s time to hit the salon! The best way to decide which look is best for you is to practice it. Chat with your stylist and try a few different styles to see how they survive your daily routine.
And the biggest question you need to answer is up…or down? If you love the look of free flowing locks but know your hair will be totally flat as soon as the ceremony ends, compromise with a half-up/half-down style! Or if you’re trying to tame your wild mane, a smooth ballerina bun adds just the right amount of elegance and grace. Just have fun with it! We’ve gathered some of our favorite wedding day looks to inspire you below!
