Finding the Right Summer Wedding Hairstyle

If you’re planning on a summer wedding, you’ll want to look your best for this special occasion. The crowning touch on any bridal look is your hairstyle, so you’ll want to choose one that suits your individual personality. With so many beautiful bridal styles out there, it’s hard to choose just one! Here are some of the elements for you to consider when looking for the right bridal hairstyle for your special day.

Hair length. Long hair gives you lots of options for both updo and flowing wedding hairstyles. But even if you don’t have long hair, hair extensions give you the flexibility to try any long hairstyle for your special day! Medium-length hair is great for styles that are pulled back like a low chignon. Short hair can be dressed up for your wedding by using sparkling or floral accessories that make it special for your day.

Hair texture. Natural curl is an advantage for bridal hairstyles, but you can also use styling tools to get the level of curl you need. Many long hair bridal styles are accentuated with flowing, gentle waves for a romantic look, but there are plenty of beautiful looks with tight, bouncy curls. On the other side of the spectrum, straight hair can sometimes be easier to style into complex braids or updos, so there are plenty of options for any hair texture.

The headpiece. Your headpiece can be an especially important part of your wedding day. Whether you’re using an heirloom veil, a new veil or tiara, or a natural headpiece like a floral crown, you’ll want to decide on your headpiece before designing your hairstyle. Bridal hairstyles work around the hairpiece and allow for options in case you want to remove them at the reception.

Coordination. Finally, your wedding hairstyle should coordinate with your outfit as well as the overall style of your wedding and reception. For example, if your dress and décor have a chic, sophisticated feel, a soft, romantic hairstyle might seem out of place. You can also choose accessories that match the floral arrangements in your wedding, including the same types of natural flowers, for a more coordinated look for your wedding photography.
