Classic, timeless, trendy or fashion-forward? You want your wedding day style to complement your overall look, but not something so bold it steals the whole show. For stylish but refined options, check out my favorite staple styles for every length of hair – from braids to waves:
SHORT STRANDS
Less length doesn’t mean fewer options; short locks often have a more elegant appearance and can showcase a flower crown, beaded headband or heirloom hair clip better than any long mess of tresses ever could! Try:
LOW SIDE ROLL
For brides with thin, straight hair and a love of floral hair accessories.
WATERFALL BRAID
If you love sophisticated texture & want to play up a straight ‘do, a waterfall braid is just enough to boost a fresh-cut lob.
TIGHT RINGLETS
Interested in achieving effervescent volume that stays strong long past the final line dance at the reception? Unleash the curls!
MEDIUM MANE
Shoulder-length hair gives you the best of both worlds. You can achieve a large variety styles and work with your hair to make it appear shorter or longer! Go for:
Romantic Chignon
Totally effortless and worry-free, a chignon gives you instant poise and complements absolutely any wedding gown. Small accessories enhance the enchanted look.
SLEEK & CHIC PONY
For the fashion-forward style queen, a sleek, straight pony is a super modern take on a wedding day hairstyle that will look fabulous coming down the runway (oops…aisle!) Love how a straight ponytail showcases an open back or a delicately beaded bodice.
SIDE SWEPT LARGE CURLS
Incredibly glamorous, these large curls pack volume and charm into one super easy style that can liven up lace, long-sleeves or feminine straps.
LONGER LOCKS
Free, flowing & always glowing. Long styles always add a touch of finesse and youth to any wedding day look. With endless length, virtually any style is yours and will look amazing. If you’re loving long hair:
UNKEMPT FISHTAIL
Braids are always in style, but fishtail braids are still relevant in 2016, with the help of added wisps and undone strands. This romantic style begs to be worn for an outdoor ceremony.
SUPER SIZED TOP KNOT
You can’t have your cake and eat it, too? Well you can have your length and still slay an up-do! Bundle your tresses into this heightened top knot fit for any bride-to-be.
BOHO WAVES & BREEZE
Light waves + a simple wraparound crown braid = boho perfection. If you’re wearing a strapless gown, plan a seaside ceremony or envision natural nuptials, you can rest assured that this long style will wow your groom & guests!
