[dropcap]W[/dropcap]eddings have warmed hearts for centuries, and brides have and continue to evolve in style. While most brides want their wedding day to be perfect, focusing too much on perfection can fog her creative lens. Whether the bride seeks a vintage look or a modern one, she can surely find a style she likes and make it her own.
Choose classic or modern style
Dare to redefine a classic style with a modern twist. The updo, for example, is a style that looks more modern without tiaras or other adorning accessories. Another twist is to add braids along the sides if the style is side-swept. For a bold short-haired look, try a Chanel style with a veil. The spicy hairstyle will simmer a bit when the veil softens this look! Simple short hairstyles also work well for a modern feel. Consider letting a veil flow almost as an extension of the hairstyle. The result will be an elegant present-day look worth cherishing. Simple flowers accent the short hair of brides.
For modern styles, there is no shortage of braids for your special day. The fishtail braid will send your spirit swimming with joy! Accent this braid with baby’s breath or the flowers of your choice for a truly unique fishtail. If detailed braids aren’t your taste, a long simple braid that sits over the shoulder might be a better fit. Another popular braid is the waterfall braid. This style allows petite sections of hair to “waterfall” along the side (or sides) of your head. They are an organic accessory to your hairstyle and accentuate long hair with bold beauty.
Besides braids, another sophisticated long hairstyle is the half-up, half-down style. Half-up, half-down styles spell timeless elegance. Adorn this style with jewels, pins, or flowers for a unique modern look. You can also swoop the sides of the half-up section for an extra touch of style.
Length matter
Some styles truly have survived the test of time. Try pairing short hair with a small veil to recreate a style that echoes the class and elegance of the 1950s. You can also wear medium-length hair straight and set under a veil for a timeless 1940s coiffure. Chignons are another classy option. This style works well with pretty accessories like bejeweled clips.
Long veils add gracefulness and boldness to bridal style. Chapel or cathedral veils fall the ground and appear to follow the bride. Although a lovely length, these veils require boldness to wear because of their prominence. They’re difficult to miss, but that is a plus because the bride’s style should be noticed. This is a special day for her and the groom-to-be—not a time to fly under-the-radar.
Show your personality
Flowered crowns can define the style’s uniqueness. For a bold crown, choose one with oversized white roses. This crown will add boldness to any simple style. Show your artistic side by weaving a flower crown into an updo. White flowers work well because they represent purity, make the bride appear angelic, and—of course—match the dress! Baby’s breath is a popular flower for crowns because it looks beautiful when paired with other flowers or on its own. If not white flowers, bold colors work well too. Think of red roses, purple and yellow flowers too. Don’t be afraid to experiment with flowers in your wedding hairstyle.
When it comes to choosing a hairdo, brides have many options. From vintage updos to the now-popular fishtail braids, any bride should be able to find a style that she loves. Whatever she chooses, she should always remember that this is her special day. Be bold. Be stylish. Be the bride.
