Your Wedding Hairstyle
Although your wedding day is a day unlike any other, your bridal style shouldn’t stray too far from the personal style you rock everyday. After all, when you look back on your wedding photos decades down the line, you want to look like you , right? That’s why it’s always best to plan your big-day look—from your wedding dress to your makeup —around, well, yourself, and not all the other brides you’ve been following on Instagram.
So, when it comes to your wedding hairstyle , should you let your curls tumble over your shoulders or sweep your tresses into a traditional updo? What about a boho braid, or sleek straightened locks? How do you decide what’s right for you? It’s simple! Just consider your personality type.
Our stylists have to share their hairstyle suggestions for each and every personality type. Whether you consider yourself an ultra-chill, go-with-the-flow bride or a true type-A personality, you can find a wedding hairstyle that’s totally YOU, below.
For The Free-Spirited, Wild-Child Bride…
If you’re all about having a good time and prefer going barefoot to high heels, opt for something loose, undone, and natural. “This can play into a relaxed, messy braid, twists, or really anything that has a low-key look,” “In playing up your free-spirited nature, you can also add flowers to the hair ,” suggests Al Fortier . “But everything should be kept light, flowing, and effortless.”
For The Non-Traditional, Out-of-the-Box Bride…
If breaking the rules is one of your favorite pastimes, you’ll first want to seek out the assistance of our stylist who will get the look you’d like to rock on your wedding day.
For this kind of unconventional hair style, we suggests a fresh take on a vintage style. “Think ’70s-style straight with a middle part, ’20s finger waves, ’40s victory rolls, or ’50s brushed out curls,” she says. “First consider what inspires you and then explore what makes sense for your hair and individual style .”
For The Type-A, Perfectionist Bride…
If you’re the type of bride who’s been imagining every little detail of your wedding since you knew what weddings were, we have a feeling you already know exactly what kind of ‘do works best for you. Our stylists recommend one of two options. The first would be Old Hollywood waves that gently add softness and sophistication to your overall look.
The second would be a classic sleek style, such as a chignon, twist, or a bun . “This is great for a type-A personality, as all of the bride’s hair will be off her face,” says Al Fortier hair stylist at Alistbeauty. “It’s a very polished look, leaving no hair out of place.”
