Messy buns and loose hairstyles are ideal for strapless wedding dresses. However, for wedding dresses with sleeves or collars, opting for a more up-do is preferable. If you opt for loose hair, the overlapping of your wedding dress details and hair can create an unsightly effect.
Hairstyles According to Wedding Dress
To be a stunning bride, you must be in complete harmony. Your wedding dress, hair, and makeup should complement each other. You may have chosen a beautiful wedding dress, but the wrong hairstyle can take away from its beauty. Your hair and makeup should complement your gown. A bold hairstyle can overshadow your dress, or an inappropriate style can detract from its striking impact. So, what should your hair be like on the big day? Which hairstyle best suits your wedding dress and venue?
The first thing you should consider when deciding on your hairstyle wedding venue It should be. A tight, crepe bun wouldn't be very flattering at your outdoor wedding. Similarly, you can't look flawless with wildflowers scattered among your loose curls at an indoor wedding. Since you're considering the venue when choosing your wedding dress, your wedding dress style should be your second priority. This way, you can narrow down your hairstyle options and decide on the most suitable style.
Country Wedding
You can complement your flowing, light wedding dress with wildflowers in your hair, perfect for the venue. Weather is a key factor for outdoor weddings. You should also consider the possibility of windy weather. In addition to loose curls, messy buns, and even different braided styles are also suitable. Braided hair looks especially beautiful on Helen-style wedding dresses. It's also wise to avoid hair that looks fresh from the salon, or has been sprayed on.
You can complete your romantic look with a crown made of small, colorful, and vibrant flowers. It's also a good idea to stock up on a hairstyle in case the weather is windy on your wedding day.
Indoor Weddings
Spaces like hotel lounges are places where extravagance can be expected. Therefore, you're likely opting for a long-tailed, puffy, and princess-cut wedding dress. Pair these styles with a bun for a glamorous look. Large, showy crowns can be used as accessories for bun styles. When deciding on your bun style, remember to consider the height difference between you and your partner. If you're the same height or have a slight height difference, it's best to have the bun styled towards the nape of your neck rather than the crown of your head. You can also consult your hairstylist for advice on this matter.
A tight bun, often worn with princess-cut wedding dresses, can be paired with the right tiara for a stunning look. If you and your partner have a small height difference, having the bun at the nape of your neck will help you create a flattering photo as a couple.
Historical Venue Weddings - Retro Wedding Dresses
Vintage, a rising trend in recent years, is also making an impact on weddings. Couples who prefer to marry in venues with a rich texture and a story are choosing their wedding dresses accordingly. It's also worth considering this trend when deciding on the hair and makeup that complement the wedding dress. When we think of retro, finger-waved styles are a perfect fit. Instead of a veil, you can give your guests a glimpse of the '60s with a tulle-detailed hat or elegant hair accessories.
Poolside - Beach - Boat Weddings
Comfort is paramount for weddings held at locations like beaches and boats, favored by adventurous, free-spirited couples. You're likely to be a barefoot bride. Therefore, opt for messy buns and loose hair instead of tight buns and veils. Instead of a veil, you can create a romantic, beautiful bridal look with headbands or flower crowns.
