Updo Wedding Hairstyles

It should look as though you could remove a few pins and let it tumble over your shoulders in a sexy cascade (even if it is really held together by fifty pins and a whole can of hairspray!)

Forget the Bangs
My cousin, Vanessa, chose one of the softer updo wedding hairstyles to compliment her gown, veil and bridal jewelry. And in keeping with today's styles, her hair is swept away from the face.

Bangs are something you don't often see in today's wedding magazines, especially the kind that are cut straight across the forehead.

If your wedding is at least a few months away, that should be enough time to grow out your bangs long enough so that your stylist can sweep them off to one side for a fresh and current look.

Relax
Relaxed waves are the order of the day; pin straight hair is not today's look. If you want to wear your hair down for your wedding day, loose waves can be done in a few different ways.

They can be beachy and a little messy, or smooth and elegant, with just the right amount of movement.

For cascading waves, a pretty pearl comb is the ideal bridal jewelry for your hair.

The Knot
The most trendy updo wedding hairstyles today involve pulling the hair back into some sort of knot or bun. From there that you see many variations. Like natural waves, these are loose knots, not tight ballerina buns or pristine chignons.

They should look a little like you just pulled the hair back yourself in a hurry (only in the hands of a good stylist the knot will still look artfully done). Allow a few tendrils of hair to spring free around your face.

Braids
Create very romantic long hairstyle with braids. Not two perfect braids or the ubiquitous French braids of the 1980s.

Today's braids are not prim or schoolgirlish; they are flirty, soft, and vintage inspired. One long loose braid in the back is a pretty option for a romantic hairstyle.

Even more interesting are the intricate knots and buns that stylists are creating by twisting braids together at the nape of the neck.

For your bridal hair jewelry, finish the look with a scattering of beautiful crystal or pearl pins tucked into the knot.

Your wedding day hairstyle should definitely complement your gown, as well as bring out the natural beauty of your face.
