Wedding Hair Tips: Your Guide to Perfect Bridal Hairstyles

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life, and your hairstyle plays a huge role in how you feel and look. From sleek updos to romantic waves, there are endless options when it comes to bridal hair. Here’s our complete guide to help you find the perfect bridal hairstyle that compliments your dress, theme, and personal style.





1. Start Early


  • Begin hair care regime 3-6 months before the wedding


  • Regular trims to maintain healthy hair


  • Deep conditioning treatments for shine and manageability




2. Consider Your Dress and Theme


  • Match hairstyle to your dress neckline and overall wedding theme


  • Updo for high necklines, loose styles for strapless or V-neck dresses


  • Bohemian waves for outdoor weddings, sleek styles for formal affairs






3. Face Shape Matters


  • Oval: Most styles work well


  • Round: Create height at the crown for elongation


  • Square: Soft, romantic styles to soften angles


  • Heart: Half-up, half-down styles to balance proportions





4. Trial Run is Essential


  • Schedule your hair trial / preview with your stylist 3 to 6 months prior to your wedding


  • Bring your veil, hair accessories, and dress photos


  • Take pictures from all angles for reference


5. Prep Your Hair


  • Wash hair the day before for ideal texture - check this with your chosen stylist though, as all stylists will work differently.


  • Use minimal product to avoid weighing hair down


  • Communicate with your stylist about any specific products needed.



6. Accessorise Wisely


  • Choose accessories that compliment your dress and hairstyle


  • Consider a tiara, flowers, hairpins, or a birdcage veil


  • Ensure accessories are securely fastened








7. Weather Considerations


  • Humidity: Use anti-frizz products for outdoor weddings


  • Wind: Opt for more secure styles if it's breezy


  • Rain: Have a backup plan or weatherproof your style




8. Don't Forget the Veil


  • Decide on veil placement (under updo, over low bun, etc.)


  • Ensure it's removable if you plan to take it off later and get your stylist to show someone how to do this.






9. Touch-up Kit


  • Pack bobby pins, mini hairspray, and a small comb


  • Designate a bridesmaid for touch-up duty






10. Be True to Yourself


  • Choose a style that makes you feel confident and beautiful


  • Don't stray too far from your usual look – you want to feel like yourself



Remember, your wedding day hairstyle should make you feel beautiful and confident. It's all about finding the perfect balance between your personal style, dress, and overall wedding vision.
