Without a doubt, wedding hairstyles get a lot of "face time," so to speak. A bride's hairstyle is at the forefront in all of the pictures. Her veil is designed to draw attention to it. The wedding video will display it prominently. It is thus important that you choose a style which will make you look your very best. You also have to make sure that it will withstand all the hugging, kissing, and dancing you will be doing during the ceremony and the reception.
The first rule of choosing a hairstyle for your wedding is making sure that it complements your dress. It should not take all the attention away from your gown. Similarly, it should complement the formal quality of your dress. If your gown is casual, your hair should be as well. Modern dresses call for a sleek look. Princess dresses call for drama and decadence.



Everything about a bride is supposed to shine on her wedding day - and that includes her hair. Straight hair is usually naturally glossy, but it also tends to be rather flyaway. Believe it or not, rubbing a dryer sheet over your hair can take care of this. So can anti static spray. Wavy or curly hair should be conditioned with a moisturizing cream rinse before hand. Shine serums are always a good idea as well.
Now, what do you do if you have short hair? Actually, you can do quite a lot. Shorter hair lends itself well to a variety of glamorous styles. Miniature barrettes can help a lot. So can simply tousling your hair, or using some chic headbands.




Your veil and/or your headpiece also plays a part in choosing your hairstyle. Remember, they have to attach easily. Most importantly, they have to stay on your head. Your hairstyle should not interfere with that. You also have to consider your hair type.
For instance, if your hair is straight and fine, then hairpieces which have wide toothed combs are not going to stay in well. You will need a fine toothed comb. Bobby pins are ideal for curly hair; they can make just about anything stick. Also, you should choose a style which will withstand the removal of your hairpiece without getting all messed up in the process.





Longer hair is both easier and harder to style. It takes some work to get it looking right. Here, you have the option of classic looks, like the French twist. Buns and chignons are always quite chic as well.
You can never underestimate the power of accessories, whether they are barrettes or headbands. Of course, those are hardly the only accessories available. Pearled combs, lovely flower petals, delicate ribbons - all of these can add some elegance and class to your bridal style. The point is, it is really all up to you. What makes you feel beautiful? What complements your dress? You want to feel like a princess on your wedding day, so just make sure you choose what is, for you, the most royal hairstyle possible.
