No matter what time of year your special day is, you want to make sure your hair looks amazing! Our professional stylists at Bella Bronze can help you determine the best hairstyle to complement your dress, your hair length & texture, and even the time of year with the forecasted weather.
We’ve put together some beautiful wedding hairstyle ideas and the best styles to complement any neckline.
Once you get your wedding dress, it’s a good idea to schedule a consultation and share photos of it from every angle of your dress with your Bella Bronze Hairstylist.
They can help you determine which type of hairstyle will go best with the neckline of your dress. You want a hairstyle that complements or showcases the neckline, not one that covers it or overshadows the style of the dress.
Perfect Hairstyles for Your Wedding Dress
Strapless Neckline. This is the most versatile option when it comes to wedding hairstyles. For a formal look, look at a high bun with some face-framing pieces left out. For a more casual look, loose waves or half-up are perfect for a romantic vibe.
High Neckline. You don’t want anything that will add bulk around your neck and take away from the dress. A sleek high or low bun is great for a classic look and a more modern look, ask about a high ponytail or a fishtail braid.
Off the Shoulder Neckline. To keep your hair from interfering with the sleeves or cover up the romantic silhouette of the neckline, consider these styles. A low sleek bun or a messy chignon will softly complement your gown if you prefer an updo. If you’d rather have your hair down, consider a side-swept braid or secure your hair to one side with a delicate hair accessory.
Dramatic Back. The backs of these dresses are meant to be seen so you definitely don’t want to cover the detailing on the back. Any updo will give a formal look, but to elevate your hairstyle, opt for an under-braid style or fishtail. Sweeping your hair to the side with a clip so that it doesn’t block the dramatic back is best for wearing your hair down.
V-neck Neckline. This neckline is meant to elongate the body. Loose curls will complement the long line of this neckline. Add a small pearl or beaded clip for just the right amount of bling. If you want an updo, a half-up, half-down style, or a twist updo will enhance your neckline.
One Shoulder Neckline. This neckline automatically draws attention to your shoulders, so you won’t want a flowing hairstyle that will interfere. Any variation of a side-swept updo will balance the asymmetrical neckline and will bring attention to the one-should strap. Make sure that any updo is swept to the opposite side of your shoulder strap and make sure it’s balanced to the weight of the strap.
Favorite Hairstyles for All Seasons
The Low Chignon. Updos are popular for brides no matter what month of the year your wedding day falls on. The classic chignon bun, styled low on the neck and finished with glistening hair clips or natural, delicate flowers to match the season, is the perfect look for your special day. This romantic look is even more gorgeous with delicate waved tendrils on both sides.
The Messy Bun. While this is a bit more of a casual look, it’s still classy and romantic for your wedding look. It has plenty of volume and that romantic, barely-held-in-place style that looks fabulous with your dress. Although your stylist will ensure that your hair stays in place for the whole day, this is a great hairstyle for colder or windy weather.
The best thing about the messy bun is that it works for lots of different textures, from straight to wavy to tight curls, with each resulting in a unique and beautiful look for your wedding day.
Romantic Twists. Twists create unique textures and classy styling that can be perfect for your wedding day. One choice is the side-ponytail twist, which uses unique knots to add interest to an otherwise simple-looking ponytail, styled to the side and decorated with delicate flowers or ribbons. Your Bella Bronze stylist can show you a variety of twists to choose from for your wedding day look.
The Natural Half-Up. This hairstyle is the perfect compromise between an updo and a flowing style. Your stylist will sweep your hair away from your face into a knot, a ponytail, or just pinned back with a clip while the rest of your hair flows naturally in waves or curls. This is a great hairstyle for clips, flowers, pearls, or even a jeweled tiara that complements your dress as it’s swept back.
Modern Braids. You can do so much with braids in a wedding hairstyle. While crown braids and tight braids are still popular, we’re seeing more boho and fishtail braids for a more modern look. They give a soft romantic look and hold up well in an all-day wedding event that continues well into the night!
