Styling Hair for Your Wedding Day

Let's consider possibilities for styling your hair for this very special day.

How a bride wears her hair has a lot to do with her personal preferences and whether she naturally has short, medium or long hair, straight or curly hair, etc.

Even so, your hair can be shortened or lengthened (with time or extensions), curled or straightened; done in an up-do or not. However, your hairstyle is also largely cast by other factors such as whether you will have a formal evening wedding or a casual midday affair; a theme wedding or a traditional ethnic or religious wedding.

Since the above factors generally dictate the type of bridal gown you will wear, your hair style, veil and/or other adornments, such as a tiara, must naturally complement the dress. But, even with your dress chosen, you may still choose to show more hair and less tulle or keep much of your hair covered by a rich and flowing veil. And, some brides like to remove the veil after the ceremony while some will wear her veil throughout the entire reception. This is quite a personal decision.
