On the wedding day, every girl wants to look irresistible, regardless of how large the celebration will be. One of the main details of the image of the bride is her hairstyle, which should complete the whole image, because along with the dress it is a very noticeable detail.
Features
To date, various salons and individual professionals are ready to do real miracles with the girls' hair. They are dyed and discolored, natural and artificial fibers are woven into them, complex designs with various accessories are assembled. The hairstyle is selected according to various criteria, starting from the shape of the face and ending with the style of the ceremony itself.
It is equally important to remember about convenience: the design, assembled on her head, should not only please the bride, but also be comfortable and quite strong. Often, a wedding ceremony and subsequent banquet lasts more than 6-8 hours, and all this time the newlyweds are not just sitting in their places. Various contests and congratulations, the launch of fireworks and active dances - hair styling should withstand the entire program of the holiday, not to crumble and not cause inconvenience.
The sooner every little thing is thought out, the calmer the girl will feel on the eve of such an important date. You can study network portals and fashion magazines, learn about the trends and news of wedding fashion. It is better to do a small “rehearsal” of the hairstyle with the specialist who will be engaged in the image on the wedding day.In addition, long before the event, it is necessary to take care of the health of the hair, its coloring and, if necessary, extension.
A good specialist can advise the appropriate shade, length and shape of the hairstyle, suitable for each particular girl.
Options for collected strands
There are two large groups of wedding hairstyles for long and medium hair with assembled or semi-assembled strands. In the first case, a hairstyle is made with weaving various braids, and in the second case, a high or low bun is twisted and chopped. In this case, any of these two options can be given individuality and charm due to the technique of execution, the size of the element or its shape.
Braids
A braid-shaped wedding hairstyle is very different from classic school styling. Those who consider such styling boring, most likely, did not see the real French braid in a wedding style, flowing down the back of the bride with an openwork hair waterfall. One of the main rules of a wedding braid is light, relaxed or even fluffy locks, and not tight, strict lines.
To give more volume to the hairstyle, you can pre-curl and comb the locks. In addition, often use additional artificial hair, not only a natural shade, but also in contrasting colors.
Wedding Greek braids, made to the side, remain in fashion for a long time. Often they are shaped like a high tail made on the crown and entwined with many curled curls and small braids. Complex braids of 5-6 or more strands also look elegant. In their interweaving various hairpins, pearls and other jewelry will be comfortably placed.
A bunch
A wedding bun is considered the most classic hairstyle for such a gala day. It can be high or low, smooth or divided into clear locks. The bundle can be wrapped both in the form of an ordinary cone, decorated with individual curling strands, and in the form of a shell decorated with various decorative elements. One of the main advantages of such a hairstyle is the convenience of attaching a veil, even if it is quite long and heavy.
You should not be limited to one element in a festive styling, you can combine, for example, a bunch with a scythe, decorate it with flowers or stones, weave ribbons and lace.
The bundle is practically not felt by the bride herself and does not interfere with her throughout the day. The main thing is that it be securely fixed with varnish and invisible. Another of the significant advantages of such a wedding styling is its simplicity. A simple bundle for a modest celebration can be done at home with your own hands. To do this, you can find many step-by-step instructions on the network. To make a simple but elegant braid that turns into a small knot, the following steps are required:
- divide the hair into three parts, separating the side zones;
- from two lateral parts to braid tight braids and slightly stretch them with your fingers so that they look more delicate;
- tighten the rest of the hair with an elastic band so that it is not at the roots of the hair, but near their ends;
- then twist the middle part with a small roller towards the head and pin with studs or invisible;
- lay the side braids on top of the roller attachment and hide the ends under it, stab everything with invisibility and fix with varnish;
- you can decorate the finished hairstyle with accessories or attach a small veil to it.
Important! If the hair is very fluffy and crumble, before styling, you can lightly sprinkle them with water or wax with styling.
Styling with loose curls
In recent years, not complicated wedding hairstyles with a lot of varnish and invisibility, which can dig into the scalp and even hurt it, have become increasingly popular, but ordinary styling. Of course, they differ from simple daily styling in their splendor and complexity, the presence of many decorative elements and extended strands. Large curls are perfect for happy owners of thick hair any shade, from the black of the black wing to the ashen blond. However, it is worth remembering that on blond hair, this styling looks more neat and natural than on dark hair. It is better for owners of thin hair to dwell on small and medium-sized curls, which the master will slightly fluff and beat.
In addition, you can attach additional artificial strands that are already curled, or purchase more expensive natural locks that curl together with "native" hair.
For small and structural curls, you can use ordinary curlers of small diameter or thermal curlers. The latter will make the curling procedure easier and much shorter in time. If you want free soft curls, you can use an iron to smooth your hair. The strand is wound around the heating plates and stretched through them at an angle. Such curls look more natural and will allow you to avoid creases at the hair roots, which are often obtained from the use of even the most modern curlers.
Ideas with bangs
Owners of haircuts with bangs will have to more carefully choose the idea of a wedding hairstyle, since this element will not suit any style. The fringe itself attracts quite a lot of attention, it frames and emphasizes the oval of the face and eyes. However, it can be laid in only two ways.
- Leave it straight. This option is perfect for those who plan to do a hairstyle in retro style. It can be smooth bunches made both in the center and on the side of the head. It can be clear waves of curls that fit tightly and do not fluff.
- Lay her to one side. This option is more suitable for loose and fluffy hairstyles with curls and curls.
Long bangs do not need excessive decor, do not hang large jewelry on it or fill it with clamps too much. It will be enough to decorate the rest of the hair.
If a girl does not have experience in wearing a haircut with a bang, do not experiment, especially on the eve of such an important event. It is best to leave such a sharp change of image for a more relaxed time.
Ways to use accessories
One of the traditional accessories for a wedding hairstyle has long been and remains a veil to this day. This can be a long and heavy lace that stretches in a train after the bride’s dress, or it can be a small hat with a veil covering only part of the face of a young wife. In any case, such a traditional way to decorate the bride's hairstyle for many years will not go out of fashion.
In addition to veils, various ribbons and beads can be placed on the hairsparkling stones and iridescent hairpins. It can be studs with small or large pearls, compositions from fresh and artificial flowers and even feathers of exotic birds - it all depends on the wishes of the client of the salon or the master.
Diadem
One of the oldest decorations for a wedding hairstyle, ready to argue for its popularity even with a classic veil, is a small crown or tiara. Of course, the most desirable option for any bride will be jewelry made of precious metals and stones, which will emphasize the innocence and purity of the girl. However, such tiaras cost large sums and are rarely used in ordinary family celebrations. Nevertheless, you can buy a small silver-plated diadem with cubic zirconia or even just a metal hoop with artificial lenses. The main thing is relevance and combination with a hairstyle.
The following recommendations should be taken into account:
- this decoration is quite independent and does not require other decorative elements; a crown, like a queen - there can be only one;
- this decor looks good on smooth bunches and on curly curls, but it will not work for short hair or small curls;
- do not forget about the combination of the diadem with the bride’s dress itself - a massive crown will look very strange in combination with a short flared dress with high waist and, conversely, a thin, almost weightless hoop will be lost against the background of a lush and heavy lace or tulle skirt.
Flowers
An equally popular technique for decorating ceremonial styling is their addition with natural or artificial flowers. It can be either individual buds or wide wreaths with different varieties and color of plants. Of course, it is best to dwell on artificial buds, since now the craftswomen make them in such a way that they are practically indistinguishable from natural ones. This is due to the fact that such decorative elements do not fade even during the most intense heat or severe frost. They will hold out in their original form the whole festive day until the deepest night.
In addition, during late spring, summer or early autumn, the scent of fresh flowers can attract unnecessary attention of various insects, which will lead to unpleasant consequences.
Flowers are a less whimsical accessory than a veil or diademTherefore, it is much easier to combine with the dress and the style of the ceremony. Nevertheless, one should maintain balance and not use too many large flowers in the hairstyle. It is enough to be limited to one or two elements. The wreath should also only complement the image, and not attract the attention of guests, which should belong to the happy eyes and smile of the newly-made wife.
Stylist Tips
There are many different tips from various professional stylists and hairdressers. However, there are axioms for choosing a wedding hairstyle, with which most experts in the field of wedding fashion agree, such as:
- for those who have miniature facial features (thin lips, small and neat nose, narrow eyes), lush styling with large curls is most suitable; and also it is possible to balance a small face with a voluminous beam with a large decor in the form of a flower, diadem or long veil;
- on the contrary, owners of large and bright features should choose smooth hairstyles, decorated in such a way that in front of the decoration was not visible;
- in the presence of a long elongated face and a massive chin, it is worth abandoning high hairstyles and combing, which additionally lengthen the proportions;
- if a girl complexes about a low forehead, a high bang will be a real salvation, and the rest of the hair can be gathered on the crown or laid with soft curls;
- several loose strands near the face will visually shorten the long and large nose, while the main thing is that such a hairstyle does not look old-fashioned, which is especially important when creating a retro style.
