ROMANTIC: Curled gently
and then swept to the side, this style suits brides
with long hair and lots of layers. Suitable for all
face
shapes, this look is perfect for spring/summer weddings
and works
particularly well with strapless dresses.
Wear without a veil
so that your hair becomes a beautiful focal point. |
CONTEMPORARY: This look was achieved by curling
the hair gently and then back-combing, before piling
up for a wild but pretty look. Great with most face
shapes, this modern take on the traditional up-do is
ideal for brides with shoulder length to long hair.
Suitable all year round, looks stunning with or without
a veil. |
CLASSIC: Here the hair is swept back
into a pleat to look sleek, shiny and neat. This look
works best on mid to long-length cuts
and will suit most face shapes, except long. The classic
style is securely pinned,
making it suitable for all weather conditions,
all year round.
Finish with a tiara and veil for a breathtaking vision. |
Hair dos and don'ts
 Have
a few practice runs in the weeks before your wedding to
try styles and find what works for you.
It
is imperative that you see your hair with your whole bridal
outfit to make sure it all looks exactly as you want - don't
wait until the wedding day.
Wear
a button-up shirt so you don't have to pull anything over
your head and upset the styling.
Have
your hair cut and coloured a couple of weeks before the
day so that everything has time to settle and your look
is perfect.
Think
about the practicality of what you want. Curls can look
great, but if your hair is naturally straight, will they
hold up for a 10 hour day?
Above
all, be yourself. Your hair should reflect who you are,
so avoid styles that are very different from your usual
look.
