A common mistake many brides make is to completely loose their personal style identity when it comes making hair and fashion choices for their wedding day. Of course you will want to look and feel special on your wedding day, but take care to ensure that it is recognizably you who walks up the aisle to exchange “I do”.
Make sure that you add discussing your wedding hair styles with your stylist to your wedding checklist. This is best done some months from the big day – in fact the sooner the better. Many brides may need grow their hair, or work toward a new color to achieve the wedding hair styles of their dreams.
It probably seems like it’s only the long-haired women who can flaunt fabulous hairstyles to go with their wedding gowns. From updos to wearing their hair loose or tousled, there are a lot of styles to choose from. But if you have short hair, you don’t have to be left out of the fun of hairstyling. Even though your locks are cropped, you can still exude glamour and femininity and look really special on your big day.
What’s really convenient about short hair is that it’s very easy to maintain throughout the ceremony and you won’t need to worry about your hair being flattened or any carefully crafted curls starting to uncoil. Instead of looking totally fixed up, it will let you look gorgeous yet at the same time casual and carefree.
Short hair doesn’t have to mean sexless. If you have a mid length bob and think that there is nothing you can do with it, do not panic.
The solution is very simple opt for soft and easy to manage curls, once you have put your hair in soft rollers, your hair becomes a lot more exceptive to the up do look.
If you like the idea of this 70s look but feel that for your big day, it needs to be more elite, then all you have to do is add a few effortless touches.
As you pin your hair up once it has been curled, then elegantly place individual flowers to your liking to add that all feminine touch.
Create the illusion of long hair by slicking your hair and attaching a big flowery or jeweled clip in the back.
You can also tie a silky or a sheer sash from the top of your head up to the nape and let the ends dangle down your shoulders.
Do up your hair in soft waves and work little jeweled pins randomly throughout your hairstyle to make your look glitter.
Part your hair to one side and clip on an elaborate hairpiece on the other side.
Brush your hair upwards and pin it down securely, then fasten a floral headpiece or top it all off with a tiara or a jeweled comb.
If you want to keep it simple, you can simply slather on the styling serum and comb your hair the way it looks and feels best to you.

Curled Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
For a romantic look, long loose waves with a just-off-center part are just the thing for you. They are sweet and simple and you can do them yourself with a little practice with hot rollers, or you can take the idea to your stylist or on-site hair stylist and let them worry about the details. A hot-set will lock in luscious curls and hold very well in most weather conditions. If you want to wear a veil, ask your stylist to show you how to put in and take out the veil. It seems like a simple process but can be frustrating if you aren’t sure which way the comb goes or how to keep it in place.
For women wanting to let their hair down a little for the wedding, this hairstyle creates a beautiful look by pinning the hair in a unique side ponytail. The look brings more attention to the side and is very flattering with strapless wedding dresses.
For women with shorter hair, the best way to achieve this is with extensions or clip-ons that would be attached to the back. For women with thin hair, the bunching of the locks will create a fuller appearance.
The next step is to add the curls. First start by adding some curl enhancing hair product to towel dried hair. Blow dry and then spritz a heat protecting spray throughout the hair.
Use a large barrel curling iron and create curls through slightly more than half of the length of the strands. Tease the hair at the crown and add a little lift to it. Create a wide part in the front and brush the hair back.
Finally, collect the curled tresses to ones side and pin just to the left of the nape of the neck. What is unique is that some of the strands are wrapped and looped around the pinned locks. This is not necessary but does create that extra touch. Finish with some hold spray.(photo1)
If you like the look of your hair down but don’t necessarily want it in your face, pin one side back and add a fun flower. You can achieve this style on your own if you curl your hair, then use bobby pins to loosely secure one side behind your ear. It won’t matter if the bobby pins show because you will be covering that area up with a flower or other accessory, so don’t stress about that part. Just make sure to use all the hairspray before you put a fresh flower or sparkly accessory in your hair. Flowers wilt with all the hairspray on top and the sparkle will be dimmed if you spray too much on your clip. For loose curls like this, curl with a 1” curling iron and finger through curls to separate. Make sure to curl all face-framing hair away from your face to keep the look open and fresh.(photo2)
For messy curls you don’t have to stress about, use magnetic or hot rollers or a curling iron, and then pull the curls out with your fingers after the hair has set. This is a great look for a destination or beach wedding. Long loose curls are the best blowing in the wind! Don’t expect this style to last the longest – you won’t want to use a lot of hairspray to set it, so the curls may start to collapse and go limp after not very long. Keep a mini iron on hand if you’re worried about it. The curls should be fairly easy to touch up in an emergency.(photo 3)
If you want a princess look and you’ve got your eye on a veil, try leaving your hair all down but full of large curls or waves and lots of volume and body. It’s a classic look that you can’t go wrong with. If you want to do it yourself, make sure you have all the right tools and products. You’ll need a large barrel curling iron (get a good one so you don’t burn your hair or end up with limp curls). Invest in salon quality products: volumizing mousse, thermal protecting spray, styling hairspray, shine spray and finishing hairspray. Before blow drying your hair, use the volumizing mousse and thermal protecting spray to lock in your moisture and give your hair all that body. After hair is dry, section it and spray with styling spray.
Curl in large sections vertically around your curling iron. After hair has cooled, use your fingers to break up curls. Set with finishing spray and mist with a little shine spray.(photo4)
