Summer Wedding Hairstyles We Love

It’s starting to finally feel like summer!  It’s definitely the preferred season for weddings.  Aside from the dress and makeup, another important component to the wedding day look is having the perfect hair.  I’ve come across some of my own favorite hairstyles while helping my girl friends with their weddings for this season.  My favorites range from glamorous to bohemian.

Classic:

A low knotted bun or low side swept pony tail is flattering and conservative no matter the gown. Try simple clean makeup for a timeless look in your photos.  You can never go wrong w/ a classic look.

Glamourous:

Bouffants and teased crowns will add the red-carpet aspect to your style for the special day.  The idea is stunning elegance. Try emphasizing one feature only with makeup.  Either heavy colored lips or a smokey eye.  Having both would overwhelm your face and detract attention from a focal point. If your hair is very exaggerated, try going with a nude palette for makeup that’s sharply understated to contrast the hair.

Casual:

These styles are great for outdoor weddings.  They do well even if it’s a bit breezy.  The basics of these styles are free-flowing tresses that are styled to look natural and beach ready.  Be free with your makeup options here. Go for a bronzier look if your planning to tan or be near the beach.  Try cooler palettes if your setting is more of a garden type environment.

Romantic:

Like straight from a storybook fairytale, this style should make you feel like a princess on your special day.  Here we have styles that emphasize warmth, sweetness and in some cases a slight playfulness with the loose curls. Makeup here should be fairly warm and emphasize the romantic style in your hair. Try shades of peach blush suitable for your skin tone or even a stained lip to emphasize a youthfulness to the look.

Bohemian:

For the free-spirit, loose touseled and unkempt hair is the rule.  Try adding hair accessories to glamourize your wavy hair.  Try makeup earth-tones like nudes, browns, pinks and peaches.  Peachy-pink lips are perfect to compliment this style.

Modern:

Styles for the ultimately chic women,  this hair emphasizes a woman with a bold statement.  Lines are defined and sleek reflecting the modern take on beauty and feminine qualities. Don’t be afraid to try liquid eyeliner for a well-defined edgy eye to pair with a sharp hair-do.  Be bold but simple with hair accessories here.  The idea is to make a statement, but in a minimalist way.

No matter your preference, remember that it’s your special day! Don’t be afraid to push the limits but you have to feel comfortable to feel beautiful.  Good luck! ;)
