Long Hair? What a bride to do.

Do you wear your long hair pulled back most of the time? An updo would be just the style for you! Incorporate a detail from your gown into your hair design. Details such as braiding or twisting of fabric can be duplicated into the hairstyle.

Look to the texture of the dress. A soft, wispy hairstyle complements a soft, flowing gown. A smooth gown composed of reflective fabric such as silk or satin complements a smooth, shiny hairstyle of knots or rolls.

Do you wear your long hair down most of the time? Then try wearing some of it up away from your face, leaving the rest to cascade around your shoulders. Many grooms request their beloved keep their hair down. Let this be the first of many compromises! Allow a few tendrils to escape and frame your face, they can be curled or left natural. Having it all down is just too casual for the big day.

Natural curls? Enhance them and work with them; keep your look soft. Straight hair? Don't expect a set to last all day, wear it up. If the curls are pinned in place there will be less to worry about.
