Wedding hairstyle options: Faux updos

I think I want all brides to "remember that they are creating an entire look that includes their hair. A good recommendation is that you "focus on creating a style that allows you to be a beautiful bride rather than having a hairstyle that dominates the day."

If you have your heart set on an updo, a version may be possible, even with short hair. Some hairdressers reported on the creation of "a faux updo for a bridal client with hair that was only 3 inches long".

Carefully placed "tiny knots were created from the nape of the neck up towards the crown and then fanned out to give the bride the vision of a twisted updo".

While this type of style may be possible even with short hair, don't forget to try on the style several weeks before the wedding to make sure you like the look longer than in the salon.
