Hairstyle at Wedding Gown Serenity

The perfect bridal gown deserves the perfect accessories, and that includes your hairstyle. With more necklines than ever available these days, it is easy for brides to get confused about which hairdos work best with which wedding gowns. This is an easy guide to help you match your hairstyle to your wedding gown for an unbeatable look.

One shoulder wedding dresses have become very popular in the last few seasons, and this very unique neckline calls for a carefully crafted wedding hairstyle. After all, if you wear your hair down over your shoulders, you will end up obscuring the one shoulder detail that makes the gown special in the first place. Hair should definitely be pulled off your neck when wearing a one shoulder bridal gown. A beautiful way to complement the asymmetrical neckline is with a soft chignon which is pulled off center to the opposite side of the single shoulder strap. It creates a pleasing visual balance to the gown and also ensures that your hairstyle will not hide the cut of the dress. Keep your bridal hair jewelry simple and modern with this style; a beautiful crystal brooch tucked into the chignon will be perfect.

Strapless gowns remain popular, and the openness of the neckline creates its own needs when it comes to a wedding hairdo. Soft waves cascading down over your shoulders will help to break up all that empty space and add a bit more coverage, especially for the wedding ceremony. For a more formal wedding, an updo piled high on the top of the head can also work well with strapless. Just be sure to wear a dramatic necklace to fill in the empty area between your bodice and chin, otherwise you will look naked in any close up pictures! A veil will also help to soften the look, and is always lovely for a formal wedding ceremony. Select bridal hair jewelry which complements the details on your strapless gown, as well as your necklace and earrings.

 The traditional illusion neckline is a very demure and sweet style of bridal gown. A sheer fabric covers the shoulders, and adds a special detail to what otherwise could have been a standard strapless neckline. Some illusion dresses feature beading on the sheer portion, which will sparkle delicately over the skin. The perfect hairstyle for this gown can be a half up, half down 'do. It will allow the illusion neckline to show, while enhancing the feminine style of the dress. Of course, you don't want your hair to cover any details on your gown, so if your illusion bodice features beading, pull all of your hair up into a classic twist. A delicate double headband with crystal or pearl accents is an elegant accompaniment to an illusion gown.

Portrait neckline or off the shoulder wedding gowns are defined by the way they show off the bride's graceful shoulders. Therefore, it is a given that the wedding hairdo should lift the bride's hair up to allow her shoulders to show. A low braided bun or a faux bob (in which hair is pinned up very loosely) is a lovely style to wear with a portrait neckline bridal gown. The soft styles are not too severe and they will help to enhance the beautifully cut neckline of the dress. A cluster of hairpins tucked into the bun is the ideal bridal hair jewelry for this elegant wedding hairstyle.

In general, seek a wedding hairstyle which suits the style of your gown as well as the shape of the neckline. If your gown has a woodsy bohemian flavor, then a loose side braid would make sense, just as a sharp bob would be fantastic with a 1920s flapper inspired dress. When the wedding gown, hairstyle, and accessories all work together in harmony, the results will be nothing short of stunning!

Faux Bob Hairstyles

Our model had a shoulder length bob which was very fine, and although we wanted to create a shorter look, we still needed to add some shape if we were going to achieve the ‘faux bob’ we were after. We used half a packet of blond clip-in hair extensions , which we curled with the natural hair to blend the extensions in naturally. We then pinned the hair into place creating and shaping the perfect 'faux bob' with plenty of volume. 

Curls take up a lot of hair - in this style you can see how the hair extensions have really added thickness and volume as well as length. We finished the style with the beautiful Acacia II Head piece by Jenny Packham. The ‘faux bob’ was a popular look in 2010 with stars including Eva Longoria stepping out with this chic do. This look is perfect for fine hair.

Natural half up half down style

 

Hair half up is a lovely soft look for both brides and bridesmaids. It’s a pretty, classic style that pulls the hair away from the face , which is always flattering . However – you are getting the best of both worlds with this style as you are keeping the length whilst the overall look is more styled and ‘finished’ which is one that you won’t get from simply wearing your hair down.

However, if you have fine hair this look will just make your hair seem even finer. Our bride wasn't keen on the idea of extensions and didn't want anyone to know she had used them so we colour matched the extensions to perfectly blend with her own colour. We then carefully attached the extensions and cut them to the same length as the bride’s own hair. The result is a very elegant and beautiful one – it’s a natural look but just with a little more volume adding detail at the crown area.

Chic Chignon on Short Hair

Hair extensions are equally as good for ‘up-dos’, allowing you to achieve styles that you wouldn't usually be able to.

The solution was to add single hair wefts to achieve this soft low bun; it's a chic elegant look that really is perfect for brides.
