What's Your Wedding Hairstyle?

Lisa, on January 12, 2022 at 10:42 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 1 19
I just scheduled my hair and makeup trial for this spring! Super excited, though I have no clue what to do for hair! My dress has a completely covered back, and I would either do some sort of half up/half down style, or all up. I will be wearing a veil, and I also have this hair piece that I'm planning to wear all day:

Does anyone have any suggestions or inspiration pictures for hairstyles? Everything I find seems to incorporate a braid, which I'd like to avoid. Here are a few ideas that I found on Pinterest, though I'd love to see what everyone else is doing as well! What are you doing for your wedding hairstyle?

    I plan on wearing mine down with loose curls. I may do a small bit up in the back, just so I have something to attach my veil to.

    I wore my hair up. Mine was a slightly scaled down version of the updo you posted. I'd wanted something like that, but my hair was too short to go quite that elaborate. My stylist worked with me to shrink it down, and I loved what happened with it in the end! I wore a rose gold headband from David's Bridal with it.

    These are super pretty!! Having something small up in the back would definitely make it easier to attach the veil.

    I thought i wanted updo because i wanted to show off the back of my dress! i really liked the back of my dress but honestly when i tried updo i really didn't like it on me. so i ended up with half up half down

    That sounds super pretty! I'm leaning towards doing an updo, though my fiance mentioned that he envisioned me wearing my hair half up/half down, so I'm still torn. Do you have a photo of what your hairstyle looked like? I'd love to see how it turned out!

    Definitely important to like the hairstyle! Awesome that you were able to find one you liked. Were you still able to see the back of the dress with half up/half down? I'm leaning towards an updo, but my fiance mentioned that he prefers half up/half down, so I'm still torn, lol.

    Unfortunately you didn't really see the back of my dress anymore because my hair was pretty long at the time. but that's alright. i prefer being able to be in the style i want vs what was better for the overall look

    These styles are so pretty! I will say, I never look decent with more tousled hair like that, I always just look messy rather than doing it intentionally, so I tend to lean towards more sleek/smooth styles that still have volume.

    This is my wedding hair at the trial:

    the inspiration pic was this, but I don't think my hair is quite long enough for the tail end piece to go so far up the side after it's rolled around the bun, if that makes sense!

    here are some half up, half down styles I found!

    I’m going to set up another hair trial (to see some options with my mom’s veil), but I loved the half up and half down style my salon did for my first appointment.

    I'm planning to do beachy waves, partly pulled back in some way. We're getting married on the beach, so it seems fitting.

    I have similar hair piece & am wearing a veil. I’m using my regular hairstylist & we are going to start experimenting next month for my wedding in April.

    This is my hair comb. And I’d like something like:

    But I’ve also saved some alternative styles to try if I don’t love it. I’m avoiding updos but only because I don’t feel like myself in them.

    I agree, if I had to choose between the two, I'd also rather the hairstyle be the one I want.

    The hairstyle you chose looks gorgeous!! I especially love those pearls. If I remember correctly, your bridesmaids also have pearls for their hair? Are they doing a similar hairstyle to you?


    Thank you for the inspiration photos!! I think that third one is my favorite!

    This is super pretty! The hair clip also goes perfectly with that style.

    That hair comb is super pretty! I think it'll look beautiful with that type of hairstyle too.

    Beautiful!! I like that it seems to be styled in a way where it keeps it out of your face, but to where it can still be worn half down.

    Thank you! Me too! Yes, they have pink pearls for their hair, assuming it works with whatever styles they choose. Both of them have somewhat short hair now (just brushing the shoulders) so while originally I indicated I wanted updos and they could pick whatever style of that they wanted, I don't know that it will work. At the end of the day I want them to like what they pick, and if they're not comfortable with an updo, then I just hope they can find a down or halfdown style they like.
