Wedding Wednesday: Best Tressed

Happy Wedding Wednesday! :D

When we say weddings, I think it's safe to say that the first person we all want to see the most is the bride.
What does her dress look like? Her bouquet? Her makeup? And most importantly, her hair?

They say the hair is our crowning glory, and I personally think our hairstyle can make or break a look.
Your wedding day is probably the day when it is of the utmost importance to have THE perfect hairstyle, don't you think? ;)

Best Tressed
Here's the hairsay on the hottest bridal 'dos that dominated the runways this season.

Elegance is all yours with these classic bridal updos -- providing a polished finish to your big-day look.

1. TOP KNOT -- For the high-style bride, a chic chignon is a no-fuss no-brainer.


Molly Sims and Hilary Duff

2. CLEAN SWEEP -- Spruce up your sophistication status with a clean sweep off the face. This subtly sexy and stylish 'do is sure to wow on your big day.

Loose and relaxed, run-your-fingers-through-it hair is perfect for the easy-breezy bride who desires movement.

3. FASHION PLAITS -- A boho bride always loves her braids, and there are many variations to this fanciful look; whether a sweet-and-low fishtail or a crown-topping compact coil, a plait can make an ultra-feminine statement.


Jenna Bush and Kristen Stewart (as Bella Swan)

4. LIFT OFF -- Do your best pinup and try a loose, easy updo for your big-day look. Gently teasing the strands at the roots will create that soft, dreamy style.


Katherine Heigl and Nikki Reed

These hairstyles are all so beautiful, I can't even pick a favorite!
I love the look of the top knot, while the clean sweep is classic. I love love love braids, but I also love how romantic a loose updo is. :)

Which of these four styles is your favorite?
How did you/ will you wear your hair on your wedding day?

  13. My faves are the top knot and the lift off - so gorgeous! I had my bangs swept to the side and a semi-high volume updo that looked like a French twist with little curls pinned around it. Hmm, hard to describe!

  40. Great post Mimi!! I agree these styles are all stunning; I guess it comes down to the bride's personality and the style of the ceremony. On pinterest I've seen a lot of low touseled buns which are also gorgeous.
