Romantic Wedding Hairstyles

Every woman wants to look her best on her wedding day. A lot of emphasis is thrown on the entire look. Be it the wedding outfit, makeup, jewelry or the hairstyle. Everything has its own importance and relevance. All these contribute in making the final look of the bride.

Bridal tastes vary, but should always complement the wedding dress and contribute to the overall look. Women should not consider their natural hair length when choosing a style, because so many extensions and accessories are available. 

Brides go for different hairstyles to suit different wedding events. There are many options to choose from. The choice of a particular hairstyle depends on the outfit the bride will wear for a particular wedding event. Many traditional rituals require the bride to cover her head with a veil. This may limit some hairstyle and decorations options.

Planning hairstyle:

The hairstyle is decided well in advance keeping in mind the personality of the bride, the shape of her face, her height and her outfit. Many times the height of the groom is also taken into consideration while choosing the bride’s hairstyle.

Hair adornment:

Flowers, beads, sequins, glitters, diamante clips, hair pins, hair jewelry and hair stick are all used to adorn the bridal hairstyle.

Flowers

All brides go for flower adornment. Besides beautification, flowers also have a functional aspect. Strings of flowers, usually jasmine, adorned around the bun helps the veil to stay in place by means of hair pins.

The floral strings can be attached in a number of ways. It may be encircled around the bun as a single string, or as multiple strings.

In the case of South Indian weddings, the bride does not puts the veil on her head which leaves her hair exposed thus eliminating the chances of veil interrupting with the hairstyle. Multiple floral strings are attached to the bun which may be placed at the nape, high up or at the middle depending on what suits the bride. The floral strings may also hang loose over both the shoulders.

Flowers can also be used to adorn the hair braided into a plait. The plait is decorated completely with flower strands.

Indian Muslim and Punjabi brides often go for hair braided into two plaits both hanging over the shoulders in the front. The plaits are adorned with flowers.

Bridal hair jewelry

Bridal hairstyles are incomplete without bridal hair jewelries. These not only adorn the hairstyle but are also essential bridal jewelry. A bridal hair jewelry comprises of beads, jewel comb, jewel hair pins, Maang tika, Tiara, Strands of pearls and many more.

A maang tika is a traditional bridal hair jewelry that consists of two parts. The maang ( string ) rests on the center hair parting via small hook that allows it to get attached to the hair. Whereas the tikka (pendant) rests on the forehead.

There are many variations in the traditional bridal maang tika. A maang tika is often clubbed with two strings made of pearl or simple chains that run across the hairline at the forehead and are attached to the hair behind the ears on both the sides via hook.

A maang tika is not only worn by the bride but it is also the most popular hair ornament worn by the bridesmaids.

In addition to maang tika, there are many other hair jewelry pieces that are attached with the hair. One such a piece of jewelry is quite similar to the

maang tika which is also attached to the hair. The difference lies in the placement and thickness of the jewelry. These are wider than maang tika and are placed on either side of the central hair parting. This piece of hair jewelry is more popular among the muslim brides.

Bridal tiaras are not new to Indian brides. 

Jeweled clips are often used to fix up the hairdo. These are also decorative hair pieces.

Decorative hair pins and clips are also used to adorn the plait. These are attached as separate piece throughout the braided plait.

Not just females, guys can also make Jewish wedding hairstyles at the weddings. They can wave their short hair or may grow their hair to shoulder length. Centre partings look more appropriate in case of men. Brown or grey highlights in dark brown or black wavy hair look hip. It’s ne’er too late to take a right decision. So get up and get ready to decide upon the hairstyle you would carry this wedding to make it the most memorable one this year.
