Trendy Wedding Hairstyles 
How you wear your hair will have a huge impact on your wedding day look. It can be elegant and romantic, or it can be something you will regret in later years (’80s bang ball, anyone?). To make sure that your wedding day hairstyle is a "do", check out the latest trends.
Romance is the key for all of today’s most popular hairstyles. Your hairdo should look fresh and easy, not overly styled or contrived. You definitely do not want your hair to look stiff or heavily sprayed. It should look as though you could remove a few pins and let it tumble over your shoulders in a sexy cascade (even if it is really held together by fifty pins and a whole can of hairspray!)
These soft styles are often gathered back away from the face. One thing that you do not see in the wedding magazines these days is bangs, especially the kind that are cut straight across the forehead. If your wedding is at least a few months away, that should be enough time to grow out your bangs long enough so that your stylist can sweep them off to one side for a fresh and current look.
Relaxed waves are the order of the day; pin straight hair is not what brides are wearing now. If you would like to wear your hair down for your wedding day, loose waves can be done in a few different ways. They can be beachy and a little messy, or they can be smooth and elegant, with just the right amount of movement. Picture Veronica Lake’s iconic hairstyle, only not so perfect. For cascading waves, a pretty pearl comb will be the ideal type of bridal jewelry for your hair.
Most of the trendiest wedding hairstyles involve pulling the hair back into some sort of knot or bun. It is from there that you see many variations. As with the natural waves, these are loose knots, not tight ballerina buns or pristine chignons. They should look a little like you just pulled the hair back yourself in a hurry (only in the hands of a good stylist, the knot will still look artfully done). Allow a few tendrils of hair to spring free around your face.
Braids are being used to create some very romantic hairstyles for brides with long hair. We are not talking about two perfect braids, nor the ubiquitous French braids of the 1980s. These braids are not prim or schoolgirlish; they are flirty, soft, and vintage inspired. One long loose braid in the back is one pretty option for wedding hair. Even more interesting are the intricate knots and buns that stylists are creating by twisting braids together at the nape of the neck. For your hair bridal jewelry, finish off the look with a scattering of beautiful crystal or pearl pins tucked into the knot.
The current trends in bridal hairstyles are a perfect pairing with the romantic and eclectic gowns that are in vogue. A soft chiffon wedding dress will look even better when the bride’s hair is gathered up into a loose vintagey pouf in the back. Your wedding day hairdo should definitely complement your gown, as well as bring out the natural beauty of your face.

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, however on our wedding day we want to look beautiful to everyone! Ensuring that you look your absolute best without the drag queen affect can be a difficult task. So unless you’re hoping to replicate Priscilla Queen of the Desert, it is suggested that you keep your make-up to a minimal. Sometimes less can be more, and whilst you want to ensure you have enough coverage for the camera, you don’t want to look caked and plastic.
Having a facial one week prior to the wedding will provide a cleansed base for your makeup. It’s important to have your facial at least one week prior to the wedding, as often you break out as a result of the detox and cleansing. This is temporary, and common, however it may last a few days, so make sure that you leave enough time for your skin to clear up and shine for your wedding day.
If you are going to opt for the fake tan, ensure that your face is also tanned. You don’t want to have the body of a bronzed goddess and the face of the phantom of the opera. Keep your skin tone the same from top to bottom. It’s also important to keep out of the sun prior to the wedding. The lobster look never looks appealing, and it will be highlighted by the camera. If you are sunburnt, ensure that you drink plenty of water to keep your core temperature down, and apply aloe vera lotion or gel liberally.
Experimenting with various colours is extremely important when achieving that natural yet breathtaking look. Have a few make up trials to ensure that you obtain the exact look you want. Bring a friend who you trust and ask for their opinion. We all know that some make up artist will tell you that you look gorgeous, but often, the colours chosen may not represent who you are. Strong and extroverted personalities can pull off the smoky eyes with the blood red lips, however women with softer demeanours, and introverted personalities often look better with more subtle and softer colours.
The season in which your wedding will occur will also help to determine your look. For instance, cooler months entails wearing make up that are softer and sultry. An autumn wedding is great for those who suit the light browns and neutral colours. Photos will look great against the fall leaves and the auburn colours. Spring is great for the paler or paster colours with a hint of pinks or rose. Often women with paler complexions look much better when married in spring. You don’t have the sunburnt factor yet you can still have that hint of colour. Summer is great for the bronzer and the brights. Women with olive complexions look fantastic as they are likely to have obtain the natural sun kissed look, and when you already have the hint of a tan or natural bronze, you do not need the heavy make up.
Despite the abundance of choices we have when it comes to make up, it is important to keep in mind that less is really more. Find the colour that suits you and your skin tone, and observe how your skin reacts to the various seasons. If you know your skin cannot tolerate the sun, then plan your wedding for the cooler months and wear make up to suit. Similarly, if you are a natural sun goddess, you can get away with the summer weddings and the bronzed beach babe look. Whatever you chose, remember to seek advice and experiment.
