“Wedding Hair
Style Ideas”
With wedding season just around the corner, you may have chosen your date, location and dress, but have you chosen your wedding hair? Your hairstyle is as vital to your overall look as anything else, so don’t forget to plan ahead when it comes to your wedding hair do too! Need help with wedding hair ideas? Well that’s what I’m here for! Read on for timelines, tips and ideas.
Wedding Hair Timeline
- 6 weeks before wedding: Find a hairstylist and bring in pictures to practice your wedding hair favorites.
- 4 weeks before wedding: Try an at-home hair treatment like a moisture mask to get the healthiest and softest wedding day hair possible. Do this hair treatment weekly.
- 2 weeks before wedding: Have you chosen your favorite wedding hair style yet? If not, get to it and schedule another trial run!
- 1 week before wedding: Get wedding hair cut and color. Do a final trial run (with your headpiece).
- Day before wedding: Wash your hair (second day hair is better to style with) and do one last hair treatment.
- Day of wedding: Today is the day! Your wedding hair should be perfect!
Wedding Hair Style Ideas:
.
Wearing Your Hair Up ~~ Wearing your hair up is a great option for wedding hair. It gives off a formal vibe, so go with a style like this if you are having a formal affair, or if you want to show off a beautiful neckline or shoulders. A bit of bang in the front, like this picture shows, is very beautiful too.

Wearing Your Hair Down ~~ A relaxed and casual look, wearing your hair down has become quite popular lately with celebrities like Eva Longoria-Parker and Tori Spelling wearing this style for their wedding days. Soft, tousled waves make wedding hair worn down perfect for your special day.

Wedding Hair Undecided ~~ Can’t decide between your wedding hair worn up or worn down? Why not meet in the middle and combine the best of both worlds by choosing a half-up, half down hairstyle? A hair style like this can be worn a variety of ways and works for both formal and casual affairs. Experiment with the amount of hair you put up, as well as where the headpiece or veil is worn for the best look.
Wedding hair worn partially up combines the best of both worlds.

Wedding Hair Tips
Tip 1 ~~ Trial runs of your wedding hair style are both necessary and helpful. Whether you are hiring a professional stylist, or doing your wedding hair yourself, a trial run or two can help you decide on a hair style and see what the end result will look like.
Tip 2 ~~ Be sure to keep extra bobby pins, shine spray and hairspray with you on your wedding day for touch ups throughout the reception.
Tip 3 ~~ Keep your hair cut and color conservative. This is your wedding day and you want your wedding hair to be timeless. This is not the time to experiment with a short style or funky colors.
My personal wedding hair favorite is a half-up, half-down style that incorporates a bit of formality and a bit of casualness, perfect for any style of wedding (I could be partial to this style, considering I wore this style at my own wedding.

Hi! I’m getting married this fall and still haven’t found a dress. I stumbled across this site (while searching for wedding hairstyles) and found a dress that I loved on one of the girls in the pictures. It’s the girl with her hair down, blonde, with the way rad, flowery headband. I LOVE her dress! I would love to know where you found this picture so I can somehow hunt down a similar dress! Thanks so much! :)
