Brides of Spring will no doubt be flipping through magazines and/or scouring the net for some ideas on which hairstyle would suit them best for their wedding day. Let me throw some in for you, courtesy of Complete Wedding Hair & Beauty 2008 magazine.
GLAMOROUS UP-SWEEP
The up-do continues to be the most popular hairstyle among brides, and why not? It’s out of your face, you don’t have to worry about it looking frizzy throughout the day and you can dance your reception away without limp, sweaty tendrils hanging around the face.
A smooth chignon with a full quiff fringe works best when embellished with a gold and silver comb. This type of do focuses the attention on the eyes but may not be suitable for those with high foreheads.
The short blunt fringe may be in danger of giving your face a hard look, but here it’s softened by an upsweep of layers high atop the head and adorned with a flower near the front. This style is perfect for pixie, heart-shaped faces but may not be suited to those with long faces and/or big noses.
If your husband to be ever had fantasies of Princess Leia, then he would love this Leia-inspired buns, with a modern twist. Instead of cinnamon swirls, have your long thick curls swept up into two loose buns on either side of the head. Have short layers frame the side of your face for a softer, more casual, but still elegant look.
The focus of the hairstyle shouldn’t just be on the front. Get your hair stylist to create something more dramatic to the back of your up-sweep style to have your guests admiring your bridal do from all angles.

LONG & LUSTROUS
The long and lustrous style is perfect with long, straight narrow wedding gowns and is quickly becoming popular among brides who want to stay away from the traditional up-sweep styles. But things to think about with this style : if wearing a veil, any movement from the head may cause static and your hair to cling to the veil; and depending on the weather, your hair may get frizzy throughout the day so it’s definitely worthwhile asking your hairstylist for some advice.
Soft, elegant but sexy, it reminds me of Angelina Jolie’s style. This half-up do leaves the rest of the hair to trail gracefully down the back in soft, luscious waves that are bound to hypnotise your guests as you sashay down the aisle – especially when secured with an embellished comb.
Blow dried hair, teased at the crown to add height and volume and pushed back from the face with bandeau on satin ribbons give a modern twist to the classical beehive style.
This do is the best way to show off your thick, lustrous shiny locks. Wear it long and loose, curled at the ends to add extra volume and movement. If you have a high forehead, try a low-side part. This style is suitable for medium to thick hair that already has some natural movement to ensure the curls stay in place.
SHORT & PLAYFUL
Short, funky bobs are in so forget donning a weave or sweeping it all up and concentrate instead on showing off your playful side on your special day.
Make your short bob funkily glamorous with a high-volume blow secured with a pin at the front.
Create a soft bob look with loose waves for texture and volume. Sweep the fringe off the face and hold in place with a decorative comb.

A friend of mine who recently got married had her hair half pinned up with the rest out in curls cascading over her shoulder, and that looked really nice. A good compromise, I think, and trouble free. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding once where I had to have the most elaborate hairstyle and it was horrible!
