The "Top Knot"
This hair style has blown up in popularity but recently I think it's lost a little steam. However I am still obsessed. Also, what is more classic than a bun? Come on people, ballerinas are hella classy.
I'm in love with this girls whole look. Her makeup and her messy knot. Don't be afraid to be a little casual in certain areas for your wedding. I absolutely love the pairing of a formal gown with a not-so-formal hair style. You want to be comfortable in your own skin and enjoy your day. Make sure your hair isn't so full of bobby pins that your scalp is bleeding and you're crying from pain, not joy.
Get it sassy girl with red lips! Lurve the classy vibe she is giving off with her low back black dress. Brides, you can totally do pull this off. PS, there is a tutorial...enjoy!
And lastly, a celebrity appearance by Miss Gwen Stefani! Home girl knows how to slap on the red lips, and the soft messiness of her top knot is perfection.
Bangs
Another beloved trend that has tapered off but I believe will be here to stay for the long haul are bangs!
Jessica Alba looks super classy in this bang example - she's even wearing pearls for goodness sake!
You simply cannot mention "bangs" these days without a picture of Zooey Deschanel because she is the queen of bangs. So here is the obligatory pic...
Here's a beautiful bride with bangs! Love it!
And now, a couple pictures of one of my girl crushes - Rachel McAdams. This lady is absolutely beautiful and can pull off just about any hair color and style, including bangs!
This soft style would be perfect for a wedding. Once again, don't be afraid to go simple ladies. Also, her make-up is lovely and would look glorious with a white wedding dress.
And finally...the "Side Ponytail"
This trend was a big deal in the 80's but it looked more like this.....
(Any Napoleon Dynamite fans out there?)
Now, thank the Lord, side pony's look more like this.....(another tutorial ladies!)
Put a braid on it. Braids are another trend that seems to have peaked but they have been around since, well, forever. Seriously, the Bible talks about braided hair so I don't think they're going anywhere.
Soft and romantic, Taylor Swift is dripping in charm.
A bridal beauty with a side pony AND a pretty hair piece.
Another girl crush of mine, Keri Russell. She is a doll and I love her loose, playful side do.
Now, what did we learn today? Simple, soft and romantic hair styles are classic and can be done at home. You can always go to the salon to be pampered and to have your hair done just right but in case you are trying to save a few pennies you can also create these styles at home. Don't be afraid to have a understated hair style on your wedding day. You will be the only one in a white dress so all eyes will be on you anyway and you want to feel confident and comfortable. If there are any other ladies in white dresses at your wedding, give me a call and I will tackle them for you or throw some punch on them. And, I apparently have a love for red lipstick. It's a reoccurring theme in these pictures.
Happy wedding prep!
