Wedding Hairstyles For A Braid Bride
There are many beautiful wedding hairstyles with extensions and braids with natural hair that can last from the ceremony until the reception. In fact, these hairstyles have additional staying power than the traditional ones with loose hair. You will be able to concentrate more on your special day and less on wisps of hair coming undone from a once perfect hair do!
A patient stylist will reassure you that choosing the ideal bridal hair style involves a mix of art and science. Here are some items to consider...
- body proportions
- facial features
- hair color
- hair growth patterns
- hair texture
That is the "science." The "art" is where your preferences and the expertise of your professional hair stylist will show up.
Formal and bridal hairstyle ideas can be found in online and offline publications which will help you pick a styling direction. If your stylist has a portfolio, then that will give you a better idea of what they are able to achieve with different hair textures.
A formal hair style with braids should always include a few practice sessions with the style. This requires planning weeks (or even months) in advance so that you can get comfortable with wearing a particular style. At the same time, you can use your online and offline publications along with your stylist's portfolio to practice some wedding hairstyles.
Here is a perfect example of why practicing is practical: wedding weight loss. If you are going to be losing weight for a wedding, then you will need to realize that your face shape may change drastically before your wedding day. Wedding hairstyles for circular or oval face shapes will likely be different than the options available for those with other face shapes.
Formal and bridal hairstyle ideas can go from great to gorgeous with the addition of hair accessories for the bride. The possibilities are endless but the accessories that work best with braids include:
- bridal hair flowers
- bridal hair pins
- wedding hair jewelry
- wedding hair wreaths and tiaras
