Wedding Hair Up vs Down: Choosing the Right Bridal Hairstyle for You

Not sure whether you want your wedding hair to be styled soft and natural, or in a glamorous updo? I'm here to help!

When to say "I do" to an updo:

• You want a bulletproof, fuss free, low maintenance hairstyle that will stay put no matter what

• You're getting married somewhere in which you're likely to experience wind, heat and/or humidity (Looking at you, beach brides)

• You want to showcase all the pretty details of not only your dress, but your jewelry too!

• You're going for a more formal or classic look

When wearing it down makes more sense:

• You never wear your hair up and feel most lke yourself with it down

• Your dress is more simple or minimal and you want your hair to add to the overall look

• You're okay with some imperfections due to natural movement throughout the day that may require some light touch ups

• Your wedding is indoors where frizz is less of a concern

• You're going for an overall soft, relaxed look

Some deciding questions:

• What feels most authentic to YOU?

• How do you want to feel on your wedding day? Unbothered, secure → Updo

  Soft, maybe a little undone → Down

At the end of the day, the best wedding hairstyle is the one that makes you feel confident, comfortable. I want you to love looking back on your wedding photos for a lifetime!
