If you’ve been searching Pinterest for the perfect bridal hairstyle and seem stuck, these tips are just for you!

1. Consider the overall esthetic of your wedding. Is it boho-chic? Rustic? Elegant? Consider which style will be best suited for your dress and the overall look around you on your wedding day.
2. What will the temperature be? You may be too hot with your hair all down during a summer wedding. A winter wedding may be best suited for an all-down style if you get warm easily. If you know you won’t be too warm with your hair down any time of year, then you have all the options! Don’t forget the wind. If it’s super windy on your wedding day choose an all up style so your hair isn’t interfering with beautiful wedding photos.
3. Let your hairstylist guide you. You may look your best in a particular hairstyle shape depending on your face shape and features. Ask your bridal hairstylist for guidance.
4. If you are standing in a traditional line up with the bride on the left, then you want to make sure your hair is not tucked in a low bun on the right. In photos you will not see any of that beautiful hairstyle!
5. Leave room for the veil. Typically your hairstylist will let you know where the veil will sit but you do want to consider where you will want your veil to sit within your style. Higher up? Lower so it just sits gently on your shoulders? Let your stylist know.
6. Be you! Make sure your style makes you feel like yourself. Definitely try something new if you are up for it, or a style you have dreamed of for your big day. But if it doesn’t suit you, that’s okay! You want to look back at your wedding photos for years to come and love how you look and felt.

Don’t stress about your hair. As long as you have hired a professional bridal hairstylist they can guide you to your right style for your big day. Go through your trial with an open mind and maybe a few of those Pinterest photos you love. No matter a vintage down style, half up, or elegant full up do, you will look stunning on your wedding day. Don’t forget that.
