Hairstyle Options for Your Wedding Day

Nowadays, there are so many options for making your hair stand out during your big day. This is important to know for brides because they will be the star throughout the entire day. If she is unable to keep her appearance good, she might not look good in the photos. As such, it is important that she prepares for the big day by looking her best.

Apart from hiring a good hairstylist, it really pays to know what the bride’s options are. If you are the bride-to-be for an upcoming wedding, here are some tips on how to wear your hair:

Retro Glam

One of the trends for bridal or bridesmaid hair is highly influenced from old Hollywood. Known as the retro glam hairstyle, it is a style wherein one side of the hair is pinned behind the ear and created with an S pattern. Another option for bries is to have a side swept chignon with a loose braid; as it keeps the face clean.

Half Up, Half Down

A foolproof hairstyle for a bride is a half up, half down. This is a great option for those who do not know any other hairstyle that would be a good match for their dress. It’s really important that the dress is not too hidden by the hair, especially if wearing an embroidered top. Otherwise, the top portion of the dress will be hidden by hair.

When picking out hairstyles for your bridesmaids, you have to remember that you do not need to have them match all their style. This is no longer applicable in today’s time, as it really is about the preference of your bridesmaids.

Appropriate Dressing for a Winter Wedding

Now that it’s December, it’s time for a winter wedding theme. This is the time of year when couples take advantage of the snow. If you have recently been invited to a winter wedding, it’s important that you know how to dress appropriately for it. For one thing, you still have to look gorgeous when you’re wearing toned down colors in tune to the season.

Here are some tips on how to dress for a winter wedding as a guest:

Colors to Wear: One of the first things you have to consider about winter weddings is that they are mostly all about the holiday colors. This means that the couple may choose a theme that is based on the part of the holidays that they appreciate most—snow, Christmas lights, or Santa Claus. Make sure that you check what the theme of the wedding is and go for that color too. It’s best that you stick to solid patterns instead of floral so that you stay in line with the theme as well.

Wear Jewelry: The good thing about wearing solid patterned clothes is that you can dress it up with jewelry. Go for either a gold or silver jewelry that complements your outfit. Make sure that you keep your style simple and classic so that you don’t overpower the event.

Wearing Layers:  Depending on where the wedding location is, you have to make sure that you also use the right covering to keep you warm. Your options include cashmere, wool, velvet, or heavyweight satin. If it’s not that cold, you can opt for a pashmina.

As a wedding guest, you have to ensure that you don’t go overboard with what you are wearing. You have to stay classy so that you will look good on the photos. If you’re the bride, on the other hand, feel free to check out our selection of winter wedding dresses that will keep you warm and looking gorgeous!

What Will Leighton Meester Wear to Her Wedding?

Ever since news of Leighton Meester’s engagement to Adam Brody broke, people have been patiently waiting for further developments. And who wouldn’t? After all, this is a quiet and reserved couple that everyone loves!

One of the most important things that we are looking forward to about the wedding details is what Leighton will be wearing for her walk down the aisle. While there hasn’t been any news yet on when, where, and what; we can’t help but speculate on this topic.

Here are some ideas on what the Gossip Girl star will be wearing on her big day:

Plaid

With her constant use of haute kilted skirts on her role as Blair Waldorf, we wonder if she’ll continue this pattern and wear a plaid bridal dress. We’re not exactly sure there has been a dress of such nature but either way, we know that Leighton will rock the outfit no matter what!

Hippie Dress

After her role in Gossip Girl, Leighton has been captured wearing a number of hippie style clothes. Her style nowadays includes flowy dresses, slacker chic, and cut-offs. We wonder if this will also reflect in her chosen wedding dress.

Glam Bride

We do think she’ll look great in a Vera Wang dress though! After being the face behind the Vera Wang Lovestruck 2011 campaign, there is some hope that she will choose a Vera Wang dress as well! We hope so, anyway.
