Vintage Siren
-
Now, more than ever, many brides are opting for unique and individual vintage wedding gowns instead of buying new. Classic hairdos are a great option for complimenting these vintage dresses. A popular hairstyle choice for the vintage look is the 1920's Marcel Wave, made famous by screen sirens such as Katharine Hepburn. A sleek bun worn to one side of the head is another more practical and low-maintenance option for creating a vintage look.
Bohemian Chic
-
Many young brides favor a bohemian hippie chic style. Create a natural look by wearing your hair in large, loose curls and finishing with a beautiful flower headdress, made especially to match your bouquet. Plaits are also a popular choice when trying to achieve a bohemian style. Try a loosely plaited fishtail look. Plait ribbons and flowers into the hair for extra impact. A simple side ponytail will also create a desirable bohemian chic look.

Classic Updo
-
The classic updo is still one of the most popular options among brides. The updo will create a beautiful and classical bridal look. Try a sleek and polished hairstyle like a chignon topped with a stunning crystal tiara for that princess bride look. Alternatively, opt for a more natural updo by piling curled hair on top of your head and pinning it in sections. Embellish this look by adding pearls or flowers.
Romantic Rose
-
A romantic hairstyle is ideal for achieving that perfect blushing bride look. Try out some unstructured styles such as loosely curling the hair and putting half of it up, leaving the rest loose. Softly waved hair will also create a lovely romantic look. You can soften a classic updo by framing the face with loose strands of curled or wavy hair. For a beautiful romantic rose style, accessorize your hair with soft silk flowers.
