The hairdo selected for your wedding day is as personal and valuable as the garment itself. Numerous options exist for your hairstyle; nevertheless, longer hair may provide difficulties, especially if you intend to wear a veil, headpiece, or if you wish for the dress to be the focal point.

If you intend to have distinct styles for the ceremony and reception, we recommend a braided style that can be transformed into a textured wave. Numerous options exist, nevertheless, akin to your gown, comfort is paramount. To assist you in achieving your optimal appearance that reflects your personality and remains timeless in photographs.

Curl Cascade

Allow extra-long, voluminous curls to cascade down the back while smoothing the front and embellishing with fresh flowers or hair clips. The texture at the back will remain aesthetically pleasing, even if it becomes slightly wavy.

Modern Ballerina Bun

For Margot Robbie’s Big Bold Beautiful Journey red carpet appearance, hairstylist Andrew Mukamal reinterpreted the classic top bun by positioning it slightly lower than the crown, twisting the hair into a French roll foundation, and spiraling sections around itself rather than tucking them under in a conventional donut fashion.

Face Framer

It is unnecessary to sacrifice length uniformly; instead, release a few strands to frame the face and achieve equilibrium with the securely secured bun.

Braided Chignon

For uncomplicated clothing designs, choose a more elaborate hairdo such as a braided bun accompanied by sleek pin curls along the hairline.

Ribbon Roll

This style resembles a similar form; but, instead of tightly twisted bun segments, it features looser, ribbon-like strands, rendering it a more pronounced statement hairstyle if one opts to omit a headpiece. It will remain functional with one, due to the strands draping about the face.

Tapered Spirals

Exhibit your length with well-defined spirals that taper from a more voluminous base at the crown.

Fabric-Laced French Braid

Enhance a traditional French braid by interlacing ribbon through the strands during the braiding process. This is an ideal location to incorporate your something blue.
