Bridesmaid Hair Ideas
Your bridesmaids are an important part of the style of your wedding. You want to be sure that they look their best from head to toe, without stepping into dictator/bridezilla territory. These are some ideas on hairstyles that you can suggest for your bridesmaids.
When you are looking for bridesmaid hairstyles, the best place to turn is the bride’s own hair. You certainly do not want your bridesmaids to have the same hairdo (that would just be weird!), but they could have a similar flavor, one that is in keeping with the ambiance of your wedding. Your bridesmaids’ hair should also suit the formality of your event, as well.
For a more formal wedding, it would be appropriate to request that all of your attendants wear their hair up. This ensures that everyone will look neat and polished. Updos can be expensive, depending on where you live, so if you know that shelling out an extra $85 (or more!) will be a burden for one of your bridesmaids, it would be thoughtful to discreetly offer to pay for her wedding hair.
If you are having a fairly formal wedding, it could be very pretty for your bridesmaids to wear some sort of small ornament in their hair. Little hairpins or crystal clips can make very nice bridesmaid gifts. You might want to give hair jewelry in addition to bridesmaid gifts such as earrings and necklaces. This is because, while the bridesmaid jewelry will be something that your friends will be able to enjoy again in the future, the hair ornaments are pretty much just for your wedding.
Beach weddings call for an entirely different type of bridesmaid hair. Styles should be informal, relaxed, and well, beachy. One of the best looks is to wear the hair pulled partially back, allowing some of it to cascade over the shoulders. The nice thing about this, as opposed to wearing the hair all down, is that it allows the hairstylist to create more of a definite style.
Brides nay have very interesting ideas about their hair style, but some of them could be very funny!
