Royal Wedding Hairstyles

Amidst the swirl of activity surrounding your Salt Lake City wedding, we’re sure you’ve probably heard some of the buzz regarding the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton taking place tomorrow, Friday April 29th! While we’re far from the England’s wedding of the year (and probably decade), we’re seeing waves of royal wedding style hit our shores and influence the summer’s hottest wedding trends.

One question that’s been at the forefront of people’s minds, especially soon-to-be brides is how Kate will wear her hair on the big day. Reports from Miss Middleton’s hair dresser, Richard Ward, note that Kate’s hair will “100% be down and flowy.” Ward continued with the advice that, “Every bride's hair on their wedding day should reflect their look throughout the year. Kate's such a natural girl, so no stuffy up-dos for her.”

Gone are the days where brides feel that the most appropriate wedding hairstyle is some sort of updo. Feeling like a bride while still feeling like yourself is one of the most important elements of your wedding day. You never want to look back at pictures and think about how uncomfortable you were or notice that your wedding day appearance didn’t look anything like “you.”So, how do you decide on which hairstyle will work best for the big day? Here are a three basic things you’ll want to consider.

1. Dress & Accessories- Does your dress have a detailing at the top that you want to be seen? Or are your stunning wedding earrings part of your ensemble that you want to show off? Having your hair up or pulled back will ensure these are showcased. Or perhaps a simple dress or an open back will be enhanced by long, loose waves.

2. Setting- If your wedding is outdoors or more relaxed, allow your hair to mimic the atmosphere. A fun accessory in your hair may play off your theme or fit in well with your unique tastes. Hosting a formal affair with simple elegance? Try a sleek bun hairstyle. Or, for an extravagant, princess inspired event; the updo may be just the thing!

3. Yourself- Again, make sure that your hairstyle reflects you! If you don’t LOVE what your hairstylist comes up with, let them know! Ultimately, you need to be completely happy with the choice.
