Hairstyles For Winter Weddings

The perfect hairstyle will literally be your crowning glory on your wedding day. It is important to choose a "do" which complements your bridal gown style, veil, and your bridal jewelry. Take a look at these trends for elegant hairstyles for winter weddings.

Winter weddings are inherently a bit more formal than summer ones. At no other time of the year do people dress as festively as around the winter holidays. This feeling of elegance should extend to your bridal hairstyle as well. Leave the messy beach hair for the summer months, and opt for a cold weather hairdo that is polished and sophisticated. You will also want to opt for fabulous crystal bridal jewelry and a sparkling headpiece to coordinate.

The ultimate in bridal chic this year is a smooth low updo gathered slightly to one side. Have your stylist make it very polished with a serum or pomade to combat the dry flyaway hair that plagues most of us during the winter months. A low side part will add to the style of this elegant bridal hairdo. The perfect finishing touch is a fabulous little cage veil with a feathered accent. Pair with crystal bridal jewelry such as dazzling chandelier earrings, and wear with a slinky silk wedding gown.

Braids are back in style for brides. A low braided bun is a very romantic hairdo for a winter bride. It is a nice variation on the smooth low sideswept updo. Because the wrapping of the braids will add a nice texture, keep the front of the hair simple and position the bun in the center, not asymmetrically. For bridal hair jewelry, either tuck a jeweled comb into one side of the braided bun, or decorate with a scattering of sparkling hairpins. This would be a beautiful hairstyle to complement a romantic lace bridal gown.
