When planning for your friend’s big day, you want to make sure to look fabulous in an updo
hairstyle.
There are a number of options for bridesmaid updo hairstyles depending on what the bride is wearing. It is
likely that the bride will be donning an updo of her own so you will want to complement hers if you can.
She might set out certain criteria which may include styles or accessories but chances are, you’ll have some
freedom to choose your own look. Find out as early as possible if you’ll be doing your hair with the bride in
her salon or if you’re expected to have this done on your own.
If the bride is open to suggestions, consider updos all around! Take a look through out celebrity pages or
find some inspiration in our bridal image gallery. Most brides have a lot on their plates and will look to
bridesmaids for support. Helping with hair ideas is a great way to take some pressure off the bride.
Things for the bride to consider when choosing bridesmaid hairstyles:
- If bridesmaids will have similar or different hairstyles as the bride
- Which style would be most suitable
- If bridesmaids will all wear certain accessories such as flowers, headband, hair clip etc..
- Where the bridesmaids will have their hair done
- Length of the bridesmaids hair
- Face shape of bridesmaids
- What hairstyles will be most flattering for the bridesmaids
Updo Guru Bridesmaid Tip for Brides: pick a hairstyle that will be flattering for all
your bridesmaids. If you choose a style geared towards longer hair, make sure that the short haired
bridesmaid feels comfortable enough to wear it. While it certainly is YOUR day, you also want to make sure
those friends closest to you are also comfortable in their skin, or in this case, hairstyle.
If you are like us, you may have a handful of weddings this summer to attend and the costs involved can very
quickly start to add up. If any of the other bridesmaids are good with hair, perhaps you could practice
creating some elegant updos before the big day.
There are a number of updos that are relatively simple to create and
can look just as fabulous as those from a salon. Again, it’s probably a good idea to find out what the bride
is doing with her hair just to get a feel for what you might want to do.
What are bridesmaids wearing in 2012?
Updos, updos and more updos! The Updo Guru team has consulted with a number of brides that are getting
married in the next few months and the choice is certainly unanimous – bridesmaids are wearing messy updos with an
elegant accessorized touch.
We live on the gulf coast where beach weddings are the norm so the most practical updos are of the messy variety
with live flowers. Messy certainly does not equate to lack of elegance and we predict that this will be the
top wedding hairstyle in 2012 for both brides and bridesmaids.
