Short Wedding Hairstyles – Gorgeous Choices
27 Sep 2009
A wedding day is one of the most special events in a woman’s life, so choosing the right hairstyle for brides with short hair is a central part of making her feel beautiful and confident. The same way every other decision that will go into how she presents herself, the selection of a short wedding hairstyle needs to reflect her personality.
Short hairstyles are a wonderful way to frame a bride’s face, draw attention to the eyes, and highlight lovely wedding jewelry.
It should be noted that choosing a short hairstyle for a wedding should not be a last-minute decision, rather the bride should have already been wearing her hair in a short style for some time, and be comfortable with it. Suddenly changing her look just before her wedding by chopping off several inches of hair has great potential to lead to tears and regret. Therefore, a bride needs to be comfortable with her particular hairstyle for some months prior to her wedding.
There is lots to choose from within short wedding hairstyles, to give the overall desired effect. Examples include curly hair, with curls framing the face and neck. Adding small clips, pins, and other hair adornments can make for a beautiful overall effect when sparkling through the curls. Alternatively, a bride could choose to have her hair smoothed straight back, with either mousse or gel. This would be similar to an updo for brides with longer hair, in the way it draws attention to facial features, highlighting the eyes, cheekbones, and earrings.
Unless the bride typically wears a very trendy, bold hairstyle, these should be avoided on the wedding day. It may be tempting to try a new color, or bold new look, such as a spikier hairstyle, but again unless the bride has been wearing her hair like that for some time, it’s best to decide on something timeless and understated.
A further aspect to consider with a shorter hairstyle is what the wedding veil is like. Smooth hairstyles are very effective with more jeweled headbands.It’s a good idea to take into account the overall look of the hair, jewelry, and dress and how they will all look together.
Sleeker hairstyles look very striking with sleek, understated wedding dresses.
With whichever short wedding hairstyle a bride chooses to go with, it’s important to have photos taken in advance with the veil and jewelry that are to be worn on the day. That way a bride will be able to achieve the desired effect for her official wedding photos. At the end of the day the most important thing is how the bride feels comfortable and at her most beautiful.
