If you are still wondering “So how should I style my hair for my wedding day?” “What’s going to suit my dress?”
Do what you’re comfortable with! How you feel is the most important thing, if you’re uncomfortable on your day whether its wearing a dress that isn’t you or styling your hair in a way that doesn’t feel yourself it will show, you are also being photographed all day you don’t want to look back on photos and seeing that uncomfortable look on your wedding day!
There are no set rules of what you can and can’t do for your special day, why? Because it’s YOUR special day and you can plan it however you like! It’s the one day that’s all about you and your partner in crime. There are guidelines you can follow on what hairstyles will suit what necklines but nothing is ever set in stone! Breaking ‘rules’ can be fun! If you have a high neck dress and want to wear your hair down? Wear it down! Just always keep in mind what parts of yourself you want to enhance on the day if that happens to be your back and you have a beautiful low back dress perhaps wear your hair up, or if down maybe have it pushed to the side. Its all a process of elimination just like shopping for your wedding dress! If you’re just starting your wedding planning also check out our guide to finding the right wedding dress for your shape.

FAQs for Karen Willis Holmes’ Best Wedding Hairstyles 2023 Page
- How can I decide which hairstyle is best for my wedding day?
Deciding on your wedding day hairstyle involves aligning it with your personal style, dress, venue, and accessories. Reflect on your usual hair preferences and comfort levels. Consider your dress style and neckline, venue theme, and hair accessories, ensuring they complement your hairstyle. Be realistic about your hair length and texture, and conduct trial runs to ensure longevity and comfort. Seek inspiration from various sources but remain open to professional advice. Ultimately, choose a style that reflects you and ensures you feel confident and beautiful throughout your special day.
- What wedding hairstyles work best for short, medium, and long hair?
For short hair, pixie cuts with sleek or textured styles, adorned with headbands or tiaras, are ideal. Bob hairstyles, whether wavy or straight, can be elevated with subtle flower accents or statement hairpieces. Medium-length hair suits loose waves for a romantic touch or half-up, half-down styles for versatility, both enhanced with decorative accessories. Long hair offers options like classic updos, styled sleek or with loose tendrils, perfect for embellishments like pearls or crystals. Bohemian braids add charm to long hair, while sleek ponytails offer a modern twist. Accessorised styles, incorporating clips or flowers, suit all hair lengths for a personalised look.
- How can I elegantly incorporate accessories into my wedding hairstyle?
To elegantly incorporate accessories into your wedding hairstyle, consider matching them with your dress style and hair texture. Select accessories like vintage hairpieces or subtle hairpins that complement the gown’s details. For updos, tiaras or headbands can accentuate the style, while floral crowns enhance loose waves. Balance is key; opt for simpler accessories if your dress is ornate, and vice versa. Factor in the wedding theme and venue; beach weddings may call for shells or pearls, while formal events warrant glamorous pieces. Lastly, consult your hairstylist for placement advice and ensure the accessories enhance, not overpower, your overall bridal look.
- What types of wedding hairstyles that are timeless?
Wedding hairstyles that embrace a blend of timeless elegance and modernity are always on trend. Classic updos exude sophistication, while romantic braids offer a whimsical touch. Soft waves evoke natural beauty, and sleek ponytails provide a contemporary edge. Accessorised styles, incorporating delicate pins or floral adornments, personalise the look. These diverse options cater to varied preferences, ensuring brides find the perfect hairstyle to complement their unique wedding vision.
