A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Hairstyle for Your South Asian Wedding
Hey all you beautiful brides! Whether you’re planning the look for your sangeet or your reception, we have got you covered on all things hair! It can be hard to decide whether you want to keep your hair down or put it in an updo away from your face. Ultimately, the answer is whatever you feel most confident in but here are some tips to guide you along the way!
The Floral Braid
We love the look of a braid with delicate flowers tucked in between. This hairstyle adds a fresh and romantic touch to your hair because of the beautifully scented florals. You can opt for the gorgeous and traditional jasmine flowers or something vibrant and eye-catching with a pop of color. You can also choose between having a tight braid or a style that is looser and natural looking. Typically, brides choose a braided hairstyle for events like the mehendi because it’s perfect to keep your hair off your face!
The High Ponytail
Opting for a high ponytail adds a unique touch to your wedding look! You can keep your hair off your face and add in some waves to the hair hanging in the back to create a fun and practical hairstyle. We’ve even seen brides opt for the hair in the back to be braided, which is another gorgeous spin on this hairstyle! A high ponytail or braid is perfect for a sangeet where you’re dancing the night away!
The Traditional Updo
There has always been a debate on whether a bride should put her hair in a bun or leave it down on the big day. Of course, the answer is do what makes you feel special and happy because it’s your wedding day! If you are opting for a traditional bun, there are ways to spice it up if you want to add a fun spin to it. We’ve seen gorgeous looks where brides add flowers to their hair around the bun. This style looks gorgeous under a semi-transparent dupatta with the florals peeking through!
The Loose Waves
We love a classic loose wave moment! If you want your hair to have movement throughout the night, adding loose waves or curls is a perfect way to create an elegant look. You can sweep it onto one side or leave it hanging around your shoulders. This is a perfect hairstyle for a reception event where you celebrate your marriage with friends and family! You can even add in a hair piece on the side to add a bit of sparkle!
The Half Up - Half Down
A half up - half down hairstyle is a great option if you want to leave your hair down, but also want it off your face. We love adding in a beautiful clip to pull your hair back so that it adds a little touch of glam to your hair! Add in some curls and this hairstyle is sure to elevate your stunning bridal look!
Evidently, there are so many options of hairstyles to choose from! However, the most important detail to remember is that this is your special day so choose whatever makes you feel confident and beautiful!
