FALL 2012 WEDDING HAIRSTYLE TRENDS

-->
Fall wedding season is upon us! Get ready ladies, it’s all about texture, volume and old Hollywood glamour! Here are the top 8 trends that I have come upon to help you in finding the perfect style tosay “I Do” to.

1. Low Chignon: a chignon is a knot, coil or more basically the perfect bun. This fall, it is placed low, either straight back or to the side (preferably the right so the audience can see it). It is elegant, classic and simple. The everyday bride searching for simplicity will fall in love with this style. It can be done with a side sweep bang or all back either tight, ballerina style or loose and voluminous.

2. Braids: "think Grecian glamour". Braids are seen this fall in both the back, side view and even in the bang area. The more powerful, texture craving bride will fall in love with an updo featuring a braid as it creates, not only texture, but eye appeal. Braids can be placed with a simple chignon or low style, or it can be the main event of the style being placed either in the bang, as a headband or even as the core of the updo.

3. Soft texture: for the simple, but creative brides, soft texture is a key trend to follow this Fall. Either being in the form of precise, placed curls or more loose tendrils, it’s about the texture. Simplicity is key when it comes to soft texture, but still adding messy drama to the style.

4. Old Hollywood Glamour: think Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Betty Davis and Elizabeth Taylor. For the glamour seeking bride, Old Hollywood French twists, finger waves, pin curls and volume are in this Fall. The softness of the lines, the drama of the curl and texture makes this look a winner!

5. Romantic curl: picture a garden wedding, not the fairy type, but more romantic, soft with small accents. Romantic curls can be seen in all down dos, half-up styles and both low and high fashions. The key is the right amount of volume, structure and detail. It’s all about portraying clexiness ( classy yet sexy).


6. Classic high buns/chignons: for the modern, sophisticated bride, the high bun hits home. Consider tight “ballerina-esque” form with a organized voluminous bun. With the addition of a braid, this style is top notch in my book.


-->
7. To the side dos: it’s a standard for bridesmaids, but it is also being seen with more expression as a bridal hairstyle. With the addition of texture and softness, this style kicks up the appeal. The nice thing about a side do, is it can be kept simple and classic, more princess-like with a tiara, more dramatic with the right hair accessory or detail, or soft and texturized with curl components such as fingerwaves, pinned curls, or tendrils.


-->
8. Swept away from face with volume at crown: this is an essential style for those outdoor weddings or even a beach wedding. Volume and texture make this look romantic yet classic. And for the back, the hair can be styled in a low romantic way, or more structured and precise.

Hope this trends and tips lessen the pressure to have up-to-date styles for your 2012 wedding or even future weddings. Trends come around and back around again, so I’m sure that these styles will be seen in the future due to their romantic yet modern appeal. Happy planning!
