Bridal Hairstyles for 2022

While it’s true that Wedding trends come and go, there are some favorites and some exciting new ideas for 2020.  Flowers, veils, shoes, and jewelry all are now choices that a bride needs to consider.  Once you pick your perfect wedding dress you can start to fill in all the other wedding details with your hair and makeup.  Your hair style decision will influence many of those other choices.  With so many styles available – how do you decide?   Let’s see what is new and trending for 2020.

Long and Sleek

Long and parted or side parted has been a glamorous standard for Brides on their wedding day.  With this style a bride can wear almost any veil or headpiece, including flower crowns, rhinestone hair clip, and custom-made hair pieces with flower or jewels.  It’s easy to customize this look by also pulling the sleek look together with a modern ponytail or side bun.  This continues to be a wedding standard for brides especially if they have hair that won’t hold curls or tresses for the whole day. 

Braided Hairstyles

Braids are a romantic look for almost any wedding hairstyle.  The great thing about this choice is that the look is available for almost any hair length from bobs to longer hair.  A braided hairstyle is also a great way to keep your hair out of your face and an idea that is full of custom possibilities. While not new, there are new presentations of this style that include a romantic milkmaid style with crown braids, braids with custom-made jeweled hair vines woven throughout the braid itself, or braids with pieces of individual silk or real flower pins placed throughout the braid and in the crown of the head.  Consider real touch or silk flowers and your look will last all day.  Check out all the versions of braids for the 2020 wedding season; Dutch Crown, Bun, Beachy, Reverse French braid, Thick Plaits, Fishtail, Side Swept and the romantic Twists.  For a great collection of these types – go to the Pinterest page for Braided wedding Hairstyles – https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=braided%20wedding%20hairstyles

Above the Shoulder

This year above the shoulder and shorter hair is a big idea.  Spicing up a shorter hairstyle is easier that you might think.  Consider flower crowns with coordinating bouquets, individual sprigs of tropical or woodland greenery or beautiful headbands for a beautiful bridal look.  Headbands are very glamorous when accented with pearls, rhinestones, flowers or bows.

With the help of a professional stylist, shorter hair can be created in a half up/half down style, an up-do, French braid or even in a chignon.  Don’t think limitations with short hair – think glamorous.

With a shorted or above the shoulder hairstyle the bride can place the accent on beautiful jewelry including necklaces and earrings that frame her face without the competition of a big hair style. 

Try Color!

This year brides are adding colors to their look.  Think pink, gold, and other temporary tints to create a truly unique look to any type of hair.  Switching up not only your style but adding special highlights and color may be exactly what the new modern bride desires to truly stand out from the more traditional hair styles. 

Just like every bride, hair and hairstyles are unique to each woman.  If you have plenty of time, try out a few ideas and surprise yourself by achieving the look you love on your special day.  With so many ideas available and so many places to turn to for advice your choices are truly endless.
