Hair for a wedding?

Question

I've got a wedding this weekend, and need some ideas of how to do my hair, I;m not in in just my uncles, and most of my family is in it but Im a guest. My hair is blondish brownish and very long, almost to my waist. Its also veryyy thick, so i striagnten it every day to make it thinner. I need an idea for this weekend though? Something that I can do, and then will stay especially at the reception too. Also, if it helps my dress is a purple and pinkish dressy sundress. Thank you!

And, obviously I like the color and length of my hair or it wouldnt be that... so cut it or dye it is not an answer for what to do for a wedding.

Please dont answer unless you read..... I am not the bride.

Answer 1

Well it's not your day so don't go too crazy, just switch up from the ordinary.
An upsweep can be nice, but just don't outdo the bride.
Simple, but elegant.
maybe some spiral curls which will "look" a little shorter than your normal length, so that's a different but simple change.
Depending on how your dress is made also, upsweeps look good with strapless dresses. Spiral curls look good with thin spaghetti straps. Both styles can last a good while too.

Hope this helps.
Drink, be merry and have lots of fun!

Answer 2

Pull the front back to keep it off your face and out of the way. Let the back hang down, you'll get a lot of compliments of your long beautiful hair. Don't straighten it, let it either curl or wave naturally in the back for a cute flirty look.
You can hold it back with a dressy scrunchie or hair clip with pins for an easy to do style, and it will stay well too without having a lot of touch-ups during the reception.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Straighten it, then pull it up in a low ponytail (like J Lo does), and use some hair to wrap around the band to hide the elastic making it sleek and simple. Remember - don't outshine the bride. Simple is best. You could also curl it in spirals and pull it back in a high pony tail. Simple, elegant, pretty.

Answer 4

It's all just a matter of personal preference. I actually have short hair and guys just like it. And i prefer a person with short hair over a man with long hair because long tresses tends to make guys look too girly.

The time of day and type of wedding are two major items to take into consideration. A daytime wedding can be more casual and less elegant with loose styles, while a fancy updo is more fitting for an evening or formal wedding.
For long hair, curls, whether soft flowing or wispy ringlets, add a classic look to the bride’s appearance. Gel or mousse can help in achieving and maintaining this look.
For a modern and exaggerated look, the bride may choose to straighten her hair and add a severe part down the middle.
For a sweet, romantic look, pull the sides back and fasten with a barrette covered with flowers matching the bouquets. This look draws attention to the bride’s facial features. Similarly, long flowing tresses with the bride’s bangs pulled back accentuate the bride’s face, especially her eyes.
A shag makes the bride’s neck look longer and works well with a dress with a low rounded bodice. The shag also gives the appearance of a thin face.
Your headpiece and veil will be the determining factors for your hairstyle. Be sure to bring these items to your salon appointment.
Use a stylist you trust and are comfortable with and have used before. This isn’t the time to try someone new.
Make two appointments, one about a month before your wedding for a “test run” and one for the day of your big event.
Be sure your stylist allows extra time for your appointment. Similarly, ask for the best time of day for an appointment that will coordinate with the time of your wedding. A stylist who is tired and exhausted is less likely to do the perfect job you require.
If possible, it helps to go to a salon that also conveniently does makeup and nails.
Be sure you don’t change your hairdo right before your wedding. It’s better to change it at least six months prior, if you are going to change it at all.
If you are getting a haircut, have it done about two weeks before your wedding day for best results.
If you are planning to have your hair colored, it will look best within two weeks of being colored. Similarly, a perm looks the best within a month.
Stick to classic, sleek styles for a winning hairdo.
Find a fitting hairstyle for the shape of your face and the style of your gown. Some hairstylists suggest you do this before you even purchase a single accessory.
Loop longer hair around your fingers and use hairpins to create an array of lovely pincurls.
For classic style, put your hair up in a French twist. For an added touch, pull a small amount of hair from a few places to create a tousled look.
Certain hairstyles create certain effects in your favor. Ask your hairstylist which hairstyle they would recommend if you’d like to add inches to your height.
Use a crimping iron for long straight hair. An easy way to have an evenly crimped hairdo is to crimp a small section of hair at a time. Pin up the remainder of your hair for ease of keeping it out of your way. For a sharper tighter crimp, use smaller sections; likewise, for a less dramatic effect, use larger sections.
Be sure whatever style you choose if wearable for a long amount of time. You don’t want to choose a hairdo with hair accessories poking into your head.
Decorate your hair with jewels, butterfly clips, or other hair ornaments for a beautiful effect.
A bun fringed with fresh flowers creates a formal look.
Wind fresh ivy through your hair for a creative look.
Place poinsettias in an updo for a winter wedding.

Answer 6

Try a new look maybe cut just a little, color it a bit darker brown, highlights and layer it, have an updo if you don't cut it

Answer 7

I think if you where your hair half up and half down it will be very pretty. Big pretty ringlets and pin half of your hair up will look sophisticated and elegant for the wedding. I hope this helps.
