Wedding Hairstyles: Up-Dos
Whether you're having a high-drama winter wedding or a simple, relaxed summer ceremony, the up-do is any brides' fast-track route to instant glamour.
GoRunwayThe Ballerina Bride
The ballerina bun is big, BIG news this season thanks to Natalie Portman’s award-winning turn in Black Swan. It takes good bone structure to pull off a classic bun like this but it is oh-so-worth-it for the sheer classic beauty of it, so wear yours at dizzying heights to really flaunt that face shape and flawless wedding day make-up.

GoRunwayFuture Braids
A more dramatic take on the bun, why not be inspired by this season’s hottest catwalks and dress yours with intricate plaiting to make a real high-impact statement on your big day.
The Aristo Bed-Head Hair
You might not think that bed-head hair is appropriate for the big day but who are you kidding? Just because you’re wearing white it doesn't mean you’re an angel! Unlike rock star bed-head hair the aristo version has more gloss, more volume on top and a little more shine – but the texture is just as sexy.
The Grown-Up Flower Accessory
There’s something so grown-up and glamorous about wearing a real flower in your hair, especially if it matches your bouquet. Choose a sturdy flower though, like a lily – you don’t want a wilted bloom in your ‘do all day! Keep the hair simple, but interesting, with a curled-under ponytail or severe side-parting.
The Very Modern Bride
Go fierce with a teased beehive and an of-the-moment plait. This totally eye-catching look will knock your bridegroom off his feet and wow the guests. Watch that a modern ‘do like this works with your dress and keep the make-up simple yet striking with a sexy slick of bright red lippy.
The Dolly Up-do
Go super girlie with a cute curls-piled-high style. Work your waves into a tumbling up-do and pin with jewelled hair accessories. Finish with a eccentric hairband to frame the up-do, and don’t scrimp on the rouge!
The Understated Up-do
A classic, chic up-do with almost zero style means minimum effort, maximum effect. The key is that even though your hair is up it still needs to be in great condition so that when you slick it back the shine contrasts with the dramatic hair accessory.
