Latest Bridal Hair Styles & Fashions
for 2009
So, you’re getting married this year,
congratulations!
As well as picking out the perfect dress you want to find the
perfect bridal updo hairstyle to compliment.
Getting your hair and makeup perfect on the day of the wedding
is so important, as it will make you feel and look gorgeous
which will make you a bit more relaxed throughout the days
events, as well as during that all important “Here comes the
bride” moment.
Finding Inspiration

There are several places that you can go to find out the latest
information on different hairstyles, and styling
techniques.
You could start with a bridal or a hairstyles magazine, which
will give you some information about different ways to wear
your wedding hair.
Or you could check out the latest runway or catwalk
photographs, which is a great option for a really up-to-date
look.
Latest Hairstyles from the Designers
For example, Karl Lagerfeld displayed the ultimate in designer
bridal hair accessories on his Spring Summer 2009
catwalk.
Part embroidery, part metalwork, this beautiful creation in
white was stunning with images of wings, hearts and flowers.
This is an idea that you could replicate in part with a
selection of clips from your local vintage or accessories
store.
Long hair was twisted around the head in a messy twist at
Alberta Ferretti, seemingly Grecian and definitely sexy. Soft
hair is a definite must for a bridal look, romantic tousled
hair and blow-dried softness are important to create an ultra
feminine look. Carolina Herrera also created a similar look for
Summer 2009, this time a little more Scandinavian, but still
soft and pretty.
This year updo hairstyles are blow-dried and simple, the Oscar
de la Renta show saw hair bouffant and stylishly old
school.
To create a similarly elegant look, ask you hairdresser to
create an Audrey Hepburn updo that is loose and chic. This sort
of style would go fantastically well with a 50s style wedding
dress.
Planning for your Wedding Day
As part of your wedding planning, you will have
to decide on how to get your hair done on the day.
There are a couple of options, but certainly one of the best
ideas is to search for the perfect hair stylist.
Having a practice of your bridal beauty look several months
before hand will ensure that you have picked the right person,
and means you can “road test” your updo to see how long it will
last.
Also taking some quick snaps of it will help you see if it
compliments your face shape.
This can help the photographers have an easy job of making you
look beautiful in every single photo.
Wedding Hair Style Tips for 2009
Hair is always stylish when worn long and in spiral curls, but
make sure to add a little texturing product to your looks, so
they don’t look too prim and proper, or this will look a tad
too nineties.
Make sure that you create your curls with a good tool that will
keep each curl looking as neat at your reception; GHDs are a
real favorite with celebrity stylists, as they should keep
your hairstyle in tact for the whole day. Cheap curling tongs
are a no-no unless you want lifeless curls an hour into the
day.
For a really hot look, channel Gucci’s blow dried tresses. Big
volume and large barrel curls looks natural but expensive and
compliments most women. Investing in a good set of heated
rollers can create this look, but make sure you have another
person to help, as it can be tricky popping rollers in neatly
yourself.
