Picking the perfect summer wedding dress is just the beginning of your journey to the altar as a summer bride. While last season was all about winterproofing your wedding look, tweaking your ensemble with the warmer weather in mind is the key for couples marrying during high season.
While marrying in summer certainly comes with its perks, being blessed with a heatwave on your wedding day isn’t all it’s cracked up to be as Inside Weddings details:
“It’s no surprise that it’s the preferred time of year to tie the knot – there’s sunny weather and school isn’t in session, which frees up families to travel. Of course, there are many places where the warmth of summer isn’t pleasant, but a burden. Whether it’s scorching hot temperatures or high humidity, summer weather can make it tough to look your best. You’ll also want to make sure your guests are feeling comfortable on your big day.”
Heat and humidity can cause some real issues on your wedding day, preventing you and your guests from really getting comfortable. It can also impact your wedding day look, especially when it comes to your hair. In this blog post, we share our inspiration and advice for summer-proof hairstyles, so summer brides and bridesmaids can enjoy a beautiful look all day long.
Cute curls
Brides with naturally wavy or curly hair can go back to basics to ensure a humidity-proof look on their wedding day.
Loose curls are a beautiful hairstyle, and they’re particularly perfect for boho brides. If you’re not ready to go for full curls, use a sweeping fringe to add structure to the extra body. It’ll give playful curls a more classic and elegant feel that’s easy to manage and maintain as the day goes on.
Beautiful bun
A bun may be a traditional bridal hairstyle but its humidity-proof nature makes this look particularly fitting for summer. Whatever the tone, texture or length of your hair, you’re certain to find a bun style that’s right for you. You can also add all manner of hair accessories to your beautiful bun to put your own stamp on this bridal classic.
Braids can be added to your bridal bun for extra texture and softness too. Whether used in the bun itself or along the crown, braids guarantee plenty of dreamy detail.
Trendy twists
When humidity levels rise, the first thing to expand are those flyaway hairs. Keep those flyaways locked down by twisting part of your hair into a neat half up style. The half up, half down look is popular with brides all year round. Twists add extra interest to a summer style, and when secured with hairspray, frizz can also be tamed with ease.
Pretty pony
The ponytail is an everyday updo that’s often overlooked by brides. Whether going high or low with your pony, this humidity-proof hairstyle is a great way to freshen up your wedding look. Leave a couple of pieces of hair out at the front to frame your face and add to the romance. You can also use texture – natural or otherwise – to deviate from the sleek and simple updo.
Classic chignon
When is a bun not a bun? When it’s a chignon of course! A low chignon is a beautiful hairstyle that’s equally humidity-proof, and it looks fabulous with a veil. Keep your chignon picture-perfect all day by using product to your advantage.
