Wedding Hairstyle Garden Party

If you're planning a wonderful afternoon garden wedding, your hairstyle may be more relaxed and casual than at a formal wedding. Loose tussled hair, pulled back softly with a sparkling comb, creates a fresh, wholesome wedding hairstyle. This wedding hairstyle can be achieved with almost all hair types. Curly hair works best though, because the curl holds longer. Shoulder length hair or longer is the best. If your hair is straight, be sure to use a heavy holding hair spray for long lasting curls. Use a medium and a large curling iron to create natural looking, soft romantic curls.To create fullness at the crown of the head, tease the hair and then smooth over the teased crown to create volume.
Finally, take two side sections of hair, pull them back and secure with a comb or barrette. For thin hair add a bit of hair padding to create extra volume at the crown of the head. A hairpiece may also be used to add fullness to the ends. A tiara at the crown would also work well. Also consider a hair comb placed on the side, just above the ear. Your make-up should look soft and romantic. Roses add a romantic touch to a garden. Wedding make-up in the shades of roses gives a fresh glow to a perfect afternoon ceremony amidst a fairy-tale garden.

Wedding Hair Boho Chik

So many brides are requesting their hair worn down these days, and Lori and her team of stylists created this look with a relaxed, bohemian style in mind.

Finished with a funky, sparkling comb the look is anything but traditional.

Hair Type

Long, straight or wavy hair will work well for this style. If you have short or thin hair, Lori and her team often use extensions. The Custom 18" Hair Extension Set or the Custom 14" Hair Extension Set are dyed to match your own hair and can be placed in the front, back or sides of your head - wherever you need fullness and length.

Body and Texture

The idea is to give the hair an unstructured, tousled look. Our model, Haleigh has fairly straight hair so ModelBride stylists used a large barrel curling iron all over her head to form ringlets.

Stylists then went back through the hair with a crimping iron here and there. Crimping irons are now available with larger waves and the effect is much more natural than the blown out 'dos of the 1980's!

Tease and Twist

Next, the hair was teased at the crown for some height and fullness then the top layer of hair was smoothed over the teased portion. Lori recommends using a light hand here to maintain some texture.

The top and sides were then gently pulled back, twisted and loosely fastened with bobby pins.

Accessories

For a chic finishing touch, the ModelBride stylists chose the Flamenco Crystal Comb, an updated version of a Spanish peineta. It was placed in the hair at an angle in keeping with the relaxed style.

Haleigh is also wearing the Abigail Crystal Pendant Necklace, a great pairing for a v-neck gown.

Wedding Hair Red Carpet

This is a hairstyle that's appropriate for many hair types - thin or thick, wavy or straight.

For hair with a bit of curl or wave, have your stylist straighten it with a flat iron or blow dryer before beginning. If you have very curly hair you may be better off choosing a style that works with your natural curl instead of against it.

The Long and Short

To begin, our model's hair was pulled into a low pony tail with the bangs out. The ponytail should be at least 6 inches. If it isn't long enough, try a Mini Fall Hair Extension or a Medium Fall Hair Extension to get additional length and fullness.

Weave and Tuck

The pony tail was then divided into several sections and woven together into an oblong bun, tucking and hiding the ends with bobby pins. Our ModelBride stylist added a bit of hair padding to the chignon to give the illusion of fullness and to help give shape to the style.

Finishing Touch

The Gala Grande Hairpin Set adds a dramatic touch to the chignon and our Crystal Drama Drop Earrings add sparkle as well as movement.

Wedding Hair Vintage Wave

In the 1920's "flappers" were the gals with all the style. This is ModelBride's interpretation of that sassy flapper look and high-spirited attitude.

Pair it with lipstick in a daring shade of red or pink!

Look at Length

A chin length, or longer bob is a great length for this style. Our model, Haleigh has longer hair and so our ModelBride stylist simply pinned the excess hair up underneath to create the illusion of a bob cut.

Art Deco Accessories

After sweeping Haleigh's bangs to the side the Bellezza Crystal Mini Barrette was nestled in to accessorize. If you have longer bangs or no bangs at all simply sweep your hair over your forehead for the same effect. The delicate Coeur de Crystal Necklace is a nice complement.

Tools of the Wave

Our ModelBride stylist used a special hot iron to create this effect. A wave iron looks like a straightening tool but has ridges that form the waves with heat.

If you have curly or wavy hair, you'll need to blow dry or iron your hair straight before using the wave iron.

Highlights

No matter what your hair color, consider adding some highlights about three weeks before your wedding date.

Haleigh has subtle reddish highlights in her brunette hair which add contrast to the style and give an added glow to her skin tone.
