From seating arrangements to dinner and cake, there are many things that go into planning a wedding. With the stress of a big day, one of the last things a bride will want to worry about is whether a certain hairstyle will hold up. It must stand up to humidity and wind, while still looking nice for the ceremony, reception, photos, and the first dance. Deciding whether to wear your hair up or down is an important decision. Here are several hair styling tips that will help make this choice an easy and personalized one.

How to Decide Whether to Style Your Hair Up or Down for Your Wedding

1. Consider Your Attire

The style of your wedding dress will likely guide you on how to style your hair. If the dress is strapless or cuts low in the back, an up-do can highlight your shoulders, back, and neck. A dress with long sleeves, a high neckline, or one with more conservative tailoring would complement flowing curls or wavy hair and braids.

Wearing a veil can also influence your styling decision. If you’re still unsure, try pinning your hair up as you try on dresses. This will give you a better idea of your preference. 

2. Experiment With Different Styles

A visit to the Salon Sisu can also help you pinpoint whether to wear your hair up or down. Talk to one of our stylist about this dilemma. Our experienced professionals will offer advice on different options.

Choose at least three styles and do a trial-run for each. Take pictures and videos of yourself—in your wedding dress, if possible—so you can reference them before making a final decision. 

3. Go With Your Desired Comfort Level

While a wedding is a momentous occasion, you want to be both stunning and comfortable on the big day. If you typically wear your hair down, pinned back, or swept up and away from your face, consider a style that mirrors those everyday choices.

Salon Sisu can offer additional hair styling tips to elevate a ponytail by incorporating sleekness or wispy curls. You can also select a style that combines hair pinned up in the front with strands left down in the back. Considering your range of options will give you the comfort you desire throughout the big day.
