Hairstyles with a simple and practical base are extremely popular among brides who do not want to spend half of the most important festive evening in their lives in the “girls’ room” straightening their hair. A bun hairstyle looks elegant and at the same time elegant and feminine together with a wedding dress and veil.
Features of a wedding hairstyle: a bun with a veil
The choice of hairstyle for the bride primarily depends on the style of the dress, and not on the length and thickness of the hair. It is the presence of an open back or a closed shoulder line, a deep neckline or a stand-up collar that determines what shape the bride’s hair will be.
Those who want to opt for the classic version – a bun with a veil – should pay attention to the following advice from experienced stylists:
- A voluminous bun is perfect for lush, royal wedding dresses. It is this version of the hairstyle that will equalize the proportions, preventing the head from looking too miniature against the backdrop of a lush bottom.
- A smooth and small bun is perfect for tight-fitting satin dresses.
- Those brides whose outfit is not overloaded with an abundance of sparkles, stones and lace can decorate their hair with additional decorative elements (barrettes, hairpins with stones, etc.).
- Careless in appearance, buns twisted while running on the way to the registry office will be a wonderful decoration for brides whose dresses are made of weightless and flowing chiffon.
It is best to entrust the work on your wedding hairstyle to a professional. An experienced hairdresser will help you make a choice and tell you which of the options chosen by the bride will be most appropriate.
Location options
The wedding bun can be located:
- High on top of my head. This hairstyle will allow you to expose the neck and back of the head, making the bride visually taller. When styling your hair in this way, you need to carefully smooth each strand so that not a single hair gets out of the hairstyle. In this case, it is best to place the veil under the bun, securing it with bobby pins or attaching it to a special comb hairpin.
- On the Middle level. This option is considered the most universal, so every second bride gets married with just such a hairstyle. To give the hair shape, a backcomb is done on the top of the head. The veil can be attached either above or below the bun. The classics are two strands, released from both sides of the face and curled with a curling iron.
- On the back of the head below. This option looks great with small accessories and bangs styled in waves in the Gatsby style. The veil is attached at the bride's request - from above or below.
If the bride feels discomfort and heaviness after attaching the veil, it means that it is attached incorrectly. To decorate your hair with a veil, you need to use comfortable and at the same time very light hairpins and bobby pins.
What length of hair is it suitable for?
The bun is considered a truly universal wedding hairstyle, as it suits brides with any length of hair:
- Long hair gives you the opportunity to experiment with looks and shapes. At the peak of popularity are long hair styles, the volume of which is filled with strands twisted onto a corrugated curling iron. Styling below-shoulder length hair can take a lot of time, but the results are worth it.
- Medium length hair is the favorite “material” of all hairdressers. They are easy and convenient to work with, curling them on curlers or curling irons, and styling them into your hair. The Greek-style bun and Gatsby-style hairstyles look especially attractive on shoulder-length hair. The location should be at an average level.
- Bob haircuts also allow you to create an elegant and sophisticated look. Additional volume will be given by artificial strands or a special lining roller.
As a lining roller, you can use a foam sponge or even a sock made of thick fly fabric, folded several times.
What to add
You can decorate a wedding hairstyle with a bun and veil using the following decorative elements:
- fresh and artificial flowers (the first will need to be monitored throughout the evening so that they do not wilt or crumble);
- satin ribbons and shiny braid;
- hairpins and combs inlaid with stones or decorated with artistic painting;
- tiaras, crowns and tiaras;
- hairpins with tips made of artificial pearls or rhinestones.
Recently, you can increasingly see that wedding buns are decorated with skillfully woven braids. Spikelets, French and Swiss braids, waterfalls and fishtails complement and dilute the severity of the classic bun.
