On your wedding day, all eyes will be on you -- you're the star of the show, and you want to look the part. Your wedding dress will help you look like the princess on your wedding day. When selecting a wedding dress, sleeve options are something to be considered. Your hair also does double duty on your wedding day, framing your face and complementing your wedding dress. If you choose a sleeved wedding dress, you have plenty of hairstyle options.
Chignon
A chignon is an elegant bun that you can wear at the nape of the neck or just off to one side. A chignon is an understated matching to a wedding dress with sleeves that contains eye-catching details at the neckline, bodice and sleeves. You can pull a side chignon back into side-swept bangs that drape over one eye. The bun can be smooth and structured, textural or curly, or decorated with flowers or a decorative hair comb.
French Twist
A French twist tucks the hairs away into a single roll that lays vertically on the back of the head. The French twist has structure and neat, clean lines that don't distract from an intricate dress. Plenty of bobby pins keep the hairstyle tight to your head, which helps it stay secure throughout a long wedding day.
Braids
Braids gained popularity with Celtic and medieval brides and continue to have a place in bridal fashion. Paired with sleeved wedding dresses, braids have romantic, bohemian chic appeal and help to take hair away from the face, neck and shoulders. Pull hair back into a single braid, and wind the tail of the braid around into a bun for an elegant hairstyle.
Loose Curls
Loose curls that cascade over your shoulders bring the eyes down to the rest of the wedding dress. Keep hair off the face by pulling sections of hair from around the face to the back. Secure these sections with decorative pins on either side or with a single clip in the back.
