15 Reasons to Wear Your Hair Down at the Wedding

Choosing to don long locks for the celebration doesn't mean your look needs to be laid-back. Wearing your hair down can be perfect for a backyard garden soirée or even a formal city fête – it's all in the styling. Some brides decide to wear their tresses in loose waves, tight curls, or even mostly straight with a slight curl to add some visual interest. Looser curls can be fitting for a boho-chic celebration, while more structured curls are ideal for a formal event. If you're worried about your hair getting in your face throughout the night, pull a few strands back and secure with a sparkling headpiece or even a few hidden bobby pins. Some brides even have their hairstylist on call to transition their look from ceremony to reception! Whether you want to look reminiscent of Old Hollywood or stay true to a glam version of your everyday hairstyle, be sure to speak with your hairstylist during your trial to ensure you'll be thrilled with your look on the day of the nuptials – as well as the photos for years to come.
