We love wedding season! There is always so much to look forward to; the dresses, venue decor, professional makeup styling, mouth-watering food, and of course, our favorite, the wedding hairstyles!
For centuries, we have been fawning over the classic wedding hairstyles, like the elegant updo and the perfectly manicured waves all put together with a classic, beaded veil. However, as many brides have been facing re-scheduling and postponed weddings due to the pandemic, they’re starting to rethink everything that used to be “traditional” about weddings. More and more brides are opting for more intimate ceremonies with smaller bridal parties and some are even foregoing the Cinderella ballgown and trading it in for sexy white jumpsuits!
Now, more than ever, brides have been planning their weddings with a more creative, quirky, and fun outlook and are more inclined to experiment and make decisions off the beaten path. This includes going with non-traditional hairstyles for their big day!
We have been seeing some spectacular out-of-the-box wedding hairstyles, and we’re so excited to share these with you!
A Big Spin on a Classic Updo
This summer, two of the world’s biggest music stars, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani finally tied the knot after years of dating! Gwen Stefani has been a beauty icon and fashion-trendsetter since the 1990s, so loyal and new fans of hers have been waiting years to see how she would style herself for her big day.
Gwen has always been known for her outgoing fashion and wild hairstyles, so it was great to see that she carried her OG punk-rock energy with her into her wedding day! Not only was she decked out in a short, ruffled, white Vera Wang gown that most brides would shy away from, but she also decided to take a spin on the classic bridal updo.
For the big day, Gwen wore a sky-high topknot with a veil, but instead of tying her bun with a regular hair tie, she added a giant white bow to the look to make this look really pop! Adding a special accessory like this really tied the punk-glam look together!
Pump Up the Volume
Two brides shook the internet when they announced their surprise nuptials this year; Ariana Grande, and Issa Rae! Ariana Grande looked stunning in her signature look, but it was Issa Rae who had all of our jaws dropping to the floor. Rather than rocking her classic short hair for her wedding, she ended up styling her hair in a slicked back, long, curly, and voluminous ponytail!
Her long, copper curls draped elegantly to her waist and made her look elegant as ever! Typically, most brides will opt for heated styling tools to help them get the perfect look, but Issa’s hairstyle showed us all that you can look just as beautiful on your wedding day while rocking your natural texture. If you want to be like Issa, and wear your long, curly hair in a slicked-back ponytail for your wedding, we highly encourage you to do so, and we think that using a little Keune Style Curl Cream on your curls, and Redken Stay High 18 High-Hold Gel to Mousse on your slicked-back strands will help your style stay perfect all night long!
