Here Comes The Bride!

Beautiful Hairstyles for Brides & Bridesmaids at Koztellos Hair & Beauty Salons in Galway Shopping Centre and Knocknacarra

Are you going to be a bride this year? If so, now is the perfect time to start planning your bridal hairstyle! Are you unsure which wedding hairstyle will suit you, or which style will work for your bridesmaids and flower girls? Perhaps you're not even sure where or how to start planning your look or how to book?

We've created a simple guide to popular wedding hairstyles for brides and answer some of the most commonly asked questions, brought to you by the wedding hair specialists at Koztellos Hair Salons in Galway Shopping Centre and Knocknacarra.

How Do I Choose a Wedding Hairstyle?

It is important that your bridal hairstyle compliments your individual style, wedding dress and any themes you may have in mind for your wedding day.

If you're planning an outdoor summer wedding with a lighter wedding dress, then a more relaxed and bohemian hairstyle such as loose waves could work for you. If your wedding is more formal, a structured, more sophisticated hairstyle such as an elegant chignon would complement your wedding dress and theme. 

Should I Wear My Hair Up At My Wedding?

There are no rules that state you have to wear your hair up at your wedding, it depends on your bridal gown, the length of your hair and, of course, your personal preference. 

If you're looking for a low maintenance bridal hairstyle that will stay in place from morning to night, ask your Koztellos stylist for a bridal upstyle.

Loose wedding hairstyles such as tumbling waves can look beautiful, although in warmer summer weather your curls can lose their shape, so it is important to factor in the weather into your bridal hairstyle plans. Our bridal hair experts can even find a stunning half up/half down wedding hairstyle to suit you. 

Should I Wear A Tiara or Veil For My Wedding?

Wearing a veil or a tiara is a personal choice for a bride, and may not always suit the hairstyle you choose, your wedding dress or wedding theme. A dramatic long veil can look stunning with a chic upstyle but may not work as well with loose waves.

Instead of a tiara or long veil, why not try a jewelled comb with a shorter veil piece in your bridal hairstyle? Many modern brides have also taken to wearing vintage inspired jewelled head pieces and even hats to complete their bridal style. 

Upstyles for Brides and Bridesmaids

Upstyles are the most popular choice for many brides. Classic upstyles such as sophisticated french chignons, chic ponytails and sophisticated bridal buns for brides & bridesmaids are the most popular, although the latest trends include more relaxed, romantic bridal upstyles with loose tendrils framing the face. 

Braided Bridal Hairstyles

Bridal hairstyles with plaits, braids or twists are a popular choices for brides and bridesmaids. Depending on your wedding dress, you may consider having a braided halo hairstyle, a French braid or a romantic curly braided updo with floral hair accessories. Chunky box braids or fishtail plaits are also a popular and low maintenance choice for younger bridesmaids and flower girls.

Curly Bridal Hairstyles

Soft waves and curly bridal hairstyles remain a popular look with brides, whether left loose or incorporated into a beautiful bridal upstyle. Many modern brides opt to add hair accessories or a veil to a curly hairstyle, or choose a half up half down wavy look.

When it comes to your bridesmaids and flower girls, consider a simple wavy hairstyle with gentle curls cascading down their backs or swept over a shoulder.
