Bridal Hairstyles and Accessories: Choices Made Easy with Delilah Accessories
When it comes to special occasions such as weddings, the most difficult choices you have to make regarding your look are hairstyles and accessories. Once you’ve settled on a dress, these are the choices that will tie your whole outfit together to make you stand out and shine. There are many things to consider while making these decisions, which can make it difficult for you to choose the options that will make your look more harmonious. In the end, these considerations boil down to:
Natural Texture and Length of your Hair
It’s important to choose a hairstyle that will match and compliment the natural texture of you hair. In this case, your best bet is to listen to the most trusted opinions of professionals who deal with this on a daily basis, such as your hairstylist and customer service representatives that work to choose the best hair accessories for your type of hair. You definitely don’t want your hair to look unnatural and fake on your wedding day!
- Facial Features
Another important aspect to consider when deciding on a hairstyle and accessories is the shape of your face. Many girls tend to look at pictures to recreate a beautiful look, but once that look is executed, they realize that it just doesn’t match the features of their face. This lengthens the decision process, causing unnecessary stress. And we all know anxiety is the one thing you don’t want to have when planning for your wedding! Below, you’ll find a few options to consider based on the shape and features of your face to make your choice a little easier:
HEART
A heart shaped face is one where the cheekbones and forehead are almost the same size, but the jawline is angled and narrow. An slightly off-centre part with braids on each side that meet at a lower bun is a good choice. If you prefer to leave your hair down, then textured wavy hair that meets around the chin works best. Avoid adding too much height to your hair.
ROUND
You have a round face if you have a soft jawline and your the length of your face is almost the same as the width of your face. The best up-dos for this style is a sleek side parted bun to give more prominence to your cheekbones. You can also add height and volume to your hair to make your face appear longer. If you want to leave your hair down, shoulder-length hair with waves and a side-part look best
OVAL
Oval shaped faces have soft jawlines and the width of the face is a third less than its length. These can get away with almost everything. Up-dos for this shape can include swept back hair, or a side-swept wavy fringe. Side swept bangs, and voluminous curls look best. Opt for long earrings!
SQUARE
These have a jawline and forehead that are almost the same width, with a squared chin. A nice low bun with swept back hair looks best. Or you can have a centre part with straight strands, which will soften the jawline.
OBLONG
An oblong face is longer and less wide than the oval shape. These often have narrow, pointy chins. Avoid doing a top bun, as this will make the face appear longer. Try either a semi-high or low bun, with strands framing your face. Long, layered bangs and added volume also work well.
DIAMOND
This shape is one in which the forehead and jawline are narrow, and the cheekbones are where the widest point of the face is. If you have this shape, your best bet is to push all the hair back from your face either by tying it up into a ponytail or bun, or by leaving it down with the front pinned behind your ears.
