Posted by Bargain Wedding Editor in Wedding Hairstyles

As a friend of the bride or groom, finding the perfect hairstyles for wedding guests shouldn’t be a daunting task.

In fact, if you are attending a formal wedding, you deserve a perfectly chic hairstyle for the event. To look your best, you will need a few wedding hairstyles to add polish to your daytime dresses or evening ensembles.

By adding these basic wedding-appropriate hairstyles to your hairdo arsenal you will be the best dressed woman at the wedding, without taking the spotlight off the blushing bride.

Here are two popular hairstyles for wedding guests and members of the bridal party:

Wedding Hairstyle # 1 – Pull hair into an elegant bun. For long hair or medium-weight hair that falls to your collarbone or below, consider a chignon. Lightly spritz hair with water. Apply a mousse or thickening spray for your hair type.

Pull hair into a high or low ponytail. Brush hair with a soft bristle brush to smooth ends at the nape of the neck and hairline. Secure hair with an elastic band.

Wrap sections around the hair in a circular pattern to create the chignon or bun hairstyle. Secure with hairpins.

As a wedding guest or member of the bridal party, finding a wedding hairstyle that complements your hair type and hair length is your ultimate goal. A formal occasion, like a wedding, requires a hairstyle that is elegant, works with your dress and accessories, and suits your personal style.

Wedding Hairstyle # 2 – Loose and Sexy Waves for Shoulder-Length or Long Hair

For an evening wedding or a mid-day outdoor bridal function, large curls won’t disappoint.

For women with wavy shoulder-length or long hair, you can create big curls for in 30 minutes or less. After a light shampoo and deep-condition, dry hair completely. Using with a hand-held blow dryer set on medium heat, apply a bristled-brush to hair to smooth and straighten.

Mist your hair with a heat-activated volumizer. Apply the product lightly to avoid weighing down hair. Part dry hair into 4 separate sections.

Place medium or large-sized hot rollers into the hair; rolling your hair away from the face. Pull the hair taught when rolling to ensure hair stays smooth. Remove hot rollers after 7 to 10minutes. Comb your curls lightly with fingers. Spritz hair with a light-hold hairspray to set the wedding hairstyle.

Final wedding hairstyle tips for the wedding guests or members of the bridal party:

Wear your hair straight only if the style does not obstruct any details of your bridesmaid dress or wedding attire.
If the wedding is outdoors, factor in the humidity or heat when choosing curly or straight hairstyles.
An updo hairstyle accentuates a long neck and can complement strapless dresses and dresses with thin or spaghetti straps.
