When a friend gets engaged<\/a>, I\u2019m always so excited, I can\u2019t help shooting them a bunch of questions: So, will you write your own vows? What will you choose as a first-dance song<\/a>? And how will you do your hair????<\/em> Here, three brides share the hairstyles they chose for their special days\u2026<\/p>\n

Sleek low bun<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cChoosing a wedding hairstyle was a no-brainer,\u201d says L.A.-based interior decorator Jessica Manning<\/a>. (Remember her house tour<\/a>?) \u201cI wanted to feel like myself at my wedding. Since I\u2019ve worn my hair pulled back my entire life, a slicked-back bun felt very \u2018me.\u2019 I also wanted to feel timeless \u2014 I didn\u2019t want to look back on wedding photos that felt timestamped to a certain decade.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re a bride, consider how you typically wear your hair. When I wear my hair down, I always end up fussing with it and looking for a mirror, but I wanted to be fully present that day. My stylist<\/a> set my hair with a gel to give it shine and a clean part; and she added twists in the back, which made the look feel extra special.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Voluminous curls<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI have naturally curly hair,\u201d says Harling Ross Anton<\/a>, a writer in Manhattan. \u201cIn my ideal world, I would have worn my hair naturally curly to my wedding, and it would have looked perfect. The thing is, even on a crisp sunny day, it\u2019s hard to predict how my curls will turn out \u2014 and given that we were getting married a mile from the ocean in mid-July, I knew the humidity would make it even more unpredictable. So, I opted for a more controlled style. As a nod to my natural texture, I didn\u2019t want it to look too \u2018neat,\u2019 so I talked to my hair stylist about making the curls look as organic as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy hair evolved over the course of the night. I loved it during the ceremony, but I loved it even more when it started to get a little roughed up as the night went on. It felt like confirmation that I picked the right hairstyle for the weather \u2014 one that would be gently enhanced by it, instead of at odds with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romantic Rose Updo<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be an actor, and I always loved the way my hair looked in period pieces,\u201d says England-based writer Elle van Lil<\/a>. \u201cSo, I knew that I wanted a romantic updo for our wedding day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"romantic<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA good friend did my hair, and we settled on an updo with loose curls framing my face. Then, on the day of the wedding, she showed up with the biggest smile and said \u2018I\u2019m going to create a rose<\/em> on your head!\u2019 I trusted her, and the final updo was so beautiful! We got married in the middle of Birmingham, England, and as we walked to the city center, so many strangers asked if they could take a photo of my hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"romantic<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI also went with a headband because I wanted to wear something special and out-of-the-ordinary. I had tried on veils, but they never felt right. This headband was perfect and made me feel like a Regency character, like Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek in Bridgerton<\/em><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

What hairstyle would you choose? If you\u2019re married, how did you do your hair for your wedding? I\u2019m so excited to hear all the details!<\/strong><\/p>\n

P.S. The sweetest proposal stories<\/a>, and would you wear a short wedding dress<\/a>?<\/p>\n
