Wedding Hair: Brides With Short Hair

While there are never ending wedding hair choices for brides with long hair, short haired brides are often forgotten about. What about those of us without long luscious locks, or hair extensions cascading over our shoulders.

While we may be tempted to grow our hair for the wedding day, if you like your short hair why fix it if it’s not broken? There are plenty of hairstyles that suit the short haired bride, and think of the time that will saved in the hairdressers the morning of the wedding! Don’t wear your hair the way you think you should wear it, wear it in a way that compliments you and your style.

Whether you have a blonde bob, pixie crop or a curly do, you create instant glamour by adding texture, volume, plaits or curls. While short haired brides can still wear a wedding veil with a train, (if Audrey Hepburn can, we can too!) hair accessories are also great for completing the look. Jewelled and beaded hairpieces, floral headbands and pill box hats are just some of the choices readily available.

I happen to adore a birdcage veil worn by a bride with short hair, such a pretty ladylike look! There are a number of fantastic wedding hair accessory suppliers who can even customise your piece especially to suit you and your wedding dress! Short haired brides have never had it so easy!
