Beautiful Bridal Hairstyles
Lea Michele
"For the first year ever, I wasn't inspired by a
decade. Instead, shapes and texture were really
what I was thinking about," said Dove hairstylist
Mark Townsend. He blew Lea Michele's hair dry,
twisted in tiny ringlets with a 1" curling iron, and
then pinned the hair back into a messy chignon,
leaving out the layers in front

Claire Danes
A deep side part and cheekbone skimming layers
give Danes's hairstyle a sophisticated shape.
Hairstylist Peter Butler teased the strands at the
crown just enough to add lift and a tiny bit of retro
sex appeal before pinning the length into a low,
tidy bun.

Dianna Agron
"I was really inspired by a classic set that still could
swing and move," said Pantene hairstylist Danilo
about the look he created for Dianna Agron.
"She was wearing a strapless dress, so she wanted
her hair down, but still off her face." A curly down
'do topped-off with a crystal and diamond brooch
was just the solution.

Jennifer Love Hewitt
Gone are the days of the delicately precise
ballerina bun.
Positioned right at the crown of the star's head,
this version works thanks to an exaggerated size
and a loopy, woven texture.

Kate Hudson
L.A. hairstylist David Babaii created this low-slung
braid by blow-drying Hudson's hair straight and
smoothing a quarter-size amount of David Babaii
for Wildaid Hair Polish from roots to ends. Next, he
loosely braided the hair at the nape of the neck
and secured it with a clear elastic.

Rihanna
The key to this look, says N.Y.C. stylist Ursula
Stephen, is all in the cut: heavy, side-swept
bangs bring length to the front, while the back
and sides are left short. Stephen blow-dried
Rihanna's just-washed hair, combing and
flat-ironing her bangs to one side. To create a
piecey look in front.

Penelope Cruz
For this classic half-up look, N.Y.C. stylist Danilo
misted a voluminizing spray on Cruz's roots
before blowing the hair dry with a mixed bristle
brush. To create body and texture, he used a 2"
iron and set the sections by pin-curling them.
Next, he gathered the top section of hair and
backcombed it for extra height.

Jessica Simpson
To get this modern blowout with body, stylist Ken
Paves blow-dried Simpson's hair while using a
round brush. After attaching Clip-In Extensions to
the back of her head for more length, he curled
3-inch sections of hair from the mid-shaft to the
ends with a one-and-a-half-inch iron, twisting
away from the face and down at a 45 degree
angle to create loose waves. He finished by
applying a shine serum to the ends and a shot of
hairspray all over to contol flyaways.

Cutting your hair on your wedding day – wig or not – is a big no-no. "I'm
always surprised at the number of brides who want to cut and color their
hair the day of the wedding. What if something goes wrong? Timing aside,
haircuts and hair color usually look best once they've had time to ‘settle in'
and soften".

be unrecognizable at your own wedding or, worse, cringe when you look
