Although I know that “updo” hairstyles for weddings are not suitable for everyone, I can’t help but love the classic, upswept hairstyle for brides.

Bridal hair has come a long way since the very tightly wound curls and “prom”-y styles. My favourite modern wedding hairstyles include the classic bun, or chignon, because of its elegance, versatility and the way it shows off the graceful lines of a woman’s neck.

Chignons can be placed higher on the head, right at the nape of the neck, or on the side of the head. Whether you style them messily for a more relaxed look, or pull them smoothly against the head for maximum glamour (I love it with a brooch or sparkly hair pin), chignons are the picture of sophisticated wedding hairstyle.

Happy Monday,
