Wedding 101

The right wedding hairstyle for you will depend on what the theme of your wedding is. This is also true for your nuptial gown and makeup. By far one of the simplest and yet most elegant themes that you can think about is the classical Greek style. If you would care to browse the web for images of Greeks during their heyday, you will note that their dresses are cut along extremely simple lines. However, the fabrics are typically draped in gentle folds around the body.

 

The sense of proportion that the classical Greeks had shows very well in the attire and hairdo of their women as seen on existing Greek statues. Greek hairstyles call the attention of the eyes to the face of the woman rather than on the hair itself. The lines of the hairdo are typically swept away from the face and simply coiffed.

With the Greeks, hair style was a simple matter of functionality. The Venus de Milo, the perfect expression of Greek art features the lady her tresses drawn back gracefully (boyishly?) in a bun. The almost stark simplicity of that hairdo is appropriate for the fullness of the goddess’s handsome face.

Not all women would look well with that kind of a bun as their wedding hairstyle. Hairstyle experts have created practical variations on the bun hairdo.

 

To put give your hairdo a Greek wedding look, you might want to pull it up loosely towards the upper back of your head. Then you simply have to let the ends of the hair drape down your shoulders and back. You will need to put curls on the portion of the hair below the head, preferably loose ones.

This is easily done without the aid of a perming lotion. Just wind your hair in thin sections around wide curlers hours before the wedding. You can wet it slightly to make it more susceptible to shaping. If you are not against using chemicals on it, you could spray some setting lotion on it while it is wound up.

Apply some heat from a hair blower on the wet curls and cover it with a plastic head wrap. An hour or two after that, depending on whether you have soft or coarse hair, it should be ready to for arranging.

Curl the strands horizontally or diagonally backwards. Giving an upward or a downward slant to the curls achieves different effects. If you need to experiment first, don’t use setting lotion initially, just water.

 

Other hair stylists would recommend letting the hair drape down and frame the face. This is usually recommended for women who have large-ish jaws and somewhat fat faces. The hair frames the face with vertical lines that remove some of the fullness from it.

This type of hairdo will need a bit of shearing. Specifically, the hairs that fall around the face should be cut in long layers to allow them to frame the face gracefully instead of just dropping down and adding more bulky to your face.
