Winter weddings are exceptionally dreamy. A white wedding dress pairs perfectly with freshly fallen snow, while faux fur coats and warm cocktails add to the chic, cozy vibe. Brides who choose to have a winter wedding are in luck when it comes to deciding on their bridal hairstyle; the cooler weather helps extend the life of the style, so you can go from ceremony to sendoff without your hair falling flat.
With the weather on your side, winter weddings are a great opportunity to go big and bold with a statement bridal hairstyle. While the dropping temperatures may preserve your intricate ‘do, the infamous volatility of the season could pose a few styling hurdles.
“As hard as this may be to hear, many brides plan their wedding style from the comfort of their laptop, often times many months prior to the actual wedding day,” says bridal hair expert Michelle Campbell. “Sometimes we notice brides can get fixated on one look that may not be ideal for the unpredictable weather forecasts during winter months when it’s best to go with the flow of inclement weather. A Hollywood glamour wave would no longer be suitable in an outdoor wedding venue while snowflakes fall from the sky and wind blows in sideways. This look is not sustainable and offers no longevity or style insurance to the bride.” But fear not, wintry brides-to-be, there are still numerous wedding hairstyles that can stand up to the icy elements and leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy.
