Face Shapes suited to a short hairstyle
For anyone considering a shorter hairstyle, your face has to suit the cut. Women with a more elongated, thinner face, typically are the best suited to shorter styles, so, when considering short wedding hairstyles, it's important to take this into consideration.
A rounder face will likely appear chubby if the hairstyle is too short, and may not be the look a bride is going for. The neck length also plays a part when considering shorter hairstyles. A longer neck gives a short style a more natural look. So, for brides considering shorter hair for their wedding, make sure your cut compliments your face and neck.
A short hairstyle also goes perfectly with a longer, taller woman. So, the thin face, long neck, and tall body frame are all ideal with shorter hairstyles, and really give an elegant appearance. On the other hand, a rounder face, and shorter neck, might be better suited to an alternative style.
Which short wedding style to choose
When considering a short style for your big day, simple and elegant are the best way to go. You don't want to have anything too outlandish as far as accessories and color are concerned, nor do you want to overdecorate. The more subtle the approach, the more natural it will look, and the better it will flow.
Determining which short hairstyles to work with, the hair stylist must really have experience, if not specialize in, wedding hairstyles. Depending on the thickness of the hair, many women might consider going with a curly look. On the other hand, thicker hair might be better suited to a straight appearance with a little product (mousse or gel), in order to keep the hair straight.
Since short hair is so easy to manage, pretty much any hairstyle will be suitable for a wedding; but the accessories should not be too outlandish, and colors should be soft and natural. You want to find a hairstyle which fits beautifully with the veil (if one is worn), any jewelry being worn, those of your bridesmaids, and of course, the dress.
Accessorizing your wedding hairstyle
Remember, sometimes less is more. Women should really remember that the hair should be the big picture. The accessories are just there to accentuate the style, not take it over. So, when choosing accessories, subtle and small is ideal.
The shorter the hairstyle, the smaller the accessories you want to wear. Pins, small ornaments (such as butterfly or flower accent pieces), and soft colors are the better accessories to choose from. Of course, the color of the hair also plays a role as to the accessories you choose. The lighter the hair, the darker the accessories which should be worn, and vice-a-versa for darker styles.
When considering accessories, glittery objects can be a good choice, but again, subtlety is key. Also, considering jewelry as accessories, longer earrings are a great choice with short hair styles. It really shows of the length of the hair, and accentuates the longer neck and face structure.
If considering a necklace, small embellishments may make great additions as well. It all depends of course on the style. A simple gold or silver necklace (depending on the jewelry and dress color) might also do the trick. Another key to remember, is your groom. Matching your accessories with the color of the suit (and tie) can really leave a lasting impression on guests.
Choosing the right hair color
If you are a natural blonde, and are wanting to try a new hair color for your wedding day, don't. If you are considering changing up the color, make sure to do a trial run ahead of time, to make sure it goes well. The last thing you need is to ruin your hair style because of a bad color choice.
When choosing hair color, if your natural color suits you and the hairstyle, stay with it. Why change something that looks great? If you are looking for a new color, make sure to speak to your stylist, get some professional opinions, and go from there. Of course the choice is ultimately up to the bride, but if you are considering a change of color, make sure to plan ahead properly, and try it out to see if it will work. There are several 'virtual' styles sites around you can experiment with without having to actually color your own hair.
The new you - a surprise for your groom
If you are planning on wearing a shorter style and your hair has always been long, it is wise to try it before hand. If you are getting married a year from now, it would be wise to see if short suits you. If there's no time, a virtual stylist might be a good way to profile the new you.
In any case, if you do love the look, perfect, you know what you want for your wedding day. If not, at least you have given your hair time to grow back, and can do something about it. Choosing a shorter hair style should not be a last minute decision, and given some serious thought.
Looking at celebrity pictures, hair styles, fashion magazines, and of course sites like this one, is really in your best interest if you are considering going short. Also, speaking with wedding stylists who are trained in short hair styles, getting opinions (professional), and making sure it is what you want, are all advantageous if you decide to go short for the big day.
