There’s no denying that one of the most important wedding details that a bride spends months to a year planning and finalizing is her overall look on the big day. There’s the dress, the veil, the shoes, the bouquet—and of course, the beauty look. Because who doesn’t want to look her most blooming, fresh, and beautiful when she walks down the aisle?
While your wedding makeup is something you ought to really plan for, your hairstyle is equally as important. All eyes are on you, after all, and you’d want every detail to be perfect—including the wispy bangs or full fringe you ultimately choose to frame your face with. But if you happen to have short hair and don’t want to grow it out for the sake of a French knot or chignon when you say “I do,” don’t fret, because there are still a number of chic and stylish bridal hairstyles to choose from.
