Wedding Hair Trends 2016

As you walk down the aisle or pose for your photos, nothing apart from your dress will say more about your character and personality than your hairstyle. Have you chosen the elegant and refined look or is the look you are channeling one that says laid-back and bohemian?

Many brides-to-be will have been looking to the big bridal shows, such as The New York Bridal Show for their wedding inspiration. There were so many new and exciting ideas for 2016 wedding hair trends for brides-to-be. 2016 is promising to be one that will showcase the ‘slightly undone’ styles. Loose up-dos accompanied by face-framing wispy tendrils will be right on-trend for this years’ spring/summer weddings. Another striking part of the NYC show was the appearance of stunning hair adornments. A lot of the catwalk styles were including several small and delicate pieces. There were so many looks on show and we have picked out a few of our favourites.

‘English Rose’ was quite a theme in the 2016 bridal shows at the end of 2015. The dresses and make up were showing earthy tones and warm metallic rather than silvers and greys, really creating soft and natural looks. 2016 wedding hair trends will be looking to reflect this with some classic, yet romantic styles.

For those of you who relish those sleepy summer days and the quieter style of festival, there is some exciting news in the 2016 wedding hair trends; braids will definitely be a go-to style for this year! The boho feeling of soft waves with delicate fresh flowers, such as gypsohilia, flowing like water through the braids were the talk of the catwalks and promise to stun your guests this wedding season; bring the romantic look to the center stage. Fresh flowers are not limited to the bohemian styles either. A single phalenopsis orchid stem placed into your perfect chignon can add class like no other plant and hairstyle can. It wasn’t solely brides that were showcasing flowers either at the New York Bridal Show; hair flower garlands for the bridesmaids are proving to be bang on-trend too. Delicate streams and the single bold statement flowers were all over the catwalks. 2016 wedding hair trends are sure to be floral!
