• A wedding is one of the most photographed events in a person's life. Hair, make-up, accessories and wardrobe choices are preserved in pictures for generations to see. The formality of the wedding, the style of the wedding dress, the skill of the hair stylist and weather all influence the hairstyle choice.
  
  

Updo

• An Audrey Hepburn inspired updo harkens back to the old Hollywood days of glamour and elegance. The Brides website notes that an updo is a perfect complement to a backless wedding gown. An updo accentuates a long neck and provides a prominent position for a tiara. An updo also offers a better view of accessories such as dangling earrings or an elaborate necklace.
  
  

Long and Straight

• Long straight hair offers a sleek, traditional look. The Knot suggest using a straight style and studded bobby pins to create a tiara effect without actually wearing a tiara. Flatirons, hot combs and chemical relaxers create straight hair regardless of the hair's natural texture. Wear this style if the hair does not obstruct details of the wedding gown. If the wedding is outdoors, consider heat and humidity and the impact on straightened hair.
  
  

Curly

• Long, tousled curls are playful, sexy and romantic. For a more dramatic look, add volume using volumizing hair products or hair pieces. Use a headband, tiara or decorative bobby pins to keep the hair out of the face. For naturally curly hair, embrace the curl pattern. Use hair products that help define curls. Avoid products with alcohol, which dries out the hair. One Wed suggests a curly updo to bring out the bride's facial features in a formal or semi-formal wedding.
  
  

Slick Bun

• A pulled back look is sleek, clean and simple. Slick the hair back using moisturizers and mouse products. Create a part, if desired. Use bobby pins to pull the hair back to the nape of the neck. For the bun, twist sections of the hair around in a circular pattern, securing each section with discreetly placed or decorative bobby pins. Allow strands to gently fall out of the bun for a romantic look. Add a flower or baby's breath to the bun for a more dramatic effect.
