Locks of Love: Why an Updo is a Summer Wedding “Do”

Getting ready to say “I do” in the summer’s heat? Then it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to wear your locks! Our favorite? A chic updo, of course!

With rising temperatures and high humidity, it’s no wonder the updo is one of the hottest summer wedding hair trends. Pinned-up tresses will keep your face, neck and strands feeling fresh throughout your entire day - especially for those having an outdoor wedding!

From intricate coils and smooth buns down to free-spirited braids, we’ll help you out with some dreamy ‘do tips! First assess your dress and general summer wedding style - vintage, modern or boho - then play around with different looks and details that coordinate.

If you love the unkempt elegant vibe, look no further than the popular tousled bun. Perfect for a  beach or a garden ceremony, wavy face-framing strands are a beautiful boho choice. Add detail and texture with braids of any form, like thick French twists that sweep to the side or a even a braided crown.

If you’re a bride looking for clean sophistication, a sleek updo works wonders. Pull back straight hair into a low chignon bun, or add volume to the crown with a retro hair swept to one side of your forehead.

No matter what style you choose, don’t forget to accessorize that ‘do! From delicate to glam statements, there’s a hairpiece or add-on made just for you. Try metal or gold flowers, embellished clip-on brooches, or even headbands. And make sure your wedding photographer puts your gorgeous hair in the spotlight at some point, too!
