How To Choose The Perfect Indian Wedding Hairstyle In Order To Look Glamorous :

You might have carefully chosen tons and tons of glamorous hairstyles for your wedding or you simply liked a picture of a bride on instagram or pinterest  and want something exactly like for your big day. However, before you tell your stylist what hairstyle you want or even for that fact show that picture or screen shot from instagram you might want to consider a few things! Now you might think why give so much importance to a hairstyle when you have other much important things on your hand, so let me tell you that the way your hair looks on the day you tie the knot is just as much a part of the whole outfit as the shoes or bridal dress itself . You can have your let open if its a winter wedding or you can match your hair with your outfit or you can simply opt for an elegant up do! Just remember the way you opt your hairstyle will be documented in your wedding photos and wedding videos for the rest of your life, which is why I emphasize on getting everything perfect and carefully choosing the right hairstyle for your special day.’'
You don’t have to copy somebody’s style to look glamorous on your wedding, just go with your gut feeling and pick up a hairstyle based on a few aspects , which will automatically make you the most glamorous Hindustani bride out there !

While picking up an Indian wedding Hairstyle we seriously suggest you to consider the following aspects:

Wedding Theme:

You might want to consider the venue in which your wedding is going to take place, as different venues and locations call for different Indian wedding hairstyles . If your wedding is in South India , say Kerala or Karnataka you are probably going to take the pheras inside a mandapa in a marriage hall, which is indoors . Or if your wedding is Beach themed one or even a Rajasthani Royal wedding themed. It is important to go for a hairstyle that gels with the whole wedding theme or you might look out of place sporting a thick braid with flowers in a beach themed wedding ! Pick up braids if its a religious wedding , go for elegant updo’s if if you plan on getting married in a church , or go for elaborate loose curls or even curled open hair for an outdoor themed wedding.

Wedding Outfit:

The most important factor while choosing a hairstyle for an Indian bride is going according to her wedding outfit! If you are getting professional help , then its best to show them the outfit so they can chance upon the closest best hairstyle to go with your outfit and if you are getting the hairstyle done on your own then you might want to consider the style of the dress to pick up the right bridal hairstyle. Go for messy buns and spoofed up up do’s with elaborate ethnic outfits like Ghagra choli or flared ornate lehengas, side  parted soft curls or side parted tight buns if you are planning on wearing a sharara or fish cut lehenga,or choose braids if you are wearing nine yards Banarsi silk sarees . Pick a hairstyle that will make it easier for you to show off the detailing your dress, such as a bride wearing a gown with detailing at the back or a bride with an interesting blouse back design can opt for an elegant updo to show off the detailing.

Climate Conditions:

While we have covered two important factors another one which is as critical as the first two is the weather , especially if you have an outdoor wedding on a sunny day, you don’t want sweat tricking down your spine due to your half open loose hairstyle. Choose a hairstyle which is appropriate for the climate you will be in.Temperature rising and temperature hitting down all lows can both be a hurdle. You don’t want to end up shivering in an Ac hall or sweat profusely outside on your reception or worst have sweaty bangs sticking out of your dupatta if you are wearing a veil or a dupatta like most Indian Bride’s do!

Head Jewellery:

Indian bride is incomplete without some glamorous jewellery to go with her traditional attire. Almost all Indian bride’s go for head harnesses, maang tikka or huge Jhoomars or even the latest side passa. All of these head jewellery dominate the kind of hairstyle you might want to pull off on your wedding day. If you are opting for heavy gold head jewellery like the South Indian brides complete with real flowers then its best to opt braids or those having to wear maang tikkas and jhoomars might want to sport a voluminous front poof updo or open hair with volume at the front to help the hairstyle accentuate the jewellery you would be wearing !

Budget:

Last but not the least its important to keep in mind that the hairstylist is not going to cost you a bomb ! Make sure everything is within your budget as makeup and hair is certainly considered to be taken account of in your budget! You might even want a trial of the hairstyle beforehand so you know you are satisfied with the whole outcome but all of these can cost you loads and loads which is why you should consider students who are still in the training process and might cut costs to get themselves some experience. You can also ask your friends and family to suggest a good hairstylist who they had a good experience . You can also find many hairstylists up for hair styling on youtube and instagram, who surely wouldn’t cost as much as high end spas and parlors would.
