The joys of winter weddings
While summer weddings may get a lot of recognition, a winter wedding can be a beautiful and charming event. Whether you are throwing a winter wedding yourself or simply attending as a bridesmaid or guest, having the right hairstyle to compliment your look is essential.
However, it can be difficult to keep your hair looking picture-perfect all day long - winter weather is notoriously unpredictable, after all! This is why we think it’s important that you pick up some top tips and inspiration from our Oxford hairdressers to ensure you have a beautiful wedding hairstyle. So you can truly enjoy every moment of that special, sparkly winter wedding.
Hydration is key
During the winter months, the combination of cold weather outside and inside heating can leave your hair feeling dry and brittle. This can make your hair appear dull, without its usual shine and lustre. Remember - a healthy head of hair is a beautiful head of hair, so make sure to focus on preparing your hair for winter. Focus on hydrating your scalp and hair.
This means applying plenty of nourishing products such as hair masks and hydrating shampoos and conditioners and cutting down on heat styling where possible. It is especially important to do this when it comes to curly hair, as it tends to be naturally more dry.
Think about your outfit
Perhaps one of the most important things to consider when thinking about how to style your hair for a wedding is how it will coordinate with your outfit. If you are the bride, it is likely that you might have a dress that is embroidered or has elements that your hair could catch on. You should also consider that you may want to wear a fur shawl or jacket outside for photographs, so you won’t want this to spoil the flow of your hair.
Consider an updo
Updos are a great choice when thinking about which style you might want to wear for the big day. Not only can an updo look wonderful with some accessories, they also help to reduce your hair becoming static from rubbing on your clothes. If you are outdoors for photographs, updos tend to look better in inclement weather like wind and rain. Whether you have shorter hair or very long hair, there will be an updo to suit your look. They are a classic choice for brides for a reason!
Add seasonal sparkle
Speaking of accessories, adding a little sparkle is always a wonderful way to make your wedding look that little bit more special. If you are going for a traditional wedding look, a headband or tiara can work with a wide variety of dresses and hairstyles. However, if you are going for more of a boho-chic vibe, then you can add to this with a flower crown. Choose some seasonal winter blooms to create your flower crown and embrace the cold weather styling.
Select the right products
Even once you have decided what hairstyle you wish to wear for a wedding, you will need to think about preparing your hair and how to hold it in place. To allow us to work with the hair better, we recommend not washing your hair the day of and avoid using products that make your hair overly silky. Using a serum to give your hair shine is a great idea, but you will also probably want to employ a holding product in case of bad weather or enthusiastic dancing. Unsure of what you’ll need?
Don’t worry - we’ve got you covered! At Blushes Oxford hairdressers, we use premium hair products to make sure that your hair stays picture-perfect all day. Just sit back, relax, and let us get to work giving you the hair of your dreams.
With these handy hints and top tips, you will be able to choose the perfect winter wedding hairstyle for you. Remember that healthy hair always looks best, so keeping it hydrated is key - while a little added sparkle never hurts! If you want to ensure wedding-ready hair for that special day, Blushes Oxford hairdresser offers a wedding hairstyle service so you can get the most beautiful style for that winter wedding.
