Getting
ready for your big day can be stressful. We've compiled some tips and tricks
for developing perfect bridal hairstyles for an autumn wedding to help reduce
that stress.
Start
With the Basics
For a
modern, minimalist look try a slick and chic high ponytail. This style will
draw attention to your earrings, necklace and most importantly – your face.
- Flat iron hair, if necessary,
on the lowest heat setting.
- Use a paddle or cushion brush
to create the pony. If your hair doesn't want to be slick and smooth, try
using a small amount of product.
Secure with an elastic band.
- Use a small section of hair
from the bottom of the pony to wrap around the elastic band. Tuck hair end
into the base and secure with a pin.
- Touch up hair ends with your
flat iron.
If you're
planning a romantic affair, try a braided chignon. This deceptively simple
style creates instant romance.
- French braid a small section
of hair along the side of your head.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Secure the braids and twists
at the back of your head with an elastic band.
- Tuck remaining hair into the small braids.

A sleek
bun is the base for an elegant bridal hairstyle for an autumn wedding. For a
show-stopping do, try this technique. (Seriously … try this!)
- Find a tube sock close to your
hair color. It doesn't have to match perfectly, but should be in the same
color range. The longer the tube sock, the bigger the bun.
- Cut a quarter-sized hole in
the toe of the sock, then roll it around itself until it resembles a
doughnut.
- Pull your hair back into a ponytail where
you'd like the center of your bun to be. Secure with an elastic band.
- Pull the ponytail through the
center of the rolled sock.
- Spread your hair around the
sock so that none of it shows. Secure with another elastic band.
- Wrap hair ends around the base of the bun and secure with pins. For longer hair, braid the remaining hair before wrapping around the bun.

Dress
It Up
To dress
up any of these basic styles, your options are only as limited as your
imagination.
While
debating ways to dress up your 'do, don't forget about your hair itself. Adding
temporary streaks of color can create either a subtle or daring effect,
depending on the color contrast. Choosing the colors of the season, such as
reds and coppers, and creating the trendy Ombré look could add an additional layer
of interest.
If you're
unsure about coloring your hair, consider temporary extensions which can be
clipped into place and removed easily.
Fresh seasonal leaves and flowers can be braided to create a stunning
crown. Great flowers for bridal hairstyles for an autumn wedding include aster,
chrysanthemums, daisies, and delphinium.

With the
popular wedding trend of the year being vintage, try repurposing antique items
into hair accessories. An heirloom brooch can be converted to a hair clip for
your “something old.” Add some floral wire and bobby pins to a pearl necklace
and you've got a one-of-a-kind headband.
Or a lace veil to incorporate a whimsical feel. Adding rustic vintage
elements to your wedding is a perfect way to complement this time of year!
Keep in
mind every hairstyle should reflect the design of your chosen gown. Whether you opt to go for vintage inspired,
classic, or nonconforming, the message you speak with your hairstyle should fit
into the overall conversation of your look.
Popular bridal retailers like David’s
Bridal and Simply
Bridal have a plethora of newly added fall dresses for you to choose
from to help you create a platform for your accompanying perfect
hairstyle.
Be sure to decide on a hairstyle
that you feel comfortable and beautiful with on your special day. Season’s come and go, but the memories
associated with them are what make them forever.
