Here are some tips to help you figure out if a wedding updo will work for you. You've chosen your dream dress and found the perfect veil; now it's time to decide on a hairstyle. Want to wear it up, but don't know where to begin? You've come to the right place because we've got lots of ideas for classic -- and clever -- updos. These beautiful styles work well with a wide variety of headpieces (though most will take some serious practice or the help of a pro). Classic Updo Create a mass of curls with a curling iron and sweep hair up and secure it on top of the head in a high ponytail. Let the curls spill out around the elastic, pin any strays, and spray it into place. French Twist Love the Audrey Hepburn look? Try a classic French twist. Because this style works best with hair in tip-top condition, start deep-conditioning treatments well before the big day. A Romantic Look If you're marrying in a garden setting, a Victorian-style gown, or you just want to capture an ultra-romantic effect, try a more unstructured hairdo. Apply a product that will hold hair in place and give it some shine, then scrunch hair to form soft waves and curls. Next, gather it in the back, form it in a downward French roll and secure it with a large barrette at the nape of the neck. Crown of Twists Try a more intricate style. Divide hair into small sections. Twist each section and create a crown with the twisted locks by pinning each on top of your head. Up-and-down Do Can't decide if you want your hair up or down? Try a little of both! Pin up the front half of the head in a simple sweep or more elaborate loops, and let the rest hang down the back. Simple Ponytail A basic style can look very sophisticated. Pull back hair into a low-slung ponytail. For a more glamorous look, add some extra shine with a small amount of shine serum before styling. Modern Updo If a simple uptwist makes your face feel overexposed, pull down pieces from the front of the hair to create tiny face-framing tendrils, which soften the look.
