Latest Runway Wedding Hairstyles Ideas

Favorite bridal hairstyles from the Spring 2012 bridal market shows

Carolina Herrera Wedding Hairstyle

The demure hair and makeup at Carolina Herrera nailed the “classic bride” look. Hair was smoothed back into polished chignons, and the makeup was natural and pretty—but still bold enough to pop in photos.

Douglas Hannant Bridal Hairstyle

Douglas Hannant Bridal Hairstyle1This model sported a modern pinup look, with a slightly mussed French twist-beehive hybrid, retro winged cat-eye liner, and a bright pop of pinky-red lipstick. If you’re going to be wearing a 1950s-inspired tea-length gown, this is the way to go.

Reem Acra Bridal Hairstyle

Reem Acra Bridal Hairstyle1Featuring big poppy-like fabric hairpins, the updos at Reem Acra had a dreamy Mucha-esque vibe—the perfect look if you’re wearing a vintage-inspired gown. (We wouldn’t recommend a style featuring a headband if you have a lot of flyaways or breakage around your hairline, though.)

Theia Bridal Hairstyle

Theia Bridal Hairstyle1At Theia, this high bun, adorned with a pearl headpiece, felt put-together without being fussy—just what you’d want at a preppy country club affair or a traditional ballroom reception.

Anne Bowen Wedding Hairstyle

Anne Bowen Bridal Hairstyle1Can’t figure out how to style short hair for a special occasion? Take a cue from this model at Anne Bowen—curling the ends, creating a deep side part, and slicking back the sides of her hair made her chin-length cut look like a loose, romantic updo from the front.

Romona Keveza Wedding Hairstyle

Romona Keveza Wedding HairstyleAt Romona Keveza, the gowns were regal and glamorous, with sleek, polished hairstyles to match. This simple low ponytail with sideswept bangs defines understated elegance, while a classic red lip and thick black eyeliner takes the look from “everyday” to “special occasion.”

Vera Wang Wedding Hairstyle

Vera Wang Wedding Hairstyle1The collection’s diaphanous, deconstructed wedding dresses were accompanied by these gorgeous bun-chignon hybrids—the volume and slightly undone feel added some modern drama to the look.

Badgley Mischka Bridal Hairstyle

Badgley Mischka Bridal Hairstyle1This intricate updo featuring twisted ropes of hair was stunning—it’s a great style for a formal wedding held in a warm-weather locale.
