Red Carpet Hair Styles for your Wedding Day

The stars were out showing off their red carpet hair at the 2010 Academy Awards. There were tons of amazing hairstyles to pull from when dreaming up your wedding day hairstyle. The hairstyles range from Bold and Big to Smooth and Chic. I selected a few of my fav red carpet hair looks to inspire.


A lot of the red carpet dresses are very structured this season and so is the hair. For the modern bride, pair these voluminous hairstyles with a birdcage veil or bright budding flowers. Don't have the hair? Consider clip-in hair extensions for added volume and length.

Messy or neat. The high bun is the latest Spring hair trend perfect for the simple and chic bride. Incorporating a small headband or a simple hair pin will finish off the look to make you effortlessly glamourous on the big day.

Reminiscent of Veronica Lake's signature hair style, these celebs' brushed out and smoothed curls radiated on the red carpet. Finalize this a-symetrical style by twisting back one side your hair held by a glitzy comb or vibrant flowers. Depending on the placement, this may provide a great anchor for your veil to rest.



Unlike the slick back traditional up-do, these modern hair styles sweep away and gently frame the face. While this look seems relatively simple in the front ... turn around to the back for a pop of intricate details. Loosely placed curls and braids are perfect for a timeless yet modern bridal look. Add a vintage hair pin for the perfect accent to your veil.

Combine your Makeup and Hair Trial with your Engagement Photos Sessions!


If you are planning far enough in advance, you can combine your hair and makeup trial with your engagement photo session. This will give you a preview of how your wedding day makeup and hair will photograph ...

Now you are probably thinking I don't want to spoil my wedding hair and makeup for my enagement photos... no problem, Ask your artist ahead of time if they could switch it up after the trial for your photos (some artists may charge an additional fee, so we recommend that you ask ahead of time ... but if you hire a Kensington Artist, we will make the switch free of charge).

Check out this Savvy April 2010 Bride and her beauty trial / engagement photo session ...
