Wedding Hairstyles According to Your Face Shape!

Wedding Hairstyles According to Your Face Shape!
 
Your look isn't complete without the wedding hairstyle to compliment your choice of glamorous or natural makeup style! One thing to consider when looking at wedding hairstyles is your face's shape whether it's oval, round, square, or heart shaped.
 

Before you start looking at the hundreds and thousands of beautiful hairstyles, pull your hair back and look straight forward into the mirror. Take an eye brow pencil or a settle lip liner , trace the outline of your face on the mirror. When your done evaluate the shape you have drawn and the shape you've drawn on the mirror closely resembles is your face's shape. From then you can decide what hairstyles fit best on you!
 
 
[Eva Mendes]
Oval:  
Oval faces are longer than they are wide. This face shape goes well with most wedding hairstyles whether its a complicated up do or soft, cascading curls. Pulling your hair back brings more attention to your face as well as making it seem less narrow. AVOID wedding up-do's that pile your hair up at the top of your head; these will make your face look longer. 
 
 
 
[Ginnifer Goodwin] 
Round :
 Round faces are more or less equal in length and width. High wedding Up-do's that add height to the crown and wisps of hair framing the face look great with this shape. Or if you prefer to wear your hair down, consider long or wavy tresses, both of which hide cheekbones and lengthen the face. also try an off-center part, or side-swept bangs. 
 
 
[Angelina Jolie]
Square :  
Square faces are usually characterized by sharp jaw lines.  To soften these lines, choose a wedding hairstyle that frames your face with wisps of hair.  Or you may opt for romantic curls or waves that will divert attention from your jaw. Parting your hair on the side can also make your face look less angular. 
 
 

[Bella Thorne]
Heart :  

Heart Shaped faces usually have broad foreheads and narrow jawlines, so they look best with wispy bangs, or with hair framing the face. a half -up, half-down wedding hairstyle would work well with this face shape. Also remember to balance the narrow jawline with fullness at the ends of the hair. Pulling the hair back will only highlight the broadness of your forehead.

The 5 Bridal Blunders

The 5 Bridal Blunders
Bride Banner

Put the “to-do” on hold for a moment and check out this “blunder” list! Avoid these and stay calm & cool in the weeks leading up to your big day.

 

Blunder #1: Talking Endlessly About the Wedding

 

Your girlfriend simply asks “How are the wedding plans going?” and before she knows it, she’s on the slow end of a 20-minute list of all the current upsets in your planning. While the engagement period can be exciting, it can also be a scary time. But trust that things will work out fine. And the next time someone asks about your wedding plans, keep your answer to a sentence or two.

 

Blunder #2: Expecting Perfection

All the pictures, pinning and ideas can lead to a larger than life wedding (and bill!). Spending outside your budget so the sugar cubes match the flowers will have no merit after the big day. When you find yourself ignoring your budget, remember that the wedding is the launch to the rest of your life with your new husband. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

 

Blunder #3: Forgetting About Your Fiancé

“I can’t meet you for lunch, sweetie, I’m booked with all these wedding appointments.” Sound familiar? Neglectful behavior during your engagement can set a bad precedent for marriage. Take time off from big-day tasks to spend regular old girlfriend-boyfriend time together.

 

Blunder #4: Earning Diva Status

Me-Me-Me, Are you going overboard on the attention-grabbing front, with increasing demands from friends and bridesmaids-more bridal events and outings, more gifts, more reasons to spend money? While your intentions might be to keep your circle in-tact as you begin your transfer to “married” status, this behavior might backfire. Try to plan get-togethers that are all about fun and friendship and have nothing to do with your wedding.

 

Blunder #5: Blowing Your Wedding Budget

Many couples start out right in mapping out their budget, but as the extras-like $200 extra for the gown or a few hundred more for better champagne add up quickly! So make a budget, and stick to it-you don’t want to start your marriage under a cloud of debt.
