If you’re already a subscriber to the Refinery29 newsletter, you probably saw this feature last week, but I thought I’d share it here, just in case. ;)
I was asked to help R29 by modeling for a DIY wedding hairstyle tutorial that showed 3 great ways to get bridal-worthy hair with out having to visit a salon on your big day. I’ve been hitched for almost 5 years now, but we all know that with summer approaching – wedding and party season is right around the corner. I think that all of these hairstyles would be great for both the bridal party OR the guests, and you’ll most likely be seeing some version of all three here on S&P before Summer’s end.
My hairstyle was labeled a “retro up-do” and was created by Frederic Fekkai stylist Fabrice Gili… you can imagine my excitement when I heard the look was inspired by the one and only Brigitte Bardot!
PS. I’m dying to know: If you’re married, how did you wear your hair for your big day? If you’re still a single gal, have you already thought about the styles you’d like to incorporate or are you waiting until you find the right guy? ;)
I wore my hair in long loose waves for my own wedding, but have had at least a dozen different hairstyles/colors between then and now. Kind of funny thinking back, actually! See a few snippets in my hair transformation post from a few months ago!

That hairstyle looks so cute on you!
I’ve been married for almost three years now, and I didn’t do a lot with my hair — just let it do its naturally curly thing. Of course, I also got married in jeans and a t-shirt….
I think natural is best. :) I was so glad I went with something simple so that I look like myself in all the photos!
That hair do looks lovely on you. For my wedding I wore my hair in a side swept fishtail braid.
