Just when it seems like everything on your bridal to-do list has been ticked off, including your look of the day, you then realize that you may need to see if your whole outfit gels just the way you want it to. Special concentration should be paid to the bridal hairstyle of the day and how it goes with your wedding dress neckline. Here are some combinations of hairstyles and wedding dress necklines you should take note of:
Top Knot – High Collar
There’s something extremely rich about an embellished high collar dress with no sleeves and a top knot hairstyle. This allows the bride to show off a dramatic hairstyle or a simple knot with the beauty of healthy hair shining through.

Loose Curls - V- Neck
A V-neck wedding dress elongates your body so wearing the hair down will complement the elongated look. Loose curls with a center or side part will provide a nice classic Hollywood sweetheart look when worn with the wedding dress.

Low Bun/All Up – Boat Neck
A boat neck is a high neckline so it’s best to keep the hair in a nice bun to balance the ratio of skin to the material on show. The bride should feel comfortable regardless of the climate; the hair tucked away makes it easier to maneuver and dance through the crowd on your big day. Having your hair down could also make your wedding dress look narrow.

Chignon – Strapless
This is one of the most romantic looks a bride could ever have. The way the hair falls to the side of the face and compliments the skin is reminiscent of a classic look that would fit most people.

Side Swept- Monostrap/Off- Shoulder
A dress that shows one or both shoulders has a deliberate design that you don’t want to cover with your hair. A hairstyle that is packed to one side will work well in allowing your wedding dress to be a star in its own right. It will balance any asymmetrical necklines and won’t get in the way of elaborate details.

Chic Bun/Ponytail- Dramatic Back
Wearing a wedding dress with a dramatic back or backless cut requires a chic bun or updo to not take away from the beauty of it. A nice ponytail of any length will also work well with this dress.
