Choosing your bridal hairstyle ideally comes down to several things: your dream look, your face shape, your dress and neckline, the weather, the number of guests (and hugs), the time of day, and your venue, among others.
So why choose an updo? Like any hairstyle, it can be personalized — face-framing pieces up front, sleek or soft or messy texture, the direction of the pinning for dimension and visual interest, and more.
My main reasons to recommend one: staying cooler, and having the freedom to move, hug, and dance without worrying about your hair falling apart. Especially in hot weather, keeping your neck free of hair can genuinely change how comfortable your whole day feels.
