Or you can go for a simple, beaded headband to give off a retro vibe.
Simple, Open Hairstyle
Of course, you can always go for a completely open hairstyle. With an oper hairstyle, you can either straighten your hair or style it with soft, large curls. Make sure that you use a good amount of hair spray so that the hair stays set and doesn’t get ruffled. The bride looks beautiful in red and gold with a mid-parted hairstyle and a round maang tikka.
Side Parted Hair
A side-parted hairstyle, slightly puffed goes great with a gown and makes you look angelic.
Or you can go for a larger sideways puff with the all the hair brought over one shoulder. Accessorise it with pearls and beads to complete the look.
Semi-braided Hairstyle
This gives you the advantage of an open hairstyle while ensuring that hair is neatly kept away from your face. You can style it with flowers at the bottom of the braid and style your hair in soft waves.
Accessorised With Flowers
If you want to go all out, then this one is for you. This floral dupatta looks quite ethereal. The only issue you may face that you may find the flowers too heavy, so try this out earlier. Also, ensure that the flowers are tightly pinned in place, or they may come off.
Braids & Curls Combo
This is one of the most trending styles right now. The bride here has styled using different sizes and styles of braids. It is great how a central messy braid is followed by two smaller braids. And the great thing is that the entire hairstyle has been styled without any accessories.
While open hairstyles are beautiful, there are a few things which you have to keep in mind. If you are using a heavy shawl, then you need to go for a bridal bun. So opt for this for one of the pre-wedding events or if you are using a light shawl. Also, open hair is a bad idea for windy venues and outdoor summer weddings.
