Bridal Hair Trends for SS-2011

When we started thinking about this article we thought back to the Bridal Runway show of Carolina Herrera and we thought she was really on top of a very hot hair trend for the coming wedding season and she took it right from a classic look that and R&B Icon Billie Holiday use to wear.  Which is the classic Chignon with beautiful flowers as accent details to this classic look!  Ms. Billie Holiday was known for this look and everyone knew that it was her just from the silhouette of her hair.

Looking at the runway show we noticed that Carolina Herrera up-dated this classic look, by not having it so structured as what Billie Holiday once wore.  We noticed that Old Hollywood is making a major come back when it come to hair trends.

With these two looks from the runway of Carolina Herrera you can see that she has lowered the Chignon's and has made them free flowing on the top of the head and not molded.  We even noticed that some of the top celebrities have also opted to rock the classic Chignon for many special occasions and the most popular had to be Katherine Heigl with her Wavy up-do Chignon, Jennifer Lopez and Paula Patton.  We have to say these 3 starlets really know just how to rock this look and it gives such a timeless look of beauty and elegance when women where real ladies.

We started thinking of how to modernize this look and got a few ideas.  Most people wear this look with a feeling of old world but, what can you do to up-date it just a bit more?  The hair is more or less drawn away from the face but then you can also have it tousled slightly and on the face more. Add a different kind of hair embellishment such as feathers, a net or maybe you're the type of woman that loves bling!  You have to make this look your own and have the confidence to rock it the way that you see and feel fits your personality best.  Here are a few modern twist to the classic Chignon:

 Maybe you like the classic look from the 1950's then here is a very elegant look at the chignon that adds a little height to you and has the full-look of that. Both styles are with a more modern edge and you will make a real statement with this hair style.  If you decide to go with this look you should also know that your gown should also fit this theme and don't take away from the elegance that is offered for this theme.  If you are going for old Hollywood then do it all the way from the invitations, gown, suits for the groomsmen think of the venue and most importantly the atmosphere!  Give your guest the timeless beauty of this time even offer them a classic cocktail from this error.  We think it will go over very well! 

Enjoy this look and make sure you do your homework, be adventures and edgy with it but remember this is a classic and sophisticated style.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on this article!
