What are the best wedding hairstyles for medium length hair?

Medium length hair is wonderfully versatile for a wedding. It is long enough to pin up or braid, but short enough to keep styles neat and lightweight. Soft loose waves are a classic choice, especially if you want a relaxed, romantic look. A low chignon sits elegantly at the nape of the neck and works beautifully with veils or hair accessories. A half-up half-down style gives you the best of both worlds, keeping hair off your face while showing off its length and texture. A side-swept twist is another option, adding interest and framing the face beautifully.

Think about your dress neckline and the overall mood of your wedding. A high neckline often suits an updo, while a strapless or off-the-shoulder dress pairs well with loose waves. If you plan to wear a veil, talk to your hairdresser about how it will attach. Bring photos of styles you like, and have a trial run at least a few weeks before the wedding. Use good quality pins and a strong but flexible hairspray, and keep a small emergency kit with pins and spray for touch-ups.
