Short answer
The best wedding hairstyle is one that suits your face shape, hair type, dress neckline and the weather. It should feel like you, stay secure all day, and not need constant fixing. Try a few options in a trial before deciding.
There is no single best hairstyle, because what works for one person may not work for another. Start by thinking about your dress. A high neckline often pairs well with an updo, while a strapless or off-the-shoulder dress can work with loose waves or a half-up style. Consider your hair type. Fine hair may need extra volume or a textured updo, while thick or curly hair might suit a relaxed bun or a braided style. Think about the season and venue. An outdoor summer wedding might call for an updo to keep hair off your neck, while a winter church wedding could handle loose curls. Also think about how long you will wear it. You will be dancing, eating and hugging people, so a style that stays put is more important than one that looks perfect in the mirror. Updos and half-up styles tend to last longer than fully loose hair. But if you love your hair down, that is fine, just bring extra pins and a small spray. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident. A trial with your stylist lets you test a few looks and see how they photograph. Bring pictures, but be open to suggestions based on your hair.
