A look back at the most popular hairstyles for brides-to-be and the details that can make all the difference.
The bride’s hairstyle is as much a matter of thought as the dress. Loose hair or a messy bun? Accessorized or natural spirit? There are many questions. And if it’s important to stay true to your personality and hair type, certain trends stand out. Gaele Bertoletti, the hairstylist who works especially for the Chosen app, confirms the great current of naturalness, which is very fashionable for several seasons. “The funky side, very bohemian, is always growing. And for some brides, we go even further, because the idea is to keep the spirit of their look on a daily basis… But better,” analyzes she, who developed her wedding experience by participating in the shoots of the creator of Laure de. Elegant wedding dresses. “During the tests, I always start by asking my clients how they do their hair in everyday life. Because above all, what they want (and this also applies to make-up) is to be similar, to be recognized.

A postulate that therefore departs from the focus, which we recycle in a wavelike manner. As well as the lengths, left free. “But as for the high tails that can be claimed, we often work on texture, give it movement. Extra-smooth remains more of a trend reserved for fashion shows,” explains her, who also works behind the scenes at Fashion Week. “For the wedding, we’ll also play on the locks at forehead and temple level to frame the face.”
The lure of attachments
And what about the chignon, which has long been essential in the very curly and elaborate version, before it was lost to braids and other bohemian ties? “It’s coming back, especially in a fairly high position and accompanied by a back braid, for example, to free up the neck and therefore give a more sensual delivery.” The dancer’s bun also offers serious arguments for seducing brides-to-be. “On the other hand, a very high bun on the top of the skull doesn’t always look suggestive. In particular, the groom should be taller. And then it all depends on the spirit of the dress, because it can have a very rock side,” continues Gaele Bertoletti.
As for the braid, it continues to convince, as it offers many options. “There are many different models and we always manage to find the one that best suits the bride’s expectations, but also her hair type.” As the hairdresser points out, it can also allow you to cheat, for example by adding a little volume to thin hair. In any case, the expert recommends the preferred ties in the hot summer weather to free the neck and keep it cooler.

Accessorize to sublimate
If the crown of flowers and straw hats were the heyday of unions in recent years, the veil has not lost its luster. “Even those who tell me they don’t want it finally break with the last shot. They often leave on a short model, but all the same with veil. Or else veil,” notes Gaele Bertoletti with amusement. Among other small details that can complete the hairstyle, there is an ornament or a flower comb. “But often I just ask for baby’s breath. They cost next to nothing and can be incorporated into the bride’s hairdos as well as reminders of the witnesses and/or children of honor. A little trick to lighten the budget, which tends to add up much faster than the bride and groom would like.
