Braided bun, braided ponytail, wavy lengths… 2023

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.

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.

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.
