If your hair is short, you might think your options for wedding hair styles are limited. After all, most bridal hair magazines feature romantic up dos and rivers of cascading curls. But you can have a lot of fun getting your short hair ready for the big day.
If you normally wear your hair straight and close to the head, then try something different. Get your stylist to add some waves or curls. Break out the molding clay, putty or strong hold hair spray. Give your hair extra volume and lift. Separate the strands. Feathers, beads, or flowers woven through the strands create delightful eye candy.
Sometimes a change is all you need to feel glamorous and gorgeous for the day. But if you just have to have long flowing tresses on your wedding day, there are always extensions.
Just remember that one of the greatest benefits of short hair is minimal styling time required. So instead of fussing over your hair on the morning of the wedding, you'll be ready (and relaxed) before anyone else!
Another popular retro style is the neck bun, where hair is slicked back, fastened at the nape of the neck, and poofed into a soft, sleek shape. A few sprigs of baby's breath, a jeweled comb or barrette are the only icing needed on this cake.
Alternatively, the lengths can be arranged and pinned in a multitude of loose loops framing the back of the head, reminiscent of a Greek goddess.
Shoulder length hair can also be swept into an up do by an experienced stylist who knows how to keep the shorter wisps from slipping out. And having a few tendrils curled and hanging loose is an incredibly romantic look. The half-up half-down style is a nice mix of casual and elegant that's perfect for bridesmaids.
Another dramatic look for medium length hair is braids that start at the front and end in a bun or arrangement of curls at the back of the head.
Take, for instance, the ballerina bridal hairstyle. All hair is pulled back off the face into a tight pony then arranged into a controlled bun with a ribbon around its base for decoration.
Simple, poetic and graceful. While up dos will always be popular with brides, this year's loose, gentle curls dominate the bridal hair scene. One suggestion: create abundant waves and curls throughout the hair lengths, arrange some of it high on the head and allow the rest to drape naturally across the shoulders with tendrils carelessly falling at the sides.
Finally, affix a few simple blossoms around the base of the uplifted section. Tiaras and veils are perennial favorites but many modern brides are opting instead for partial veils, jeweled hair combs, real or artificial flowers, vintage headpieces, ribbons, lace and other adornment

Medium Length
Today's style mavens favor the '40s look for mid length hair - sleek, shiny, with a gentle wave that communicates femininity a la Grace Kelly. Pair that with a minimalistic hairpiece, veil or feather fascinator, and you have a retro look that will rock your 21st century wedding.Another popular retro style is the neck bun, where hair is slicked back, fastened at the nape of the neck, and poofed into a soft, sleek shape.

Longer hair
How would we sum up bridal hair for summer ? Feminine. Romantic. Informal. And long hair makes it easy to bring that look to life.Take, for instance, the ballerina bridal hairstyle.
