Your wedding hairstyle doesn’t have to “match” your dress, but it should complement it.
Certain necklines pair beautifully with specific styles. And when everything flows together, the result is effortlessly elegant.
Here’s a guide to help you choose the right hair look for your neckline.
1. Strapless or sweetheart neckline → almost anything goes
This open neckline is incredibly versatile. Whether you go up, down or somewhere in between, it all works.
💡 Try: loose waves, Hollywood glam, soft chignons, or half-up styles.
Bonus tip: add statement earrings or a hair accessory to balance the exposed neckline.
2. V-neck or plunge neckline → styles with structure
A plunging neckline elongates your frame, so your hair should balance that length without overwhelming it.
💡 Try: low buns, soft updos with face-framing tendrils, or textured ponytails.
Avoid heavy side parts or large curls that hide your décolletage.
3. High neck or halter neckline → up and elegant
With a higher neckline, the focus is on the structure of the dress. Hair should stay off the shoulders to show it off.
💡 Try: low twist buns, ballerina buns, or modern braided updos.
This is also the perfect style for statement makeup or bold brows.
4. Off-the-shoulder or bardot → soft and romantic
This look oozes romance, so keep your hairstyle soft and textured.
💡 Try: tousled waves, loose ponytails, or half-up braided styles.
Avoid tight topknots or styles that feel too severe.
Don’t overthink it
You don’t have to follow rules rigidly, but knowing what works can help you feel more confident when you narrow down your style.
Your artist will guide you during your trial, taking your dress, hair type and personal taste into account.
