A funny thing happens when most women get engaged…their hair instantly starts growing. It’s as though a nerve receptor is triggered the moment that ring hits their finger that sends pulses of panic straight to the hair follicles.
The thing is, a lot of you look AMAZING with short hair! It’s your style of choice and the way that most people think of you. Yes, you want to look glamorous and princess-like on your big day, but you also want to look like YOU.
Believe it or not, but there are so many beautiful ways to style short hair for a wedding. Think finger waves, sparkly clips, tiaras and headbands. Here are just a few places to take some inspiration for short wedding hair:
The Red Carpet
Think about it. If Michelle Williams, Halle Barry, Natalie Portman, Winona Ryder, Meg Ryan, Carrie Mulligan and Reese Witherspoon can all make short hair look fabulous on some of Hollywood’s biggest nights, so can you on your big day.

The Roaring ‘20s
There’s something wildly seductive about a well-placed pin curl. Take a cue from the Flapper days and embrace this incredibly romantic look. You can even jazz it up a bit (HA! Get it? Jazz?) with some sparkle or feathers.
