For spring, beauty looks showcased on runways were vast and varied running the gamut from colourful lips, to wet-look hair and glittery metallic eyes. While all trends don’t translate into wedding-day-appropriate looks, there are some, which are perfect—here three we’re all about.
The red carpet at this year’s Golden Globes didn’t rock our socks off, but the beauty looks (hello red lips!) and hairdos in particular definitely did. Here is our top five best tressed list and why we think they are ideal for your wedding day.

For lovely wedding locks it’s important to pick a ‘do that matches your personality, gown, and existing hairstyle. The easiest way to have your tresses looking extra pretty on your big day is to accentuate them with a unique hair accessory. We’ve collected 32 of our favourite budget-friendly hairpieces (some are under $10!) from over-the-top flower barrettes and stunning hairbands to simple pins and rhinestone combs. These hair accessories work for long or short hair, up or down ‘dos, and every wedding theme from elegant to whimsical.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS: MARGARET, STEFANIE AND NAZ.
Finding a hairstyle that suits your dress but still feels natural is a huge bridal beauty consideration. Will you opt for a wispy effortless look, an elegant updo, or a trendy braid? We want to know which sort of style you’re considering for your wedding and why you chose it.

Good luck!
If you’re leaning towards a relaxed rustic celebration an overly sleek and structured hair style just won’t do on your wedding day. Instead, try an easy-breezy style that won’t look over-done and won’t require touch-ups as you dance the night away. We looked to Hollywood for the best in effortless updos and found romantic easy-to-maintain braids and beautiful wispy chignons — perfect styles for any laidback bride’s walk down the aisle.
Once you’ve finally settled on a dress the next challenge is finding a hairstyle that will complement it. Hollywood can be a great source of inspiration when you’re looking for glamorous ways to wear your locks. From wispy effortless looks to polished braids and pinned up curls, we found four updos that are just as appropriate for a walk down the aisle as they are for the red carpet.
