Once you’ve decided on the dress, the next step is choosing how you want to wear your hair on the big day. To help you get started, here’s a list of wedding hairstyle trends for 2013 as well as some trends you shouldn’t attempt.
 Do The Loose Updo—feminine, beautiful, timeless. (Style Me Pretty) |
 Don’t The too tight, headache-inducing, I’m-either-going-to-a-business-meeting-or-a-sideways-bun-convention look is too uptight for your wedding day. (StylesNew.com) |
 Do Fishtail braids can be incorporated into an updo or a wispy side braid. Just be sure to find a stylist that knows what they’re doing. (Studio 417 Salon) |
 Don’t Braided pigtails tend to look too girlish, especially when tied with bows that resemble something from the accessory line of Little Bo Peep. (ProjectWedding.com) |
 Do Accessorize with a delicate flower that’s perhaps accented in beads or jewels for a little added sparkle. (Belle the Magazine) |
 Don’t Don’t let your head be a flower. (LahoriPoint.com) |
 Do Allow some wispy pieces to naturally be separated from your updo. (LongHairstylesHowTo.com) |

 Do The side ponytail can be a fun, easy and polished look for the big day, especially when worn with the right dress and accessories. (Style Me Pretty) |
 Don’t Ponytails should look effortless but not so effortless that it appears that you just popped out of bed and said, “Ok I’m ready; let’s do this thing.” (StyleCraze) |
