Bridal Hair: Vintage Waves Oh I do love vintage waves for special occasions…especially weddings! {I’d wear my hair Rita Hayworth style everyday if my hair could handle it!} A bride with glossy, vintage waves just screams Hollywood glamour.

I personally feel that this style is so dramatic that it’s best to keep hair accessories simple ~ no big statement pieces. Birdcage or Mantilla veils would hide those beautiful, defined curls around the face so I’d go for a flyaway, pouffy veil or longer chapel veil ~ if any. The image below was in my inspiration folder when I was planning my own wedding ~ I think this model bride looks absolutely stunning in her Louise Selby vintage esque, slim fitting, lace dress with her soft waves styled to perfection by Sev of Hepburn Collection. Onto the tutorial… {Tutorial images via The Beauty Department}
