Weave, pull up, tighten, add an accessory at the end of the work: the usual gestures are no longer enough when it comes to wedding hairstyles. It is the very concept of hairstyle, moreover, that has become anachronistic, out of focus and decidedly static compared to how, in the space of a few years, the ceremonies have evolved.
Yesterday and today: the evolution of bridal hairstyles
If once the most popular option was the chignon, low, very tight and chosen regardless of the dress, the style of the event and the type of hair, worn even by those who had them short with visibly false locks, today the story to tell it is completely (and fortunately) different. Times and desires have changed, the contemporary woman does not want to do anything else by herself on her most beautiful day and chooses only what makes her comfortable.
Confirms this feeling, and underlines its value, Except Fillets, Hair Designer Company of Beauty, that he just presented The Chess Bride, his new Haute Couture collection dedicated to special days. “Red carpet moments” defines them the expert, because, after all, anyone with a lively social life or a particular event on the agenda can indulge in a dream hair look. Weddings included, of couse.
Crops and extensions, a new vision
Traditional harvests resist, but they have changed. «Sometimes we start with the idea of a harvested seed, but the heat and the high humidity of the summer make us desist; In this way, collecting hair often becomes the most popular solution, as long as the choice tells the story of the woman and resembles her », the expert said. The use of extensions has also changed. «They have the advantage of increasing the mass of the hair, but they are not used for the length. What always counts is not to betray one’s image “. If your hair is short, there are infinite solutions, woe to change your skin once, the risk is not to recognize yourself.
The hairstyles are convertible and follow the moments of the day
«The most beautiful thing is there convertibility, a hairstyle that follows the moments of the day. You can completely change, and in this case you need a hairdresser who can quickly change the hair look, or make the changes having already the hair system ». A bun, like this, can melt, like the tension, the puffed tail become semi-collected, to accompany the more carefree movements of the party.
An increasingly requested service. “During the ceremonyafter all, whether it is in the church, in the Municipality or in other locations, there is a more solemn atmosphere, a certain posture, even more slowness, of gestures and movements, an image even more rigid at times, then everything evolves and it is right that the hair follows the same feeling, the one that in recent years has also led to the trend of changing clothes », says Salvo Filetti. «Today, moreover, there are also those who opt for a convertible dress rather than change it» A long dress with clean lines, for example, can have a tulle tail for the church, to be detached when the dances begin.
Dress and hairstyle: the construction of a dream
And it is precisely the dress among the main factors to consider when choosing the right hairstyle. “If the back is very low-cut and maybe it was chosen because of that neckline, do you really want to fill it with hair? If instead of neckline there is little, or in the case of a particularly rich motif, such as embroidery, there will be a need to create a “neck effect” », suggests the hair designer.

The hair and the fabric, between lightness and rigor
Another fundamental factor, to which less attention is often paid, is the fabric of the dress. «A soft embroidery or a wide tulle skirt invite the same softness and“ softness ”for the hair, if instead the fabric is more structured, like that of the mikado sculpture dresses, the hairstyle must also decline in that direction. An idea? “A clean and elegant crop, like the one of Emma, from my latest collection. It refers to the bon ton suggestions of the fifties and sixties. To embellish it, a ribbon that becomes a bow at the nape of the neck: fixes the hair look in the upper part, but at the same time gives the possibility to the tail to sway.
The ribbons could not be more current, also thanks to the Spring-Summer catwalks that brought them back into vogue. From Giambattista Valli at Chanel, a true riot of inspiration. «The macro trend of naturalness continues to assert itself», he confirms Antonio Manna, Salon Director of TONI & GUY Como.
«For bridal hairstyles easy hair looks are preferred, where a lot of work is done on the authenticity of the person emphasizing the natural texture of her hair. Whether they are soft waves adorned with flowers, chignon or ponytails, the must-have of the season are accessories. One of the favorites is there veil, very light and sometimes transparent, of retro inspiration, which returns to make its way into the hearts of brides 2022 ». Spotted among the proposals of the new bridal collection Framesi and on the last Milanese catwalk of Blumarinecurated by Toni & Guy, the veil really has potential that should not be underestimated.
Accessories “not accessories”, an integral part of the hairstyle
Whatever the choice, accessories are details that must decorate with minimalism. They don’t cry out, that’s their secret andmostly, they should not be placed after. «They are born with the hairstyle, an integral part of hair weaving, an inseparable whole», Salvo Filetti points out.
The secret of a perfect bride
Then there is the style of the dress. «If he is rich, one must“ essentialize ”, but without forgetting to add a detail, because otherwise the attention will be focused only downwards; if you wear a more essential dress, on the other hand, yes to a more elaborate hairstyle, but without exaggeration, for the same principle as above: to balance is the right word », explains Filetti.
After all, a solution is only truly successful if you are able to tell a story and not just a part of it. It is the harmony of the whole. «For this reason, the hairstyle must move in space not as a thing in itself but in symbiosis with the wearer. During rehearsals, for example, it is important that the bride-to-be walk and move as well as stay in front of a mirror with a dreamy look. “There are people who live in spaces calmly, different from those who never stand still, or who move in jerks,” continues the expert. “That’s why the hairstyle must follow the movements of the neck. A more complex game of balance than you can imagine, made up of many encounters that were the right ones. When everything fits together, the exclamation is as simple and natural as possible: “what a beautiful bride!” ».
But, behind it, how much work there is.
