As with the gown, the hairstyle should not take any attention away from the bride's face.

The location of the wedding will have an effect on the wedding hairstyle that the bride chooses. Long, loose, romantic curls are perfect for a garden wedding in the day time. However, a formal updo is more appropriate for a wedding in a grand cathedral or a church taking place in the evening.
