How To Style A Glamorous Bridal Braid

/

Easily one of the most sought after hairstyles of the bridal season had to be the loose braid! In any variation! To the side, half up, around the crown...you name it, our brides showed us them all as their top inspirations for their wedding day hair!

So naturally, when it came time to photograph some of our new braid-worthy hair accessories we called upon Jayna Marie Makeup and Hair to create an effortlessly glam version we knew our brides would love! Voila!

Now when we say effortlessly glam...we mean with a little effort as there are a few keys to pulling off this look successfully!

First, you will want to get your hands on a set of quality hair extensions at Abantu. Not only do they have an amazing selection, but the staff there really know what they are doing and can help you match up the extensions as close to your natural color as possible.

Secondly, and the most important (we think!) are some fabulous hair accessories! Our choice for this is multiple coordinating pieces artfully placed in a sparkling cascade. What we love about keeping the pieces separate, as opposed to one large long piece, is the versatility it allows your stylist when creating the look. Plus, for future occasions you can choose to wear all or some in a different arrangement or style altogether! Hello, birthdays and anniversaries! We just love it when pieces can be re-worn, don't you?

If you loved this look, we have rounded up all the pieces in our Online Shop for you to recreate it on your own!

Now, I say effortlessly glam...but there is definitely some effort and must haves to get the look!

The first thing you must have are hair extensions! They are the key to creating the perfect balance of length and volume to support this look. We suggest Abantu  as your first stop in shopping for this important purchase. Not only do they have and amazing selection already, but the knowledgeable staff are more than happy to assist in matching up the right style and color for your needs!

Secondly, the right hair accessories...of course! We like using multiple coordinating pieces to create a sparkling cascade. This way your hairstylist has more versatility when creating the look and you can wear as many or as little as you want for another occasion! Hello, birthday and anniversary!

Elsa Corsi

It could be said that Elsa Corsi was destined to become a jewellery designer. Heralding from a long line of Italian shoemakers turned merchants, it was only natural that she inherit a passionate eye and skill to pursue aesthetic beauty. It was in 2006, to celebrate her own wedding that she came out with a dedicated collection of bridal jewellery. Clients were attracted to the vintage technique mastered in the collection and were thrilled to have their own piece of heirloom jewellery. Her bridal and special occasion jewellery has been sought out by the city’s top stylists and fashion editors for photo shoots and Real Brides wearing Elsa Corsi jewellery are regularly featured online and in print in Real Weddings, Weddingbelles, Grace Ormonde and Wedluxe Magazine.
