6. ’20s-Inspired Headpieces: Old-Hollywood glamour has always been a huge wedding-day trend, so it’s no surprise that ’20s-inspired headpieces are still very much in style. Go full-on bling or tone it down by weaving a just few glittery strands throughout your locks. (Photo via Joe Kohen/Getty Images)
7. Twisted Bun: Try your best to take your eyes off this breathtakingdress and focus on the model’s equally beautiful hair. From far away, it might seem to be a typical bun, but the stylists of Fashion Shenzhen took extra care in giving it unexpected details. (Photo via Fernanda Calfat/Getty Images)
8. Slicked-Back Hair: Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez first brought the slicked-back hair to the public’s attention, and it’s definitely having a moment. If you’ve got a detailed neckline you can’t wait to show off, ask your hairstylist to amp up the product to keep your guests’ focus off your tresses and on your dress.
