Finding the perfect hairstyle can be an anxiety-ridden task on any day but it is especially nerve wrecking for any bride-to-be on her big day.

With the third feminist wave, Millennials have been chopping off their long locks of hair and dying it all colors of the rainbow. Many Brides that are not afraid of hair dye stick to pastel colors for their wedding. There is no unofficial rule that your hair has to be pastel-colored but it is a current trend amongst millennial brides. If you happen to be a bride that doesn’t care for traditions for tradition’s sake, any hair color is an option to consider. Flower crowns, which could be made as a DIY bridal party activity with your bridesmaids as a bonus, are very flattering against uniquely colored hair. Another fashionable trend is to dye your hair with multicolored pastel hair dye for a whimsical appeal.
6. Curly Short updo
