Art Deco Vintage Bridal Hair & Makeup: Bride & Mother of the Bride

March 20, 2024October 19, 2015 by Ruby Deevoy

Vintage bridal hair & makeup is so diverse and never goes out of fashion – there are so many eras with such elegant, classic looks to play with and today’s modern bride can even work with her stylist to take the best bits of her favourite vintage bridal hair & makeup looks and turn it into something truly unique.

Vintage bridal hair & makeup is one of my favourite styles to work with on my clients, it’s so much fun! I adore this 1920s/1930s style wedding dress that one of my brides this year wore. We worked hard on her trial day to find a vintage bridal hair & makeup look that worked for her and made her feel beautiful. We decided upon this gorgeous low bun hairstyle, structured and the back and a little looser at the front for a really romantic edge.

Teamed with a stunning bridal hair accessory and quite natural looking makeup with eyes that pop, this bridal hair & makeup look was absolutely perfect!

From the back of this stunning vintage bridal hair style you can see all of the intricate detail I included to make this look really something special.

This style is a wonderful match for the vintage bridal gown as well, drawing the eye down towards that lovely detail at the back, but adding the the overall effect rather than taking anything away from it.

For the Mother of the Bride, we went for a similarly structured low bun but with just a little less fanciful detail. Again, we have gone for the softer front with a neater back and some height on the crown for added elegance. Check out some more of my low bun hairstyles here!

If you’d like to learn how to do a fabulous 20’s finger wave for your bridal hairstyle, look no further! Follow this tutorial and you’ll be there in no time.

I think that this hair & makeup style is gorgeous. This mother of the bride style would also work just as well for a mature bride and just goes to show that you can look absolutely stunning for your big day, whatever your age

Bridal Beach Hairstyles: Beach Wedding Hair Inspiration

Beach hairstyles on your big day

If you are thinking about getting married on the beach then there are several things that you will need to think about when it comes to choosing your hairstyle. Your look needs to be able to cope with a day in the sun, with the salty air, and when you get all hot and sticky. We have picked five of our top bridal beach hairstyles to give you some inspiration for your seaside celebration.

Although Blake chose to sport her messy braid for the Green Lantern premiere back in 2011 this twisted fishtail is perfectly undone for that beachy look. She has accessorised with a pretty gold hairpin which adds a touch of glamour. Definitely high on the list of great beach hairstyles!

Selena’s loose waves are spot on for our bridal beach hairstyles list and it is ideal if you have a long bob. Remember to consider the neckline of your dress when choosing your style, this particular look would suit a dress with a strapless neckline or if it is sleeveless.

Looking for pretty beach hairstyles for short hair? Think about giving your cropped cut a deep side parting which will enable you to wear a cute hair accessory. A fresh flower will also work well with a beach theme.

Braided hairstyles are synonymous with beach hairstyles and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s is perfect. With the braid being positioned on the side it means that it will feature in the majority of your photos. Make sure with this look that plenty of strong hold hairspray is applied to guarantee that it lasts throughout your celebrations.

You can’t go wrong with a messy bun or top knot as a low maintenance option for your big day. This great beach hairstyle is also ideal if you are off to a hot location as all your hair is kept back off your face and neck.
