PONYTAILS AND PLAITS
I am firmly in the camp who feels strict, lacquered bridal up-dos are looking a little passé and the shift to a more relaxed style feels fresh and more personally authentic. The updated approach for contemporary brides is a gently polished version of their regular styling.
Of course there are always exceptions and many brides will continue to favour a more elaborate look for their big day. The ponytail and plait combos on Giambattista Valli’s Fall Couture runway offer options which are either highly styled or gently refined - the bolder high pony working wonderfully for those keen on a fashion approach up-do whilst the softer low pony will appeal to those preferring a modernised classic .
Both are refreshing, fashionable versions of the traditional bridal styling and perfectly suited to chic brides whichever iteration they covet.
