Wedding Hair: Braids

My girlfriends and I are all kind of on a hair changing kick.  We've all been changing our color!  But it got me thinking about trends in bridal hair styles.  We've seen some really dramatic changes in styles (thankfully!) getting away from the mass of fake-y hairspray encrusted curls piled high atop the head!  Brides these days are going for a more natural look, a look that is tradition re-interpreted, a look that celebrates the beauty of simplicity.  Of course I'm talking about braids.  Braids really went out of fashion in the late '90's and into the early 2000's but they are back and the new and interesting formations are just lovely.  Whether wrapped up as a crown or descending loosely down the back, braids are the romantic new hairstyle for your wedding day or for any day!
