The style should be such that the bride should feel comfortable whether it is pulled up or down.
Sometimes, the bride wishes to put half her hair down. There are many combinations and possibilities to keep her hair half up or down. Curls can be done which gives a romantic soft look. Variations to the bun like pleats, twists and plaits can be done. A geometric design will suit the same and it looks bold with silk flowers or ivory flowers to ornament this design.

A half up and half down hairstyle with ringlets gives a perfect gorgeous look. The long curly locks cascading down the back of the bride in an off the shoulder gown looks too good on a wedding day. She should ensure to practice for a few times before the wedding day. Washing the hair the day, before the hairstyle is made would be good idea, as it holds the curls and updo hair styles in a better way.
