It’s always fun to look to the red carpet for inspiration, especially when it comes to wedding hair style. You want to look like YOU on your wedding day—a positively radiant YOU! So throw away the freeze hold and think elegant, loose and fresh. Here are a few photos from InStyle that would look good on anyone. The softness around the face is sophisticated without being severe, and I like the effortless elegance of each hair style. If I had to choose a favorite, I think I would go for… Natalie Portman’s classic French twist. How about you?

One quick note: if your wedding is outdoors, the wind may be a factor that could ruin your ceremony photos. Maui stylist Dan Sanchez recommends you make an appointment for a trial so you know what to expect on the wedding day. This will give you an opportunity to discuss your location and factors like wind, heat and humidity. Strong sunlight can cause your makeup to look harsh if it’s not a perfect match for your skin tone, so keep it light and fresh! (photos courtesy of InStyle Magazine)
