Vintage Updos
A vintage or retro updo is a great idea for a wedding, it’s a timelessly chic and elegant option to match many bridal styles and it will last long. An updo can be done on medium or long hair and you may choose various options depending on the length. It can be a finger wave updo, Victorian twists, a curled or twisted updo, a top knot or a low updo. Rock various curls and waves that are fixed and stay in place – this is one of the most traditional ideas. Low twisted chignons are also nice, add a volume on top and voila. Avoid messy looks and hair hanging down, this is not about vintage elegance. Get more sleek and fixed hair, it will also last longer.
