The ever popular vintage hairstyle is hot for current weddings and this old photograph of a group of brides shows us how to get the look.
The naked trees in the background of this outdoor shot would suggest that the season is early spring or perhaps winter. These four ladies are dressed in long white gowns and each has a traditional veil that is placed on top of the head in true retro style. It was common for woman of this era to wear their short curly hair down and as if they would on a daily basis. The bangs are also short and tightly curled. The neckline of their dresses is modest and a pearl necklace was standard. Shoulder pads and long sleeves were also in. Two of the women are wearing wire framed glasses that are barely noticeable. The flower bouquets are large and have white bows as well. Make up was generally fairly natural looking but bright red lipstick was a must. What fun it would be to copy the romantic style of our mothers, grandmothers, or great grandmothers.

Their daughter sits on their laps in the middle and has a cute little short hairstyle with one side ponytail. Her bangs are cut very short and are curled as well as the sides.

This one gets it's inspiration from decades in the past and what better way to dress it up for any special occasion.
A defined spiral curl frames each side of her face. A side part and a swooped up and over bang keep the strands off of the face. What a beautiful way to style shoulder length hair for holiday parties, school dances, or any formal event. The curl on her right side is formed by holding a curling iron vertically and twisting toward the face while on the left side the same is true however the bangs are curled away and toward the back. Her lovely golden blonde color along with deep red lipstick add to the vintage appeal.
