Retro Bridal Updo

This updo is structured with an old fashioned appeal and a pompadour-ish edge.

Bride

This style has 3 distinct sections with the top twisting up into one big pin curl, the sides pull up and meet in the middle at the top, and the back is brought up and secured with a hair accessory that matches the brunette hair color. This bride has no veil and a strapless gown. This one is very ornate and somewhat vintage with a 1940's feel. It would be a lovely choice for a themed wedding. The groom could join in the fun with a matching pompadour-ish look.

The length? Hair extensions maybe? This is very possible. A large barrel curling iron held vertically and winding sections around the outside of it and toward the front help to get this look. Her bright blue eyes, dark eyebrows, and red lipstick add to her overall appeal. This photo of her was taken at G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Los Angeles Premiere.
