This is a good choice for a bride or would be fabulous for a school dance. The soft curls are intertwined in a romantic fashion and add such a feminine charm to this traditional look. A large barrel curling iron and setting lotion can help with styling. This would be perfect without a veil or with. It's a lovely style even for a special evening such as Valentines Day or an Anniversary. The fringe that is left out to dangle is a wonderful detail. The blonde highlights stand out here with this light brown color.
