Sometimes simple is the answer to a perplexing question such as: how should I style my bridal ponytail?

Bridal Ponytail

This super easy updo that you can do yourself, is just as easy as an everyday hairdo. The strands are pulled back and the gathered in the middle of the back of the head. A section of hair is used to wind around the ponytail and act as a tie or embellishment that adds more interest and fun. She has left out some fringe or bang in the front that has been straightened with a flat iron. This brunette bride has chosen no veil and her dress has very thin spaghetti straps. She is sitting and leaning forward with her hands crossed so that you can see the top of this style very easily. The length is medium but the same can be done with longer or shorter locks.

The top is randomly curled which makes the bangs look super short and full of volume. The sides are slicked back with pomade and attached in the back with bobby pins. There is just a fringe of hair on the neck that can be seen from the front. She is wearing a satin black dress with gathered sleeves. Her nails are neatly polished.

This is a great updo to wear with a short and sassy party dress like Kelly Brook at Arqiva British Academy Television Awards 2012.

Kelly Brook

She has dark brown hair with lighter brown highlights. The strands are pulled straight back for a bang-less look and they are secured at the top of the crown. The bun is big, messy, and bouffant-ish for a retro 60's appeal but with an edgy twist. If one was missing the long hair needed to make this one work, then investing in a hair piece to plop on top and pin into place. Her party dress is full of black lace over pale pink fabric. It is strapless and fitted down just past the waist with a ruffle skirt that hits above the knees. She is carrying a trendy blue clutch!
