Okay, so you want some wedding hairstyles for the mother of the groom, huh? Well, let me tell you, I’ve seen a few weddings in my time. And the mother of the groom, she’s gotta look good, too! It’s a big day, you know? Big day for her son!
Hair Up or Hair Down?
First thing you gotta figure out is, you want your hair up or down? Some ladies, they like it all up, nice and tidy. Others, they like it down, flowing like a river. Some, they do that half-up, half-down thing. It depends on what you like, what makes you feel good.
- Hair Up: Keeps it outta your face. Good if you’re gonna be dancing or if it is hot, maybe also good if you have a fancy dress.
- Hair Down: Can look real pretty, soft-like. But watch out, it might get in your eyes when you cry, lots of crying at weddings.
- Half and Half: Best of both worlds, I reckon. Some up, some down. Good for any dress, I think.
Fancy Bun Hairstyles
Now, if you go with your hair up, a bun is always a good choice, never wrong. My granddaughter, she loves a good bun, always neat. Keeps all that hair in one place. You can have a high bun, up on top of your head. Makes you look taller, maybe. Or you can have a low bun, down at the back. Looks kinda fancy, I think.
Some of these fancy folks, they call it a “chignon”. Sounds like somethin’ you’d eat, but it’s just a bun, really. A low bun, all twisted up nice. Looks real elegant, especially if you got a dress with a high neck. Keeps your hair from getting tangled up in all them fancy beads and things.
If your hair is short, you can still wear a bun. You might need to add some hair extensions to the bun, that’s some fake hair. That is also an option. Some ladies don’t have much hair, and add some to make a bigger bun. It is very classy and elegant.
Hair Down and Flowy
If you wanna wear your hair down, that’s fine, too. Just make sure it’s all brushed and pretty. You can curl it, make it all wavy. Or you can just leave it straight, if that’s what you like. My neighbor, she’s got real pretty, long hair. Always wears it down. Looks like a movie star, she does. Just make sure it is neat.
And if you got them layers in your hair, you know, like steps? You can do a messy updo, all those layers sticking out. Looks kinda wild, but in a good way. Like you just came in from a walk in the wind, but a fancy walk, you know?
Slicked Back Hair, Huh?
I saw this one fella, he had his hair all slicked back. Looked like he just got outta the shower and never dried it off. But it was all neat, stuck to his head. I guess some folks like that. They say it’s formal. Good for them fancy weddings, I suppose. Goes with them tuxedos and suits, all sharp and pointy. Not my style, but hey, to each their own. The groom can wear it like that too, if he wants to.
What’s Important
But you know what the most important thing is? That you feel good. It’s your son’s wedding, yeah, but it’s your day, too. You wanna be comfortable, you wanna be happy. So you pick a hairstyle that makes you feel like a queen. ‘Cause that’s what you are, the mother of the groom, the queen of the day! Don’t matter if it’s up, down, sideways, long as you like it, that’s all that matters.
Just make sure you use a good hairspray. You don’t want your hair falling apart halfway through the party. That’s no good. Especially when they start throwin’ that rice. Gets everywhere, that rice. In your hair, down your dress. A real mess. But a good hairspray will keep everything in place.
And one more thing. It’s always good to have a test run with your wedding hairstyles before the big day. You want to make sure your hair is perfect for your son’s big day.
And if you have medium to long hair, high bun is a good choice.
So there you have it. Some ideas for wedding hairstyles for the mother of the groom. Hope it helps. And have a wonderful time at the wedding! Don’t forget to dance!
