1920s Wedding Hairstyles

Create a special look reminiscent of the 1920s for your wedding day.


If you're having an old fashioned wedding representing the 1920s era, choose a hairstyle that is very typical of that time period. Women such as Clara Bow and Louise Brooks exemplified the glamor of the '20s with their flapper-style hairdos. Keep to the theme of a vintage wedding by going all out with a hairstyle that will bring back the Prohibition days.


The Bob


The most famous hairstyle of this era was the bob haircut. It's a very short, face-framing style that is shorter in back and angled on the front and sides. If you already have short hair and want to commit to this style, it is the style that most people associate with the 1920s with. You can wear a bob hair style wavy or straight, depending on your preference and natural hair texture. Both ways were popular during this time. You can also imitate a bob by pulling long hair back into a bun at the nape of the neck and framing the face by loosening the hair from around the face, making it appear that you have short hair.


Bangs


If you're not sure about making a drastic haircut decision for your wedding day, consider adding bangs to your already existing hairstyle or even purchasing some clip-in bangs. Most 1920s hairstyles incorporated bangs that were straight across the forehead and fairly short. Adding bangs could bring your look back to the 1920s without losing your existing look.


Clips and Bands


Women of the 1920s accessorized their hair quite a bit. Headbands were the most popular hair accessory, and women wore them around the head sweatband style, not on top of the head as most women do today. These headbands frequently had a feather or some other embellishment on them. You can also use an ornate sequin hair clip that has sparkly rhinestones or a flower design. Curl your hair in ringlet style curls and pin it back with a large satin bow or clip.
