Of course you’re thrilled to be marrying your beau/beaux, but getting your hair and makeup done comes close second, no? Wonder if your bridesmaids are feeling the same? They will be if you take a personalised approach to their looks (we’re speaking from experience here). Before you start dreaming about matching updos, bare in mind the length, hair type and style of your individual friends. Our advice would be to steer clear of anything too faddy or fussy. Sure, boho flower crowns may be the wedding trend du jour, but understated ’dos will protect against retrospective cringing. Consider swapping them out for dainty flowers scattered throughout the hair, or do the same with some subtly placed light-catching clips. Pinterest might be awash with fish plaits and elaborate, 100-bobby-pin creations, but just know that there are relaxed options out there. We, for one, are big fans of the undone look. But regardless of what you choose, it’s worth remembering that what works for one may not work for another and who says all your BFFs have to look the same anyway? To help you on your hunt, we pulled together a selection of looks your bridesmaids couldn’t help but love…
