A low chignon is pure elegance. Adding flowers, whether fresh or really good silk ones, makes it perfect for summer. It’s sophisticated and works beautifully for more formal summer weddings. This one is for my elegant and traditional brides. If you use fresh flowers, ask your florist for durable options like small roses or wildflowers.

Need to keep your neck cool? A high ponytail is chic and modern. You can make it sleek or add lots of texture. It’s fantastic for hotter days. This look is perfect for the modern or minimalist bride.
