Wedding Hair Inspiration: The 60s

I recently re-watched Valley of the Dolls, which is a great movie, and one of my favorite books of all time! I was once again inspired by the style of the 60s, especially the hair! It was big (in the good way, not the 80s way), often dramatic, and oh so chic. I've pulled together a few images that I think provide great inspiration for wedding day hair. Some looks could be recreated exactly as they were, and others lend a great starting point for a modernized version of the look. Either way, prepare to enter hair heaven!

This updo on Britt Ekland is to die for! Sleek and stunning. Love the makeup too!
Beauty icon Brigitte Bardot + English fashion plate Jean Shrimpton.

Faye Dunaway in The Thomas Crown Affair.

Raquel Welch + Edwige Fenech. Volume, volume, volume!

Last, but certainly not least, the ladies of Valley of the Dolls. Sharon Tate is a favorite of mine!


Now, if only I could get my hair to look this beautiful everyday!

I'm such a sucker for the early 60s, and there's nothing better than a great mod updo!
