So I was perusing bridal hair boards on Pinterest (as you do!) and I thought to myself, do you know what you don't see very often?
Brides with bangs. (Or fringes, as we call them on this side of the Atlantic).
It seems while us gals are fringetastic the rest of the time, as soon as we get engaged, the bangs are banished.
I found this old post Elizabeth put together back in 2011 (great minds!) and I figured it was time brides with bangs got another airing…

Fringed brides rock!
We often see brides with stiff up-dos or big glam curls, when that's nothing like their every day style. But really we just love when brides work an utterly gorgeous, super polished version of their own awesome every day style.
After all you want your other half to recognise you as you make your way down the aisle!
Now while we're not advocating you cut a fringe in the week before your wedding, (please don't do that!) we are saying that if you've rocked your bangs for the duration of your relationship, why not keep them for the start of your marriage too?
Fringes can be just as versatile, and add a cool, relaxed feel to more formal wedding hair styles.
Pair your bangs with a beehive, low pony, ballerina bun, or fishtail plait and you have the makings of totally awesome, entirely beautiful wedding day tresses.
Don't believe us? See for yourself…

Aren't they just fabulous? Do let us know what you think!
I've been in a perpetual state of cutting my fringe and growing it out for the last 10 years, but this one makes me want to get my bangs back in, like, now!
