Half Up and Half Down Hairstyle, by Jaime Kreit

Half up/Half down is the hottest new style! All brides and bridesmaids are very into it for 2008. Brides are wearing their hair pulled back piece by piece to resemble a loose French braid, but with pinned curls, while bridesmaids are only getting the top pulled back with loose flowing curls hanging down. That is definitely the trend! A lot of brides have veils, which will never go out of style… but the newest hair accessory, believe it or not, is a bracelet! Brides are purchasing elaborately decorated bracelets and using them like tiaras. It’s a great idea - bracelets are a beautiful accessory and are much easier to work with than a standard tiara. Bracelets are more flexible and conform to the style and head shape much easier.
