The new ParentDish: helping raise kids of all ages
If you're having a Paris wedding, then you must have a hairstyle that matches your theme. There are many updo's and romantic curls that can go fabulously with your dress.

But the best styles are French-inspired. Of course. We're going to recommend three different hairstyles to help you look your best on your wedding day. Then, stay tuned as we later come back and show you how to accomplish these terrific styles.

First, there's always the classic chignon. And there are many great ways to do a chignon. It can be simple and sleek, or wildly complex and amazing. Take a look at some of our examples in the gallery.

Next, you can do a french braid. It's elegant, and if you pull a few strands loose near your face, it's quite romantic as well. Tuck in a few small sprigs of a favorite flower, or some crystals - even a small tiara - and you've just stepped it up to another level.

Finally, think about a french twist. We love the versatility and sophistication. You can smooth a twist back so tight it'll look like you just had a face lift. Okay, so maybe you're not going for that look. But with it smoothed down, and tucked tightly, you can create a formal look. For something slightly less formal, loosen the twist just slightly and pull some tendrils out near your face. And to go even more informal, leave part of your hair untucked at the top and hanging over the back of the twist.

Watch for our how-to post so you can recreate these fabulous styles!
