Alternative hairstyles for South Indian bride?

trito · May 14, 2014

I'm getting married in August. We're having a fairly traditional South Indian (Andhra) wedding. I haven't decided what to wear, but it will probably be a kanchi silk sari. I'm not very excited about having usual bridal hairstyle with a long braid and hair extensions. I just don't think it will suit me.

I don't mind wearing flowers in my hair (I would love to, actually), a tikka, etc. I just don't want the long false braid. My hair is shoulder length now, but I can grow it a little in the next few months.

Any ideas on alternative hairstyles that go with a South Indian look? If you have links to pictures, that would be particularly awesome.

Why don't you have an updo, put your hair up in a nice bun with flower drapping down the side. Or do the traditional puff, ifyou want some volume in front & have a bun or french twist in back

Agreeing with Ammulur
If its reception you can go for any elegant/stylish hair dos,since its once for all auspicious time of your life,I would suggest you to go for the traditional hair style,BUT WITH LITTLE variation.
