Middle Part Wedding Hair Down Look with Pearl Earrings
One of the key advantages of this low-maintenance hairstyle is that it allows you to wear your hair long and loose, while still keeping your tresses out of your face.
That also means you can wear big and beautiful earrings without worrying about them catching on your tresses!

Loose Waves Slicked Back Behind the Ears
The style can be achieved with straight or waved hair. Loose waves starting just below the ear look particularly lovely, and are an easy update on the Hollywood wave look that’s been so popular for the last few seasons.

How's it done? Your stylist parts your hair down the middle. Then they'll take the top section, tuck it behind your ears, and pin it securely.
They might add some texture or a bit of volume at the crown, keeping the front smooth. You can add extra pins, pearls, or sparkles too, if you like. Simple as that – ready for the aisle.
So, is this the look you'll choose for your wedding day?
