Saint Lucia is now a popular choice for destination weddings in the Caribbean. With many venues to tie the knot, a bride has to ensure that her wedding hairstyle ties in perfectly with the location that she chooses.
When thinking Caribbean, most persons imagine a beach wedding, however, St. Lucia has so many different locations to choose from. Below are some tips for wedding hairstyles for the most popular spots in St. Lucia.
Beach Weddings:
One of the best beaches on the island to tie the knot is the Anse de Piton Beach. As the name suggests, the beach is located right near the twin peaks. The shallow waves coupled with the golden sand and the majestic pitons reaching up to the sky, makes this beach the perfect place to say I do.
Hair for Beach Weddings:
According to stylists, a loose curled updo or a classy side swept fish tail braid are perfect for battling the wind and humidity which may come along with beach weddings. Brides can also add in some shell or star decals and some tropical flowers to tie in the theme of the beach, symbolize your destination and combine a timeless classic, with an unstructured playful look.
The Ruins at Pigeon Island:
Nestled in the northern part of the island, the ruins at Pigeon Island is such a romantic and intimate place to proclaim ones love. The stone and brick walls tell the story of the islands rich history, while the spectacular views of both the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean provide the perfect scenery for wedding photos.
Hairstyles for Outdoor Weddings:
While not as humid as the typical beach wedding, the ruins are still a bit windy. According to stylists, the best hairstyles for outdoor locations such as the ruins would be a low loose twist. This hairstyle provides a spin on the classic neat updo by letting a few curls hang loose to frame the face, while still keeping one cool in the warmth of the tropical sunshine.
