Quick Facts

Why Brides Love The Soft Curls

Soft curls give you that effortlessly romantic look that photographs beautifully from every angle. There's something timeless about loose, flowing curls that makes you feel both elegant and like yourself—no stiff, overdone styling that doesn't match your personality. They frame your face gently, enhancing your natural beauty while giving you the confidence to walk down the aisle knowing you look absolutely radiant.

Beyond the dreamy aesthetic, soft curls are incredibly practical for a long wedding day. They hold up beautifully through ceremony tears, outdoor photos, and hours of dancing without losing their shape. They work seamlessly with any veil style, won't feel heavy or give you a headache, and they're forgiving in wind or humidity—giving you one less thing to worry about on your big day.

Prep & Longevity Tips

How To Create A Soft Curls

  1. Prep the Hair

    Prep hair with heat protectant spray and apply curl-enhancing mousse from mid-lengths to ends on damp hair.

  2. Create the Curls

    Using a 1.5-inch curling iron, curl sections away from your face, leaving the last inch straight for a relaxed finish.

  3. Set and Cool

    Clip each curl in place and let cool for 10 minutes, then mist with flexible-hold hairspray.

  4. Soften the Curls

    Gently run fingers through curls to break them up into soft waves, avoiding brushing to maintain texture.

  5. Finish and Secure

    Add accessories or veil, secure any loose pieces with pins, and finish with light hairspray for romantic, touchable softness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do soft curls work for fine or thin hair?

Absolutely! Soft curls actually add volume and dimension to fine hair. Use a volumizing mousse at the roots and tease gently at the crown to create fullness that lasts all day.

Will soft curls hold up in humid weather or outdoor weddings?

Yes, with the right prep they're quite resilient. Use an anti-humidity hairspray and set curls completely before releasing them—this creates lasting hold even in moisture or wind.

Can I wear a veil with soft curls without flattening them?

Definitely! Place the veil comb slightly behind your crown rather than on top of it. This preserves volume and allows curls to cascade beautifully around the veil.

How long before the ceremony should I style soft curls?

Aim for 2-3 hours before to allow curls to set and relax into soft waves. This timing gives you the most natural, romantic look right when you need it.
