Add a modern twist to your wedding look by incorporating bold colors or highlights into your hairstyle. Whether it’s vibrant strands woven into your braids or a subtle pop of color, experimenting with hues can make your hairstyle stand out. Coordinate the colors with your wedding theme for a cohesive and visually appealing ensemble.
