Hollywood actresses on the big screen and television used to dictate the must-have hair trends. The Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry and Victoria Beckham tresses are no longer being asked for on wedding days. Reality show stars like Kim Kardashian, Lauren Conrad and The Real Housewives have become the new fashion icons with makeup and hair trend request from brides. Now, Jersey Shore’s Snooki’s trademark teased crown pouf has made its way down the runway and the wedding aisle this season. This hairstyle can be softened and given a more elegant look while still keeping the voluminous pouf and twisted ponytail.

For destination brides, adding an exotic flower would complement this guidette look and finish the style. Make sure to use L’OREAL Elnet Satin hairspray to hold your hair in place as you and the groom fist pump on the dance floor.
