Which style usually suits you and will have you feeling most comfortable on the day? Are you wearing a veil or other hair accessory? Which style will look best with your dress?

In our most recent edition of The Bride's Tree free online bridal magazine, we featured an incredible styled shoot, which was all about modern glamour.
