Looking for a quick and easy way to create a formal up do? We can show you how in a few simple steps! You can also watch a video tutorial of this style.

Here we have Becca; she has gorgeous hair and needs some up do ideas to make her wedding photos special.

If you have someone with a lot of hair like Becca you need to start by placing the back sections of hair in pony-tails. If you want more volume on top you would back comb the hair prior to putting it up.

Next put a touch of pomade in the remaining hair. Take a section of hair underneath the bottom pony-tail and place it across the head, securing it with a bobby pin.

Do the same on the other side.

Start taking sections of hair and make loop shapes, securing these with bobby pins as well. It works best to tame fly-aways with a touch of hair spray along the way.

Continue the loop design around the head, checking symmetry along the way.

After you have completed the back section, take some sections from the front, pull back loosely to create volume on top and secure.

Do you have the advantage of having long, swooping bangs that can be shaped like Becca has? You can use these to create a wonderful, elegant curve to this up do by securing all the bangs to one side.

Now, don’t forget to use plenty of hair spray. This style has to hold through hours of weather, mingling, dancing and photos!

Isn’t she gorgeous? Who wouldn’t want to look like this on their wedding day?
