I recently had the pleasure of working with Kate Ignatowski and Little Vintage Rentals on a story for The Everygirl about how your bridesmaids can DIY their wedding day look! It was so much fun and I was so happy with the results, enjoy!

This is such a lovely collaboration — I love that you teamed up with Kate Ignatowski and Little Vintage Rentals for The Everygirl feature, and that you included video tutorials alongside the styles. That’s such a thoughtful touch, because “DIY bridesmaid hair” often sounds easier than it actually is, and having a video to follow makes it genuinely achievable. The photography is gorgeous, too — it makes the whole thing feel like a real celebration rather than just a styling demo.
I also really appreciate that the focus is on styles bridesmaids can actually do themselves. So many hair roundups feature elaborate looks that require a professional, and that’s just not realistic for most wedding parties getting ready together in a hotel room. The fact that you worked with real vendors and real bridesmaids to test these looks makes the whole post feel trustworthy and practical.
One thing I’d love to add to the conversation: the mother of the bride is often in the same boat as bridesmaids — she wants something elegant that photographs beautifully, but she also needs to be comfortable enough to enjoy the day (and dance!). My mom spent weeks stressing over her hair for my sister’s wedding, going back and forth between a low chignon and a soft half-up style. I eventually put together a guide to mother-of-the-bride hairstyles — 40 ideas for 2026, organized by dress neckline, face shape, and wedding style. It covers the exact same practical ground your post does: styles that work with different hair lengths and textures, plus accessory ideas and trial-run advice. If any of your readers are also helping their moms find “the one,” I hope it might be helpful: https://www.cosyjewelry.com/news/mother-of-the-bride-hairstyles-a-208.html
