It’s true we’ve spent a good amount of time this Wedding Week dedicated to brides–wedding style parts one and two, what to discuss before saying I Do, how to plan a wedding, and what cocktails to serve at your wedding. But there are definitely a number of other people who are a part of the wedding process and affected by the stress and joys of it all: namely, the bridesmaids. Anyone who has filled these shoes can attest, it’s not always a walk in the park and being asked to stand up comes along with an unspoken demand to spend quite a bit of money. Between shower gifts, bachelorette party expenses, buying the dress and altering it, costs can add up quickly.

So to help curb the cost of standing up in a wedding, we teamed up with an amazing group of stylists and artists in New York City to bring you 5 Quick and Easy Bridesmaid Hairstyles (including video tutorials!) that you can do yourself or with the others bridesmaids. This way you can remove one thing off the list of what you’re spending money on and tackle the task of styling your hair yourself!

The best part is five lovely Everygirl readers volunteered their afternoon to model for us! We have a variety of hair types and lengths, so hopefully there is something for everyone. And believe it or not, our stylists just so happen to collaborate with Little Borrowed Dress for this shoot, not knowing we featured the founder’s career profile yesterday.

And check back later for 10 of our favorite bridesmaid dresses that you actually can wear again (some are even dresses we have worn as bridesmaids)!
