So I've already weighed in the my picks for the worst hairstyles for summer weddings. Now it's time to help a girl out with the best ideas for flawless summer hair.

1. Controlled messiness. If you are a fan of Kate Hudson's swept up style but worry that with one drop of sweat, those carefully pinned curls could turn on you, then try something more akin to what Sarah Michelle Gellar did with her golden locks. Braids are the ultimate summer style for brides who want to channel their inner hippie without looking like a crumpled flower. The pieces in the back are loose enough that they can get tucked back in throughout the night without ruining the entire look. And best of all, the hair is kept off the face which means that your glowing skin and glistening eyes will take center stage.

2. Beach-combed curls. Kate Bosworth embodies all that is summer. Her style is always casual and you quickly get the feeling that she'd rather be on the beach then anywhere else. If your hair is naturally straight and can handle a gentle curl, this look is all class.

3. Intentional texture. Here's a way to get volume without welcoming fly-aways. A soft updo that's secured in place with a few bobby pins frames the face without overpowering it. This style is interesting enough that you'll want it photographed from every angle yet doesn't call attention away from your best features.

4. Side-swept bangs. Unlike longer bangs that are more high fashion than they are wedding day appropriate, side-swept bangs like the ones so elegantly arranged by Tyra Banks are more flattering for most brides. I also like the way Tyra's bun is smooth and and perfectly styled to showcase her gorgeous jewelry. This style would suit any frame and any neckline, so long as your tan lines aren't showing!

5. Perfect ponytail. The quintessential summer hairstyle will always be a ponytail and so long as you don't fasten it with a rubber band, this look is red carpet worthy. All the stars are tying back their hair in a high ponytail these days but rest assured, the look with never go out of style. This is fun, flirty and ultra feminine and when done right, anything but casual.
