Sure, you could muster up hundreds of dollars to have you hair done by a professional hairstylist on your wedding day, but why do so when you can do just as great a job on your own (or with the help of a friend)?

Do your already wedding budget-pressed wallet a favor by checking out this bridal hairstyling video. You'll learn how to create an elegant loose wedding day chignon that's simple, quick, and gorgeous.

In this video, Michael Angelo, founder/owner of Wonderland Beauty Parlor in NYC, creates an elegant chignon that you (or your mom) can easily DIY. All you need are bobby pins, a rubber band, a curling iron, and some sculpting product. Add a special touch with clips or flowers.

What's the appeal? You'll look more natural — and the hairstylist is with you the entire reception should any strands fall. Not to mention, more money for the things you do want (expensive booze).
