Bridal Hairstyles For Your Wedding Day
Looking for bridal hairstyles that will make you look stunning on your wedding day? Depending on the texture, length and body of your hair, you should be able to find the hairstyle that will make you say "Aha! That's the one!"... and ideally it will go perfectly with your face shape and dress choice.
Ready to get started? Below are a few of our favorite bridal hairstyles with pictures... from elegant updo's to long flowing strands... find your favorite!
Bridal Updo's
Updo's can be sleek and elegant with straight lines and slick parts... or they can be soft and loose with elegant curls. Here are a few of our favorite variations of the bridal updo.
 |
Low Bun
Romance meets elegance in this movie-star-inspired updo. We love the versatility of this hairstyle. You can part your hair in the middle, to the side, or forget parting it altogether and comb it back. You can have a tight and secure low bun, or try a loose variation with strands dancing around your face. Dress it up with flowers or hair pins. This works beautifully for hair of all thickness and texture and is especially beautiful for brides with long hair.

Traditional Updo
A timeless hairstyle that flatters nearly every face shape. Show off your highlights (natural or not!) when you part your hair on the side and pull it up into a bun, curly cluster or french twist. This is the perfect option for brides with very thin or fine hair as well as those with long, thick hair. It's a style that works for just about anyone with any length veil. Accessorize with a sparkly headband or eye-catching earrings. |

Volume Updo
Though the popularity of the beehive hairstyle has long faded, many brides look absolutely gorgeous in an updo with lots of volume on top. Every piece of hair is sculpted perfectly into place with a sweeping side part and lots of height. This hairstyle works best for thick or course hair. To keep your hair looking soft, avoid using too much hairspray. A tiara or hair decoration is a must for this sophisticated 'do! |
Half-Up Hairstyles
Looking for a beautiful hairstyle to wear your hair partially up on your wedding day? Half-up hairstyles are incredibly beautiful! Check out these hairdo's for ideas.
 |
Short And Sweet
Who needs hair extensions when you have beautiful, short hair? Add a little styling mousse and work through your hair to prep it for styling. Pull the front pieces back in a headband, small clips or bobby pins. This lovely style works great for short hairstyles of all different types and textures. Soft flowers and big, bold earrings make this wedding hairdo simply stunning! |
 |
All Curls
Go curly! Whether it's completely natural or the work of a curling iron, bouncy curls are irresistible for many brides. Have your hairstylist pull half of your curls up into a clip (thin hair) or high bun (thick hair) with some strands hanging down. Be sure to pick out a few curls from the top to drape around your face too. This style can be parted in the middle or on the side, depending on your face shape. |
 |
Swept Away
Long, flowing hair is beautiful with soft curls pulled half up into a clip. We love the whimsical look of this romantic hairstyle! For thick hair, add volume in the front by pushing the hair slightly forward before clipping. For fine hair, twist the sides of your hair back away from your face and hold in place with bobby pins. Add flowers to your hair to make it even more elegant. |
Loose Styles
Let your hair down on your wedding day! Many brides opt for the very hair style their groom has fallen in love with over the years... their natural look. Here are a few of our favorite looks for leaving your hair down on your wedding day.
 |
Polished Release
Get a fresh trim before the big day, and let your hair display its natural beauty for all to see -- unrestrained by clips, combs and bobby pins! Curl the ends to give your hair a finished look, spray lightly with hairspray to set the look, and voila. You can even add a simple headband and fancy earrings to dress it up a little without losing the simplicity of this beautiful style.

 |
100% Natural
Forget all the glitz and glam. Let your hair be free on your wedding day... free to drape over your shoulders... free to fly in the wind... free to slip between the groom's fingers! Wear a crown of wildflowers, or tie ribbons in your hair for added elegance. Who says you need hairspray to have beautiful hair on your wedding day? |

|
TIP: Wash your hair a night or two before the wedding instead of that day to make your hair more manageable when styling and to reduce flyaways. Wear a button-down shirt to your hair appointment to ensure you don't ruin your perfect wedding hairstyle when undressing.
