No matter what wedding theme you’ve chosen for your big day, your wedding hair is a huge part of the planning process. Between flowers, bridesmaid's dresses, invitations, food, and everything else you have to plan before your wedding, the last thing you want to worry about is what your wedding hair will look like.

That’s where we come in. From bridal updos to braided wedding hairstyles to flower crowns and loose waves, we have all the expert advice for the hairstyle that’ll be the perfect finishing touch on your beautiful bridal look. Here are a few wedding hairstyles you can choose to match your wedding style.

Braided Wedding Hairstyles

There’s a reason braided wedding hairstyles have stood the test of time when it comes to preferred wedding hair styles: They’re stylish, classic, and can be as simple or as complex as you want them to be. If you work with a hair stylist for your wedding updo, together you’ll be able to find the perfect balance of braids and face-framing pieces to complement your face shape and wedding theme.

Half Up Half Down Wedding Hair

If you have longer hair and want to show off some of your length with loose waves and face-framing pieces, then a half up half down wedding hairstyle might be the right fit for you. These styles are basically exactly what they sound like: Part of your hair, usually the front near your face, will be tied up with pins, flowers, or other hair accessories, while the rest can flow down your back.

Slicked Back Wedding Hair Styles

Though a lot of brides prefer to leave their hair soft and flowing, if you’re a bride who loves a sleeker look, a slicked-back hairstyle might be the one for you. If you don’t want to worry about frizzy or falling hair, these styles that use a lot of gel can take some of the stress out of your day. You can dance the night away knowing that your hair is staying perfectly in place while still looking sleek, stylish, and beautiful.

Beach Wedding Styles

If you’re heading to the beach for your big day—or want a wedding hairstyle that would fit in there—beach waves are the way to go. This style calls for a texture spray all over. Use a curling iron to twice your curls into 1 ¼ inch sections to make for a head full of perfectly messy, beach-blown curls.

Power For The Flower

Who doesn’t love a flower crown? Add little bits of white orchids or other blooms and drape them among twisted chignons. Flowers woven through softly flowing curls will steal the show and leave everyone breathless.

Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair

The one style that never goes out of style are elegant hair extensions. These crown topper hair pieces can make a world of difference for the bride who has thin hair and needs added coverage, volume, and length. Even for those who have a full head of hair, hair extensions can really add to a bridal hairstyle and create the perfect, drop dead gorgeous wedding hairstyle you’re looking to achieve.
