On your wedding day, every little thing counts, and your hair is no different. You can show off your style and attitude in so many ways when you have long hair. What you do with your hair, from stylish knots to loose waves, is going to define your wedding look. I’ve rounded up these 15 beautiful hairstyles that are meant to inspire you and help you choose the best one for your big day.
Here Are 15 Popular Bridal Hairstyles for long hair
1. Vertical Bun
A vertical bun has been around for a long time. It’s clean and classy and great if you want to keep things simple or classic. Make it even more “wow” by adding a veil or pearl pins. It’s very easy but very pretty.
2. Romantic Loose Waves
Loose wave hair consists of tight curls that are huge in size. They have a lot of volume and body and are ideal for someone who is looking for a fuller look.
Loose waves are such a romantic choice, aren’t they? Pair them with soft bridal makeup, and you’ll have a look that’s effortlessly dreamy and perfect for the big day.
3. Half-Up, Half-Down
It’s the best of both worlds. You look put-together with an updo, but you can wear some of your hair down to show off your long locks. Simple waves and a sparkling clip will make you look beautiful.
4. Braided Crown
Imagine walking down the aisle with a knotted crown that feels straight out of a fairytale. Pair it with flawless wedding makeup, and you’ll look as magical as you’ve always dreamed.
5. Side-Swept Curls
For glam, side-swept curls are a must. You can use a stylish clip or comb to hold your curls to one side. This style looks great with skirts that only have one shoulder.
6. High Ponytail
You can wear ponytails to a wedding, right? Modern, sleek, and in style, a high ponytail is the way to go. Curl the ends and add volume to the crown for a look that is both bold and wedding.
7. Chignon
A modest look of grace is a chignon. The bun is low and tucked in. It looks good without being too done up. If you want a more simple look, you can add a shiny comb to dress it up.
8. Waterfall Braid
A waterfall braid looks great on your hair. The result of this style is soft and lovely like water falling from a tree. If you wear your hair free, you’ll look beautiful all the time.
9. Straight and Sleek
If you want to look clean and up-to-date, wear your hair straight and smooth. For a shiny look, add a shiny oil. It looks stylish and easy with a middle part.
10. Hollywood Waves
Is anyone up for some old Hollywood glitz? Waves with structure are classic and always look good. This look looks great in dresses that look old and have bright lipstick.
11. Floral Accents
Adding fresh flowers to your hair is such a simple way to elevate your look, and it pairs beautifully with professional wedding makeup to give you that naturally radiant vibe.
12. Messy Updo
Make it messy, but make it wedding-worthy. You can look like you “just threw this together” with a messy updo. It looks great with face-framing strands and is great for hippie or rural events.
13. Fishtail Braid
If you have long, thick hair, fishtail braids look especially beautiful and complicated. It can look tight and put together, or you can pull it apart for a more laid-back, bohemian look.
14. Loose Bun with Face-Framing Strands
It looks so dreamy to wear your hair in an open bun with a few soft pieces around your face. It’s sweet, easygoing, and goes with any wedding style. You’re ready to go. Just add a hat or some small trinkets.
15. Twisted Half-Up
It looks so dreamy to wear your hair in an open bun with a few soft pieces around your face. It’s sweet, easygoing, and goes with any wedding style. You’re ready to go. Just add a hat or some small trinkets.
