— Messy bun: A messy bun is another hairstyle that appears effortless. An imperfect bun with some tendrils escaping and a decorative hair pin is both elegant and fun.
— Boho braids: Whether a hairstyle is mostly down and free-flowing or pinned back into a loose bun, adding bohemian style braids can impart whimsy to any look. This hairstyle may be best for informal weddings and to match gowns that are flowing and ethereal.
— Top knot: This style is a practical choice for warm weather weddings, when heat and humidity can attack a polished style. The look is made by winding the hair into a bun at the crown of the head. It can be enhanced with a crown or headband.
— Half-up, half-down: Brides who want their locks down with voluminous waves but without hair in their faces often opt for a half-up, half-down style. This pulls the front portion of hair back and away from the face, which can be braided, twisted or even just loosely pinned, depending on preference.
— Side-swept: This look pulls tresses over to one side, where they cascade in waves over the shoulder. It is elegant and classic.
— Chignon: From the French chignon de cou, which means“ nape of the neck,” a chignon is a wrapped bun hairstyle pinned low on the head where it meets the neck.
While it’ s the bride’ s hairstyle that often draws the most attention, the groom also may want to experiment with hairstyles.
— Pompadour: This style is characterized by a voluminous top that is swept back from the face.
— Quiff: Like a pompadour, this hairstyle also features volume but with natural curls offering a full, defined look.
— Classic side part: This look is classic and polished. A clean parting that is either slightly off from the middle or even deeper on the side completes this look.
— Undercut: This hairstyle features hair buzzed on the sides and back with a longer top.
Everyone can be wedding-ready with classic or trendy hairstyles that complete a finished look.
