Hairstylists have perfected many ways of transforming long hair into faux bobs. They’re not only glamorous but the optimal style if you’re having a 1920’s themed wedding. They also look great if you’re wearing a long-sleeved or sheath dress.

Wavy hairstyles are lovely whether you’re getting married in a ballroom or on a beach. A tousled, wind-swept look embodies beauty, grace, and a carefree attitude all in one.

You can wear full-blown waves without anything else getting in the way. Or, you can clip your waves to one side and channel your inner mermaid.

Messy Updo

Looking to strike a balance of chic and mess with your wedding hairstyle? Look no further than a messy bun!

Whether you pull the bun up high or down low, this look suits formal and casual weddings alike.

And there are so many variations of how to pull one off. Some brides twist their buns and loosen them to add volume. Others let strands of curls flow in front of their faces and from the bun itself.

The bottom line? A messy bun is a romantic style that’s becoming more and more timeless every year.

Fairytale Braid

Are you a bit more on the bohemian side? Or, do you want to look like an elvish princess on your wedding day?

Fairytale braids are sometimes called waterfall braids. And that’s because these braids are more free-flowing.

Brides who wear this look often curl their hair and braid it into one big, thick braid. Other brides create small fish braids and curl the rest of the hair. Or, they pull their back into one big, loose fish braid.

To complete this style, add flowers that weave in and out of the braid.

Bouffant Wedding Hairstyles

French actress Brigitte Bardot is still known today for her trademark bouffant hairstyle. While her bouffant was on the messier side, you can channel this style in a more elegant fashion.

The bouffant requires a lot of teasing and volume in the upper sections of the hair at the roots. Then, the rest of the hair simply falls down with a bit of wave or curl to them.

For weddings, brides can neatly pull the upper section of their hair back into a pin. That way, they can push it up back and create a high-volume illusion.

If you have long locks with side bangs, the Brigitte Bardot inspired bouffant may be the style for you.
