Perhaps you and your future spouse have decided to start crossing off the items on your wedding checklist one by one. Wedding attire is typically the final or second-to-last item on a bride and groom’s to-do list. If you’re the lucky bride about to tie the knot, you may want to give some thought to your wedding attire sooner rather than later. 

It’s not simply the dress that the bride has to think about and choose out. The hair and makeup have a role as well. Well, let’s face it: there is an almost infinite variety of wedding hairdos to choose from. Wedding hairstyles can be as simple as elaborate as you like, and everything in between. So many different alternatives for the bride’s hair! We can’t say that we’re surprised.

Care For Your Hair Before the Wedding 

The time leading up to the wedding is a wonderful chance to get your hair in tip-top shape. Whether you want long, romantic curls or a short, modern pompadour, both styles require the same thing: appropriate hair care before the wedding. The steps to maintaining the health of your hair may appear daunting, but that’s where a professional stylist comes in. Sought the advice of professional hairstylists on how to prepare your hair for the wedding and beyond. (Because who wouldn’t want beautiful tresses all year?). 

Getting a Haircut Before Wedding 

Regardless of hair type, regular haircuts prior to the wedding are essential. Many clients desire long hair, but they are unaware that the key to healthy hair, whether long or short, is a trim every six to eight weeks. No matter the length of your hair, a simple cleaning will remove dead ends and reduce potential frizz. 

Dying Hair Before Wedding 

Whether you want to add a few highlights or undergo a drastic hair transformation, you have a variety of color options to choose from. Experts advise evaluating the dye at least three months prior to the wedding. Always consult with your bridal beautician prior to making significant hair changes. For instance, if a client comes in for a hair trial with blonde highlights, this will add texture to the style. However, if they decide to eliminate the highlights for their wedding day, this can alter the final result and feel of their hairstyle. 

When to Wash Hair Before Wedding 

Contrary to the myth that dirty hair is preferable for day-of styling, excessive oil and dirt buildup can have the opposite effect. The night before your wedding, you should wash and air-dry the majority of hair varieties. This rule also applies if you intend to heat style uneven or curly hair. Interested in embracing your natural curls? Experts suggest cleansing them the morning of the ceremony.

3. Pinned Curls with Floral Headpiece 

Add a unique twist to a traditional wedding hairstyle by securing your curls to the crown for added volume. Then, for a stunning wedding day appearance, finish with a sparkling headpiece. 
 
4. Natural Curls with Flower Headpiece 

We believe that on your wedding day, you should be the best version of yourself, so if you have natural curls, make them particularly bouncy. Work with your hairstylist to determine the combination of wedding hairstyling products that will give you the finest hair on your wedding day. Consider adding a colorful hair accessory, such as a headband or flower crown. 

5. Voluminous Half-Up / Half-Down Hairstyle 

Choose this modern take on the classic half-up, half-down wedding hairstyle for an Old Hollywood-inspired appearance. Request that your stylist tease the rear section of your hair to create voluminous volume. 

6. Classic Waves 

A classic wedding hairstyle, such as elegant waves, cannot fail. Part your hair down the middle for a contemporary look, or sweep it all to one side for a charmingly chic appearance. 

7. Glamorous Hollywood Curls 

You are the center of attention on your wedding day, so why not have a hairstyle that reflects this? Use heated rollers or a wide-barrel curling iron to create large, touchable curls in the Hollywood style. 

Pinned Up Wedding Hairstyles 

Your hair will look excellent in an updo whether it is curly, wavy, fine, natural, or thin. Not only does it keep your hair out of the way, but it also allows you to show off your dress’s stunning neckline. Curious about which wedding hairstyles to add to your inspiration board? Whether your style is classic, modern, bohemian, or casual, we’ve selected the most beautiful pinned up wedding hairstyles for you to save, including beachy fishtail braids, polished ponytail wedding hairstyles, and simple chignons and buns. 

1. Classic Low Chignon 

This remains a classic when it comes to pinned-up wedding hairstyles for good reason. Backcomb your hair and arrange it into an elegant low chignon. Add braids or hair accessories if you like, or leave it as is; either way, this style is flawless. 

2. Romantic Updo with Floral Hair Pins 

Choose a slightly undone bun with face-framing wisps for a more casual wedding hairstyle. Add some flower hair brooches (we adore these small white flowers) to your wedding hairstyle to add a touch of romance. 

3. Long Boho Fishtail Braid 

Consider a braided wedding hairstyle if you want to keep your hair out of the way without committing to a full updo. This fishtail braid is flawlessly undone, so you won’t have to worry about your hair frizzing or falling out at your outdoor summer nuptials. The dirtier the appearance, the better. 

4. Twisted Ponytail 

Ponytails will forever be fashionable. Increase the romance by twisting it backward for an effortless appearance that appears to have taken hours. 

5. Messy Updo with Wildflowers 

Play dress-up with your untidy bun or ponytail by incorporating vibrant blossoms into your overall appearance. Consult with your wedding hairstylist about the best way to undo your locks at the end of the evening to avoid damaging your gorgeous hair.

As your wedding day approaches, you may be considering the finest hairstyle for walking down the aisle. From twists and braids to classic buns, there are numerous gorgeous ways to style your hair. Choosing the optimal bridal hairstyle requires additional consideration. A style that works for someone with shoulder-length, curly hair may not necessarily work for someone with back-length, straight hair. Before deciding, draw inspiration from various hairstyles with a variety of hair textures and lengths.
