Try this timeless yet modern bridesmaid hairstyle that balances casual and romantic: loose braid-centered locks. Match ribbons from their dresses for an aesthetic finisher that works in any wedding setting.
Enhance Your Casual Ponytail
Enhance your casual ponytail for the big day with the help of Lena Mahfouf hairpins to add old Hollywood glamour, or add texture with a messy low-side ponytail for an elegant finish.
Twisted Bun
Nothing says chic like a handful of pearls perched atop a casual low bun. Depending on your dress and wedding’s vibe, you could wear this look either with either a messy or sleek bump and add braids–French fishtail, regular, etc.–to each side for added dimension or simply one for fun and whimsical style. A twisted pompadour bridesmaid hairstyle works equally well whether your locks are straight, curly, or short!
Stacked Sections of a Classic Top Knot
Stacked sections of a classic top knot add dimension and texture, as evidenced in this stunning updo created by stylists Tovah Prue and Savanah King for this bride. To give an even beachier-inspired style, try adding loose side braids similar to those seen on Bella Hadid or Amie Decker Beauty designs – both would elevate the tone even further! Soft chignons accented by plaiting can also create romantic looks; Amie Decker Beauty makes some lovely examples.
Half Up and Half Down
Half-up and half-down hairstyles are timeless classics that work for any hair texture. Make it more formal by adding vines or baby’s breath as hair accessories, and the look looks even more stunning when worn with floral crowns or headpieces. This hairstyle is ideal for bridesmaids who wish to show off their long, flowing locks while remaining polished. To achieve it, pull back one section and secure it with Kristin Ess French pins before letting the other half fall loose over your shoulders and face; soft tendrils could add an intimate romantic touch! No matter the texture or length of your locks, achieving this half up half down style with ease is possible thanks to Kevin Murphy Smooth Again or an effective blow dry. For added sleekness, spray humidity-fighting products like Drybar dry shampoo onto your locks for a smooth effect.
Crown Braid
Bridesmaids with long hair will enjoy this innovative and straightforward style, especially if embellished with floral clips like those outlined in the tutorial. Additional decorative accessories like flower clips can add flair for extra drama if desired! With only half her hair, this girl creates two fishtail braids into a crown-like design worthy of Blake Lively. She begins by segregating her front locks before regularly braiding them before loosening them for an effect similar to Blake’s crown design. This style would make the perfect statement at an outdoor or beach wedding, as it gives the appearance of effortless cool. For optimal results, use a texturizer or sea salt spray (Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray is recommended) to add texture to the hair before styling it for the big day. Afterward, finish it off using Living Proof Style Lab Flex flexible hairspray so your locks can move freely throughout the night without getting in your way!
Wispy Bun
Headbands add the finishing touches to bridesmaid hairstyles that are already effortless, such as worn without accessories for an earthy, confident feel or embellished with bouquets of baby’s breath for romantic flair – elevating any hairstyle and making it genuinely bridesmaid-worthy. Add dimension and flair to a top knot by incorporating loose or teased fringe. This detail can frame your face beautifully while also adding some drama. Try something genuinely creative this bridesmaid season: try the textured crown braid! This gorgeous bridal look combines a soft two-strand braid at the crown with soft, elongated S-waves for an eye-catching style, finished off with various size bobby pins to add texture and drama – it makes this style one of the most creative hairstyles to try this year!
