Opt for a low, smooth side bun if you want to look polished and sophisticated on your special day. Add a veil for an opulent effect, or experiment with braided buns with sparkling accessories for extra glitz.
Slicked-back chignons are perfect for brides with medium hair length. Elegant yet versatile, this look complements all types of dresses beautifully. To complete the look, tuck some greenery in your bun as the finishing touch!
Braided bun
Add flair to your low bun by incorporating braids or accessories such as clips. This look works particularly well at prom, weddings, and other formal events; it works equally well on women with medium or long hair!
Low-braided buns look lovely with wavy and straight locks, making it the ideal style choice for brides who don’t wish to wear their locks down during their ceremony and reception. Easy-to-do updo that makes an eye-catching statement when worn alongside a veil or flower crown. To achieve this style, make this look with either a three-strand braid or a rope braid. Using second-day hair will give the braids more texture. While this look works on all hair colors, ombre or balayage hair particularly stands out.
Ballerina bun
Low buns are an elegant yet understated choice for brides looking to put the focus on their dresses, flowers, and accessories. Additionally, this style works for various hair lengths. To add an edge or boldness, consider adding metallic or flower pins like this bride did or strategically placing braid pieces for romantic boho flair.
If you plan on wearing a veil, pin it to your low ponytail before beginning to twist it. A sprinkle of hairspray should help your ponytail remain secure throughout. Make this beautiful bridal hairstyle more casual by leaving loose strands around your face for a graceful finish.
Slicked-back bun
If your hair has long, thick strands, adding a classic ballerina bun is the perfect way to create an elegant and sophisticated updo that complements any dress. Braided strands may add face-framing texture while playing with volume, and texture can create more casual styles.
Modern wedding gowns lend themselves well to sporting a sleek low chignon that stands out against your high neckline. Have your stylist add floral hairpins that coordinate with your bouquet or hairpiece for added glitz.
If you prefer something less formal, try a low twisted bun or simple ponytail – adding curls or headbands can create a romantic and playful aesthetic.
High pompadour
Whether you choose a veil or not, a high pompadour makes an elegant yet timeless low bun wedding hairstyle – and works best on medium to long hair length.
Try adding texture to your style by braiding and then pulling back your top sections for an elegant updo, as this bride did. Doing this adds volume without taking away from your stunning headpiece!
Give in to your adventurous side on your big day with this captivating hairstyle! Braid your pixie into an intricate side braid that wraps into a small tucked bun for a bold statement that you can keep simple or glam up by adding bejeweled barrettes like actress Zoe Saldana has done.
Twisted bun
Low buns make a feminine choice for your big day, adding drama with floral clips, headpieces, and veils as hair accessories.
To complete the look, you will require elastic hairbands, invisible hairpins in colors complementary to your hair shade, and medium-f fixation hairspray.
Add delicate flowers for an elegant and romantic finish when creating a low-bun wedding hairstyle. This will elevate your look without going overboard; consider using a glittering hairpiece that adds some shimmer.
