Elegant Updo Hairstyles For Wedding

Updos are timeless classics and make a stunning foundation for embellishments like flowers in your hair or fabric tied around it for a truly original look.

Textured Updo

This textured updo gives a classic French roll an airy airiness by layering wispy strands for an effortlessly yet sophisticated style perfect for black tie weddings.

French Twist with Baby’s Breath

This style looks especially lovely on brides who wish to show off both aspects.
