Wedding braid hairstyles are stunningly feminine and can look gorgeous no matter your hair texture. Tuck them into a low bun for an elegant and romantic wedding look, or add flowers for a stylish wraparound braid look for the ultimate bridal ensemble. No matter your style of wedding-day braids, there are suitable options. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Asymmetrical Dutch Braid
Just with practice and patience, this intricate braid can become second nature. Begin with a center part and secure half of your hair before gently brushing away tangles and weaving a standard crossing-under braid near the hairline. Add equal amounts of thin strands on both sides and curve the braid to wrap around your head near the nape. Let the remaining hair drape softly across one shoulder for a dramatic formal occasion look.
Flower Crown Braid
Flower crowns can add an elegant, refined edge to special events and ceremonies. They make an eye-catching accessory in this formal braided look, perfect for brides-to-be or any event where looking polished and sophisticated are vital priorities. Complement your hairstyle with a flower crown and add an elegant touch with a simple fishtail braid atop your head. This style works best with wavy hair for an adorable bridal look with a romantic touch.
High Bun Braid
This style features a high placement for your braided top knot and works well for long hair, as it looks more mature than other high-braided buns. Start with clean hair treated with hairspray for added hold. Create a ponytail near the center of your crown, secure it into a chignon bun, backcomb your crown for a relaxed appearance, tease the chignon for volume, and secure it with hairpins. This elegant yet romantic style is perfect for the reception or sangeet.
Low Bun Braid
For an elegant yet whimsical style, pair a low bun with crown braids for an eye-catching bridal vision. Weave the braids tightly but leave some strands loose for a waterfall effect, creating soft tendrils to frame your face. Finish by tucking flowers into the plaits for that added special touch. Alternatively, let down one side of your hair, tease individual strands for volume, and wrap them around the base of the ponytail, securing them with bobby pins. This elegant look pairs well with any ensemble and can be enhanced with flower accessories or vintage wedding styling.
Side Bun Braid
Consider this neat side braided bun style for something extra special on your wedding day. Perfect for oval and square face shapes, this pin-up hairdo looks elegant when combined with an embellished headpiece. Backcomb your crown for volume, gather all your locks into a side bun with twists, and add an elegant flower crown or headpiece for extra impact. Brides with prominent, flowing curls can opt for this eye-catching updo with asymmetrical fishtail braids and cascading wisps, topped off with a floral crown or hair clip for added charm. This bridal updo is suitable for any special event or formal affair.
