As a bride-to-be, you’re always looking for wedding inspiration, whether it’s for your decor, photography style, gown, or the finishing touches of your look, hair and makeup! When it comes to decor and dresses, you’ll have plenty of Pinterest boards and Instagram saves, but for your wedding day hair, you might want to take a look at some of our real brides who have rocked chic styles on their big day.
A Neat Low Bun

Your dress is likely to be the one element of your bridal ensemble to get the most attention. If you’re not holding back on a stunner ballgown that exudes regal drama, you’ll probably want to give your dress that moment it deserves. A simply pulled-back bun is enough to give you a neat look and complement an ethereal dress with minimal effort while keeping your hair away from your face. This bride looked like a dream, perfectly balancing minimalist hair and makeup with her showstopper gown for her Moscow wedding celebration. You can also see more from this bride’s contemporary sequel wedding at the Doltone House, Australia.
Braided Buns

If you like to go all out with your bridal look and want to try something slightly different with your hair, we suggest taking a look at these brides for some inspiration. Twist things up with the classic buns and add beautiful braids for texture. From weaving in your side-sweped hair with delicate flowers to rocking a creative headband with a thin braid across your crown, try out these styles for a chic and feminine bridal look.
Accessorizing With A Headpiece

Whether you decide to let down your hair like this Cali bride or tie it up as this bride did for her vow renewals, accessorizing is a great way to create a fashion moment and elevate a simple hairstyle. You have plenty of accessories to choose from, including crowns, headbands, bows, and more! Plus, with a bedazzled headpiece, you can either glam up your bridal veil or decide to completely ditch the bridal fashion tradition.
The Half-up Half-down

When Ariana Grande got married to her bae, her bridal look became a sensation, from the sleek satin dress to the Audre Hepburn-inspired veil moment. But her bridal attire wasn’t the only thing that we loved. Keeping it true to her brand yet slightly different for a memorable wedding day look, she had her hair done up in a tight half-high pony, letting the rest of her locks cascade down to her back. The recent Peltz-Beckham wedding also gave us fresh inspiration, with Nicola sporting the half-up-half-down hairdo with stylish curtain bangs.
Stylish Waves

Brides who choose to show off their gorgeous locks and opt out of tying them up should definitely consider highlighting their waves. Tania, our Birmingham bride let her natural textures shine through, allowing her waves to beautifully frame her face, while our Cabo bride Brittany went with S-waves to create an elegant look that matched the rest of her bridal ensemble.
