67 Wedding Hairstyles & Bridal Hair Ideas To Try

Obviously you need to be fully briefed on the dreamiest wedding hairstyles so that you have all the inspo locked and loaded before pulling the trigger on your perfect match. Beyond the fact that your wedding is probably the one day you want to look your absolute best, it will likely also be the most captured moment of your life. The ceremony and reception may go quick, but those photos last a lifetime – so it goes without saying that you’ll want to feel and look stunning on the day itself, but also every time you look back on it, too.

So, how to choose your wedding hair? The right style should match you and your personality, but, it should also beautifully complement your wedding dress (the silhouette and the neckline). Plus, it needs to fit in seamlessly with the vibe you want to create for your day – be it relaxed, glamorous, modern or romantic.

It can be a balancing act, especially if you also want to nod to current trends. The key is to capture a moment in time, but also create a look that’s ageless and will stand the test of time in pictures for years to come. (Anyone who’s watched Four Weddings & A Funeral will know, crunchy perms didn’t quite make it into the next decade.) That’s why choosing your perfect wedding hairstyle deserves a little planning, no matter whether you’re the bride or a guest.

While your outfit may be the show-stopper (from your wedding dress, bridesmaid attire or wedding guest dress), its those finishing touches like your makeup and hair that can elevate everything and pull the look together. Case in point: loose waves vs an updo. Choosing one over the other can change the mood of your bridal look altogether. Plus on such a personal day, your hair is one more way you can introduce your own individual touch.

If you need a little help, no stress, we consulted top celebrity hair stylist and Color Wow creative director, Dom Seeley, for his take on the styles and details to consider. In fact I trust him so much, he was the mane man I called on to create my dream hair – a relaxed, romantic ponytail– for my own wedding day.
