Wedding Hairstyle for Long Hair
For long hair, a wedding hairstyle shouldn’t be about stiff, uncomfortable updos. Right now, the trend is all about soft, romantic, and almost effortless looks that frame the face beautifully. My absolute favorite for a bride is a low, side-swept braid with face-framing tendrils.
Why It Works: It’s elegant but relaxed, it holds up all day (and night!), and it works with a veil, a hairpin, or just some fresh flowers woven in.
How to Get the Look:
Start with soft, waved hair. I remember a client who insisted on poker-straight hair, and the braid just didn’t have the same romantic, textured effect.
Create a deep side part and loosely French braid the hair from the crown down to the nape of your neck, incorporating hair only from the top section.
Instead of pulling it tight, gently pull on the edges of the braid to loosen it and create volume.
Gather the rest of your hair, twist it loosely, and wrap it with the braid into a soft, low bun. Leave a few pieces loose around your face—this is key for that soft, romantic feel!
Secure with bobby pins and finish with a flexible-hold hairspray.
Long hair is a dream canvas for a wedding day! While classic updos are timeless, the latest trend is all about soft, romantic texture. Think less “perfectly polished” and more “effortlessly beautiful.” I remember a bride who wanted to showcase her incredible length but still look elegant. We opted for a low, loose chignon with face-framing tendrils and a braided headband—it was absolutely stunning and held up all night.
Here’s what’s trending right now:
The Textured Braided Bun: Incorporate a loose, waterfall, or Dutch braid that leads into a soft, slightly messy bun at the nape of the neck. It’s secure yet romantic.
Half-Up, Half-Down with Volume: This style is huge. Tease the crown for volume, pull back the top sections, and secure them with a beautiful clasp or pins. Leave the rest flowing in soft waves.
Accessorize: No matter the style, add fresh flowers, delicate pearl pins, or a statement comb. It instantly elevates the look from pretty to bridal.
Pro Tip: A good stylist will always do a trial run. Don’t be afraid to bring inspiration photos and say what you don’t like!
