Choosing what hairstyles to wear to a wedding can be a conundrum (no matter whether you’re the bride or a guest). The trick is to make it modern enough to feel current, but not so tied to the times that it dates in photos. Anyone who’s watched Four Weddings & A Funeral will know, crunchy curls and mega perms didn’t quite make it into the next decade.
But, alongside picking an outfit (be it your wedding dress, bridesmaid attire or wedding guest dress), getting your hair right can be a headache.
More importantly, the style you choose needs to represent you and the vibe of the wedding. Whether you’re after something more romantic, sophisticated, rock chick or beachy, this will play into choosing a hairstyle that’s right for you.
That said, Pinterest, Instagram, the runway and the red carpet are awash with gorgeous hairstyle ideas to serve as inspiration. From tousled beach waves (if, lucky you, you’re off for a destination ceremony) to chic up-dos, glorious wedding hair accessories and cute bobs, we’ve scoured high and low to pick out the best of the best in wedding hairstyles. So whether you’re getting married soon or off to someone else’s big day, here are the best styles to consider.
