Discover the latest bridal hairstyling trends and inspiration from a professional wedding hairstylist. Whether you're looking for timeless elegance, boho-chic vibes, or a modern twist, here you will find your perfect updo!

Romantic low buns

Perfect style for more relaxed brides, who seek a soft yet elegant look on their wedding day.

This versatile hairstyle offers a natural, effortless beauty that complements nearly any bridal gown or headpiece, from delicate veils to florals or jeweled hairpins.

If you have 'sunkissed' hair colouring, even better, as highlights will enhance this romantic natural vibe.

Pro advice: this type of updo is easiest to be removed to enjoy loose hair as your second wedding hair look!

90s hairstyles are making a major comeback, dominating both red carpets and wedding aisles.

Among the most popular choice is the 90s-inspired messy updo, a favorite choice for brides who want a
second hairstyle for their reception or a bold, edgy look for their big day.

This effortlessly chic style, with its tousled texture and carefree vibe,
adds a touch of sexiness while still feeling bridal.

Sleek & Snatched

Sleek and snatched bridal updos are a top choice for modern brides seeking a polished, sophisticated look.
They are not limited to balerina bun and can be done in various beautiful shapes.

With a smooth, sculpted finish, they offer a timeless yet contemporary feel, ideal for brides who want to look effortlessly chic.

Whether paired with a veil or plain, sleek updos will highlight your facial features and may even offer a lifted skin effect!

As a wedding hairstylist, I know that these are the most long-lasting updos that enhance your bridal vision while keeping you comfortable and confident.

Fashion like updos

Bridal hair trends are evolving as more brides embrace bold, fashion-forward styles inspired by celebrities and red carpet looks.

I doubt fashion kind of updos will become super mainstream, yet Gen Z brides, in particular, are leading this shift, opting for fearless, unique hair choices that push the boundaries of bridal beauty.

As a result, bridal hair is becoming a true reflection of individuality and high-fashion inspiration.
