Bridal hairstyles come in many shapes and forms. While a fun-loving, quirky bride might go for loose waves, someone with a more demure personality will pick a tight, clean bun. This is proof that much like your wedding ensemble, the hairstyle you pick to go with it is also a direct representation of your personality. Plus, bridal hairstyles can be customised to flatter your chosen joda, which means that if you are not careful with your choice of hairstyle, your wedding outfit might suffer too. Fortunately, there are no rules with bridal hairstyles anymore, and you can be as experimental as you want, or not at all. Here are 11 trendy and chic **hairstyles for girls to choose from for their wedding day! ** FYI, before we begin, we would like to say that these styles should always be used just as an inspiration. The final look will be decided after a proper consultation with your hairstylist, as some styles may look nice, but not work on your hair type. So sit back and scroll through some of the trendiest hairstyles to choose from for your big day.
01A ponytail upgrade
Image courtesy: @dollyouup_bys How do you make a braided ponytail look bridal? Add texture, and accessories of course! A unique hairstyle through and through, this one will satisfy an experimental bride's need for pushing the boundaries with her glam look, yet keeping it stunning to look at.
02Traditional structured bun
Image courtesy: @kajolrpaswwan If you want to flaunt long tresses on your wedding day, but do not want to leave it open, this is a good hairstyle to opt for. This traditional updo uses the length of your hair (or extensions) and twists them endlessly to create this structured bun. Combined with the voluminous crown on top, this hairdo is a good option for brides who like to add classic touches to their wedding ensemble.
03Embellished bubble braid
Image courtesy: @chisellemakeupandhair A popular hairstyle and always in vogue with South Indian brides, a long bubble braid flowing down will look incredible with traditional Kanjeevarams and contemporary lehengas alike. The hairstyle has been embellished with pretty pearls and a baby's breath floral arrangement, both of which are trending as bridal hairstyle accessories currently.
04Sleek braid with bling
Image courtesy: @aanalsavaliya On the surface, this hairstyle looks like a simple braid which has been blinged out with hair jewellery. But in reality, this chic braid takes a lot of effort to achieve! The gold, Kundan and silver baubles look lovely on the braid and make for a captivating hairstyle to wear under a sheer dupatta.
05Floral tight bun
Image courtesy: @makeupartist_prasenjit We love floral buns on blushing brides, they are trendy and keep the hairdo smelling fresh and fragrant. A small hurdle that floral buns present is that if you are pairing them with a heavy ghunghat, the arrangement runs the risk of looking flat. This will result in a hair moment that won't look as cute when you finally take the ghunghat off. Having said that, this underbun floral detail will solve that issue in an instant. Plus, we love the pops of hair colour visible in the bun and that braided strand securing the whole thing is a touch of genius!
06Voluminous crown ‘do
Image courtesy: @shirleywuofficial The best way to pick a bridal hairstyle is to make sure it flatters your chosen Shaadi ka joda. And while buns and lehengas are already a match made in heaven, if you are wearing something more offbeat, like a Kurti, paired with a mod ethnic skirt, this voluminous crown-heavy hairdo will look fabulous with it. We love the side-swept hair section that ends in curly tendrils to frame the face, so deliciously OTT!
07Double braid with hair-rose formations
Image courtesy: @hairbysimbamrah This gorgeous hairstyle has been created by combining two fishtail braids together and adding rose hair formations on top as lovely floral details. If you have naturally long and thick hair, this will be a pretty hairstyle to consider. Minimal pearl embellishments complete this unique, yet beautiful hairdo.
08Tight curls
Image courtesy: @allure.illona If you are gifted with naturally dense and defined, thick curls, this is a good hairstyle to wear. It doesn't alter your signature curls and is very glamorous. Loose sections in the front and a rose-adorned loose bun (with all that lovely volume) will certainly make your wedding look stand out from the rest. Make sure to pick a hairstylist who knows how to work with natural, curly/kinky hair.
09Side Dutch braid cascading into twisted locks
Image courtesy: @afsharangila_makeupartist Twisted braids have become very popular lately, they are much more low-maintenance than others and yet, look equally glamorous. Coupled with a side-swept, double Dutch braided section of hair and some pretty pink roses, this is a romantic bridal hairstyle. Final touches of a hair chain and face-framing loose tendrils add a lot of dimension to this look.
10Bow down, ladies!
Image courtesy: @vidyahairstylist If you are planning to let your hair down for your big day, we suggest that you add some OTT details to it. A big hair bow formation will make sure that your glossy waves are not getting washed out by the heavy lehenga or saree. Paired with some minimal accessories, this look is simplistic, yet elegant.
11The classic donut bun
Image courtesy: @chisellemakeupandhair Donut buns have long been the go-to hairstyle for brides who like to play it safe. But their traditional image is changing, and donut buns have now got a contemporary twist. In this instance, the update comes in the form of a heavy floral arrangement surrounding it. We love the pin accessory as well, desi moms will certainly approve of this one!
