As a bride-to-be, you spend a lot of time focusing on our outfit and makeup, but forget to put in the same amount of effort and time into deciding your hairstyle. In fact, more often than not, most brides end up recreating the run-off-the-mill, standard bridal bun r half-up half-down, which can look pretty boring. Amirite?
Well, not anymore! If you are a bride-to-be struggling to find some good hair inspiration, then you’re in luck. We have put together five stunning celebrity-inspired hairstyle trends that are not only chic but also super appropriate for all your wedding festivities. Feast your eyes!
1. Fresh flowers

Flowers are an amazing way to add more character to any hairstyle and they look particularly classy when paired with bridal outfits. Whether you prefer to go the traditional route with a gajra, or love a clean and simple hairstyle with a few twigs of baby’s breath, adding fresh flowers is a great way to take any hairstyle several notches higher.
2. Braids

Braids are such a timeless bridal hairstyle, don’t you think? Whether you prefer boho braids, crown braids or something simpler, there is a braid for literally every occasion, mood and outfit. For example, we absolutely love a messy fishtail braid for an intimate Haldi or Mehendi function. It not only looks fresh but is also such an interesting way to keep your hair out of your face.
3. Buns

Buns are easily the most universal wedding hairdo, thanks to the sheer number of ways in which it can be styled. Additionally, the fact that buns work amazingly well with all hair types and textures gives this hairdo more brownie points. Try a slicked back bun like Karisma Kapoor to exude more traditional vibes or keep it natural and textured like Diana Penty for your reception, the options are endless.
4. Waves

For brides who like to keep things modern and trendy, waves are a great choice for you. From slicked back waves to body waves, and retro waves to Hollywood waves, there are tons of options to choose from. Additionally, with just a few tweaks in the texture of your waves, this hairstyle can work with both traditional as well as more western bridal ensembles.
5. Ponytails

Think ponytails are boring? Well, think again. A well-done ponytail is not only ideal for the minimalist bride but also a great hairstyle to allow a particularly heavy bridal outfit to take center-stage. Additionally, ponytails are great for any outdoor wedding function to give your entire look a really fun, flirty and fresh vibe.
