It’s wedding season and you know what that means? It’s all about the bride and groom, making their special day one to remember. For the bride, she wants it to be perfect, the perfect dress, shoes, makeup and of course hair. As a stylist, your job is to make her hair look beautiful so she can walk down that aisle with confidence and beauty. Brides often have different ideas of what they want. Some want something simple while others want something more elaborate. Whatever the case, tapping into your bridal hair zone is going to be essential to create some of these bridal hair inspiration hairstyles. Below are some dreamy wedding hair looks to get your creative juices flowing. From updos to long free flowing hair, there’s a perfect wedding hairdo that each of your bridal clients want. Starting from short and working toward long styles, these are some beautiful styles that deserve some shout outs.
This magical rose-shaped updo was created by @lalasupdos. A top influencer in the world of updos, Lala sculps this hairstyle to emulate the shape of a rose. With defined ‘petals’ it blooms into a beautiful flower. It works beautifully with the red hair as a rose would be as well. Stunning, intricate and a showstopper.

Instead of building the focal point of the style on the top of the head, this one builds it to the back. Created by @salomemng, this style creates a structured knotted look. Like a defined pattern there’s something about this look that creates a sense of perfectionism. While not a curled look, it does give off a sense of curls with the big loops. Decorate it with a beautiful rhinestone accessory.

@dianaperaltamakeup created this sleek and seemingly simple updo. With a rhinestone headpiece, this look pairs up nicely with a sleek dress. Simple lines on the dress match the sophisticated aura of this hairstyle. While many bridal hairstyles feature large loose curls, this one is completely the opposite. Gorgeous and stylish, it’s a beautiful updo for a classy bride to be.

This style is similar in that the hair is brought to the lower back of the head. However, this updo by @lisamariehair__ has a more romantic, whimsical look and feel. Instead of the slick back hair around the head, the hair cascades to the back in defined curled strands. Floral accents are all the rage right now and fit nicely with romantic looks. In this case the baby’s breadth and the use of real flowers adds a more natural look to the style. With some dangling curled strands of hair in the front and back as well as loosely pinned up hair in the back, this makes for a nice hybrid between a structured and flowy look. Gorgeous!

A simpler look, this style is classy. Using the JATAI Teasing Pin Comb to achieve some of the internal volume, the hair is loosely tied back and pinned up in 3 horizontal sections. Add a piece of hair jewelry and you have this simple look that works with a variety of dress styles. Versatile and clean, it makes for a pretty bridal updo. Created by @hairbysaretta.

If you’re looking for an updo that is completely romantic and whimsical, this is it. @bridalhairbykatelyn uses big braids and loose flowing curls to create this look. Braids have been incorporated into bridal hairstyles for as long as bridal hair has been around. But these large braids are a more modern development that has changed the game for bridal hair. This look creates a lot more volume around the crown of the hair.

This last look before we head into the longer looks is a unique mohawk-like updo. While many brides might not consider this as the style they’d like, for some edgier brides, this could be of interest. Pining curled sections from the top of the head all the way down to the back of the head makes this style interesting, fun and daring. Pair it with some feminine pearls or hair jewelry and you’ve got this stunning look. This is another look from @lalasupdos

If you’re looking for longer bridal styles, this one by @hairbydanielletranter puts romance and femininity into play. Large curls that cascade down but pinned together makes this hairstyle sweet and soft. Floral accents don’t have to consist of real flowers. They can be artificial and still look great. Placing floral accents down the length of the hair adds another lovely touch.

Another long one, this one incorporates a big braid that goes down the length of the hair. With highlights in the hair, it makes this look feel more earthy and allows the braid to have more dimension. The hair jewelry that follows the path of the braid is a nice accent to this gorgeous style. This is another winner by @bridalhairbykatelyn!

For anyone looking for something different but want to keep the hair long, this beauty by @hairbysaretta takes a stab at long hair with flowers made out of hair. The three flowers that cascade down the hair is a unique and gorgeous look that any bride would love. The flowers are made out of braids and the whole look was created using the JATAI Teasing Pin Comb.

Lastly, another one by @bridalhairbykatelyn, this one is probably the simplest of all. This style uses the half up, half down look. It gives a boho vibe that is so popular right now. Light waves in the hair and the romantic topsy tail style makes this look attractive and sweet. She also uses extensions to achieve this look.
