A low bun with face-framing tendrils is a romantic look for any affair, and that's true whether you’re tying the knot at a vineyard or by the beach. This bride's low chignon at her Maine nuptials was kept clean, polished, and classic—a beauty look that matched her romantic wedding dress. To provide some structure and opulence, consider topping it off with a crystal headpiece.

Polished Pearls

Not only does a top knot look chic, but it’s also a practical ‘do for warm-weather weddings where sweat is the enemy of a polished style. This bride went with a high updo for her bridal hairstyle at her soirée in New York City, and she embraced her natural texture without the use of styling tools. Affix beaded floral hair accessories if you’re wearing a floral wedding dress or exchanging vows in a garden.
06of 55
A Blunt Bob
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Belle_Mer_Wedding_-_Newport_Rhode_Island_by_Chi-Chi_Ari-128-2bd8694f858740c08b41dff773a82415.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (6)")
If you have short hair, you don’t have to conceal your length with hair extensions. This bride, who tied the knot during a modern celebration in Newport, Rhode Island, is proof that your everyday hairstyle can look just as stunning on the big day. With a sleek side part and brushed-out waves, her look was decidedly chic yet understated.

A Fishtail Braid
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Emily-Lauren_05_BS-de6200a47d9342918c14cfb14e0cccbb.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (7)")
Looking for a unique bridal hairstyle? A fishtail braid, as this bride wore on her special day in North Carolina, is a fun and whimsical option that emphasizes texture. It's a look that'll keep your tresses off of your neck and out of your face, which is ideal for withstanding the summer heat.

Silken Simplicity
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TB-LisaPoggi075-bea7f40a64d3473e9ed9214fc55741bc.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (8)")
To show off your neckline or the back of your dress, settle on a silky updo. This bride's simple and sleek chignon, which she chose for her intimate wedding in Tuscany, let her lace choker and low back be the stars of the show (had she decided to wear her hair down, the flowing style likely would have overshadowed these details).
09of 55
A Twisted Bun
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Veronica-Oliver_05-6d866f4d1bf44e67aa2ec9be48163859.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (9)")
While an updo is always elegant, add some visual intrigue by incorporating small braids across the base of your head. This bride donned a voluminous bun with twisted strands, which perfectly complemented her garden wedding in a historic Italian castle.
10of 55
A Short Pixie
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/7-modern-brooklyn-winery-wedding-bride-portrait-chi-chi-ari-1223-cd1d7290587641cab68b85be2a33d14e.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (10)")

A High Ponytail

Pulling your hair back in a sweeping ponytail that sits on the crown of your head is the perfect balance between effortless and polished. To generate some edge, twist a few strands in loose waves, add face-framing pieces, and throw the pony over your shoulder. If you have a stunning neckline, like the one on this bride's gown—which she chose for her wedding along the Eastern Shore—this is a particularly viable option.
12of 55
A Fresh Accompaniment
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/wedding_in_lisbon_palace_alicevicenteweddings_weddingwonderland-16-fc2231b6e9294fef839fccdbfb3e56a3.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (12)")
There's nothing more romantic than adding a sprig of fresh flowers to your hair on your wedding day. We love how this bride added pink blooms,that matched the floral design on her ethereal strapless gown, to her hair for her wedding in Lisbon. Although this bridal hairstyle works well for just about any aesthetic, it’s an especially strong candidate for garden-fresh nuptials in the spring.

A Textured Lob
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Jessica-Chris_08-862aa29dfa9a45ce82b111892c9d005b.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (13)")
Instead of manufacturing pin-straight strands or bouncy waves, let your signature style shine. For her wedding in Paris, this bride rocked her natural curls and accented them with a Swarovski crystal clip for an additional ounce of glamour.
14of 55
A Halo of Blooms
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/bridal-hairstyles-flower-crown-grace-gatto-98663a7980cb4faa81d62a00b53b4960.jpeg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (14)")
Since flowers are typically an integral component at weddings, why not wear an arrangement on top of your head? Flower crowns, like the one this bride wore during her Colombia wedding, are a natural fit for tropical functions, bohemian bashes, or beachside services. Pro tip: Use the same blooms as those in your bridal bouquet, ceremony installations, and reception centerpieces for a cohesive look.
15of 55
A Half-Up Style
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Nav-AJ_03-def8bc6a486d47a79363f775bded9a8d.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (15)")
Instead of fully wearing your hair down, add layers with a half-up bridal hairstyle. For this bride's California nuptials, she first had her hair styled in barreling waves before her stylist clipped a portion of her tresses back. If you have statement earrings, like these dangling beaded jewels, a pulled-back look will call attention to them.
16of 55
Cascading Tresses
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/lindsey-john-03-b5e3ef026da143dc8c41f459149b3bde.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (16)")
Wondering how to style long locks? Wispy curls that cascade down your back and fall past your shoulders, like this bride donned for her maximalist disco wedding, will do the trick. Consider this bridal hairstyle for bohemian nuptials since the effortless curls will match the free-spirited aesthetic.

A Bedecked Braid

As another alternative bridal hairstyle for long tresses, a single French braid will highlight your length and thickness. For her New York Wedding, the bride made her voluminous braid even more special by adding in fragrant jasmine flowers. As a nod to her South Asian heritage, the intricate style was equally symbolic and beautiful.

Jaw-Dropping Curls

These striking waves brought all of the glitz and glamour to this bride's look for her rustic-chic wedding in Long Island City, New York. We love how modern her middle part looks here, and while you can shift yours to either side, this is a great way to keep an otherwise classic hairstyle looking fresh. To keep your tresses in place, remember to add a protective coat of a top-rated hairspray, especially if the weather is hot and humid.
19of 55
Floaty Waves
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/JenaCurt-75-10095473a32249b68e5672719e1f5697.jpg "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (19)")
A center part and a blunt, mid-length cut are the epitome of an ethereal dream. We can't get over how beautiful the flow of this bride's hair mimics that of her floaty lace dress. A look like this is always on trend, whether you’re getting married in a lakeside fête, ballroom celebration, or at a Los Angeles estate.

A Chic Headband

Switch up the classic wedding veil with a modern and trendy alternative: a white headband. This stunning bride wore a thick padded band across the crown of her head, which framed her face and brought a touch of sophistication to the updo she rocked for her tropical fête in Jamaica. Duplicate her dreamy monochromatic look with an all-white bouquet of orchids, white statement earrings, and a white corset gown.

A Voluminous Ponytail

Upgrade your low bun with a sparkly add-on; with a sequined piece, you’ll illuminate an interwoven chignon. This is perfect for brides looking for a romantic yet glamorous look.

A Shiny Finish

Who doesn’t want to bring a radiant sheen to their locks? This bride's slightly wavy, super shiny strands complemented the sleek fabric on her silk wedding dress, which she donned for her New York City nuptials.

A low bun is beautiful on its own, but adding a braid into the mix really ups the ante. This lovely bride increased the visual appeal of her big-day hairstyle for her wedding in Malibu by twisting a strand into her chignon and then decorating the piece with pearl accents. Try this look if you love a classic ‘do but want to include some pizazz.

Glam Factor

One of the best places you can look to for hair inspiration is your wedding dress. For her fall wedding in New York, this bride first selected her playful ostrich-feather gown and decided to sport an accessory that matched. A textured accompaniment will also bring a fun flair to a minimalist dress.

A Tousled Ponytail

A daring look for any type of bridal style or wedding aesthetic is a high ponytail with crimped waves. Increase the drama by adding volume to the crown of your head and rocking side pieces, like this bride at her Coachella Valley wedding.

A Loc'd Updo

While this bridal hairstyle nails the “messy bun” look with tousled strands and a loose fit, at the same time, it also looks refined. The top knot makes the strapless sweetheart neckline and pearl drop earrings—which this bride wore to her glamping wedding in California—the focal point.
32of 55
Pin-Straight Strands

Sophisticated updos and billowing curls are popular options for brides, but a straightened mane is just as romantic. Tresses that are styled with a flat iron or blow dryer add more shine to your locks. Consider pinning your strands back with a sequined accessory, like this bride did during her wedding in Guatemala. If your big day is taking place in humid climates, use hairspray to seal off your look.
33of 55
A Fabulous Fishtail
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/fb-fd980770c2544fa99a83f33f64d8f448.png "55 Stunning Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Every Type of Wedding (33)")
Fishtail braids can be so refreshingly unexpected in comparison to their traditional French and Dutch counterparts.

A few intentionally placed pieces cascaded down to frame her face.
34of 55
A Crisp Middle Part

While side parts get a lot of attention when it comes to wedding day hair, middle parts are just as popular in the bridal beauty space. Follow this bride's lead and sport your part in the middle to create a contemporary and sleek look.

Gathered as a low-slung braid, this chignon has an undone vibe that befits the style of this bride's sandy Tulum nuptials.

Thick Bangs

A relaxed, late-summer fête calls for an unfussy hairstyle that speaks to the informality of the season. At her wedding in Portugal, this bride's natural hair texture needed no extra additions to shine. Her bold earrings and a laid-back wrap dress made for a stunning pairing.

Combing back your locks into a shiny chignon at the nape of your neck is timeless and versatile. We love a floral hairpin as the final touch for a garden wedding, but this style also brings an icy look to winter nuptials.

A Black Bow

While white is a quintessentially bridal color, work black into your bridal hairstyle for a daring edge. The juxtaposition here is powerful: The dark hue provides a stark contrast when paired with the ethereal tulle sleeves and delicate floral embroidery, which this bride donned at her art-inspired wedding in Mexico.
