Zeroing in your bridal hairstyle the ceremonies leading up to the big day is no easy feat. Your ideal bridal look must be one that matches your unique personality, style, and preferences. Keeping the ensembles, theme and makeup look in mind, the right hairdos are essential for a cohesive and harmonious look. Instagram can be a good repository to source looks that complement your facial features the best way possible. And a chat with your stylist about your hair's texture, length, and natural qualities will help bring the look together in the end. Here are the styles that have been trending all over IG; take your pick to get started!
1.Braided to perfection
Fishtail, knotted or bubble – braids are the quintessential Indian wedding hairstyles that always stay in vogue. This season, pair your braids with floral or pearly accessories (or both!) to not only keep the braid looking clean but also satisfy your maximal wedding glam brief!
2.All eyes on you
Walking down the aisle to the love of your life has to be one of the most cherished moments for the bride. For the guests, you can give them a look at your stunning hairdo, gorgeous mermaid waves wrapped beautifully with a ribbon bow. Bridal hairstyles for long hair don’t have to be just about the length; throw in some extensions in there for body-ody-ody!
3.Hair accessories who?
If you’re hoping to go accessory-free for the ring ceremony or evening cocktails, this bow-illusion ‘do is perfect for the occasion. Combining soft waves with a low-hanging bow tuck; all you need to do to nail this look is have your stylist prep with the right hair care products for soft manageable lengths and you’re good to go.
4.Twists and waves
Half up half down hairdos are a good way to pull off traditional bridal hairstyles with a modern twist, quite literally! Twisted tendrils adorned with flowers can be tucked at the back with some face-framing ones let loose in the front. Unconventional styling tools like hot rollers (talk about nostalgia!) can be used to create something totally unique and keep your natural texture shining through.
5.Classic, textured bun
Textured buns have been the reigning champions of wedding hairstyles for decades. They’re ideal to be paired with a chunnari or veil for the main ceremony and keep the hair off your neck for long hours. Consult your colourist at least a couple of weeks prior to the big day to add some dimension in the look.
6.Minimal & chic
Bridal hairstyles for medium length hair do not have to stay in the shadows with simple buns! A low ponytail with a diamanté accent will look right at home for the engagement party. Opt for a centre part in the front to add the ‘clean girl aesthetic’ to your bridal look.
7.A touch of Y2K
Y2K beauty trends are here to stay through 2023 as well and if your makeup doesn’t include blue eyeshadow or frosted lips, maybe the hair brief can bring in some of that nostalgia. Voluminous, full and with so much movement – this one is ideal for your sangeet night which you plan on dancing away!
