Do a search for the best bridal hairstyle ideas and you’ll wind up down a rabbit hole of a million things you don’t need to know about your new bridal haircut, your wedding, and your life. Whether you started your wedding Pinterest board when you were 15 or waited until 6 weeks before the wedding, deciding on wedding hair ideas is exhausting! For most of us, there are too many styles we simply adore too much to even consider narrowing it down for this once-in-a-lifetime aisle walk. But, have no fear, we have curated a list of the best bridal hairstyle ideas.

50 Stunning Bridal Hairstyles For Any and Every Bride-to-Be

So, what’s your taste? Some brides base their bridal hairstyle on the dress, like wearing a sophisticated Cinderella bun to complement their ball gown. Others base their wedding hairstyles on their venue. Are you planning an outdoor Bohemian Affair with a sheer, lacey sheath Frock, and a bouquet of wildflowers? Or, maybe you have planned a traditional church service with a reception in an elegant ballroom? Loose waves and elaborate fishtails and braids pair beautifully with a beachfront wedding. Your love and your venue are your starting points for inspiration. What is your aesthetic?

The best bridal hairstyles are the ones that make you feel most like yourself. They say a smile is the best accessory, but we have to argue that your hair is a close second on your wedding day.

When searching for the perfect look, remember to incorporate your own hair texture, capabilities (if you are doing it yourself), budget (if you are using a stylist), and accessories you might like to use. With braids and voluminous styles being the most popular among recent brides, it’s important to keep in mind that thick braids and huge buns often require extensions to achieve volume and length.
