Best Hairstyles for Wedding Guests
A wedding guest hairstyle should look fancy, but definitely not too pretentious, as trying to overshadow the bride is quite a mauvais tone. The following updos, down dos and half up styles are just the ticket. Find the best ideas for short, medium and long hair.

Is hair up too formal for you, whilst hair down won’t make you look special enough for your friend’s wedding? Look no further! A soft, wavy ponytail with loads of volume is one of the most trending wedding guest hairstyles. Finish it with pearl or crystal pins to add a striking accent.
#2: Afro Textured Bangs with a Flower Accent
Sleek and smooth on one side, curly and full on the other – we love the contrasting combination of different textures in this hairstyle. Add a bright bloom to match the shade of your dress or your makeup color scheme. This look is superb for short and medium-length curly hair.

#3: Tousled and Textured Crown Braid
Crown braids, also known as milkmaid braids, is a perfect wedding guest hairstyle to wear to a boho or rustic wedding. Leave some loose waves down to frame your face and create a softer feel to your look. If your hair isn’t long or thick enough for this hairstyle, clip in extensions would help to add some volume.
