The past couple years didn’t go as expected for many brides and grooms, with so many weddings postponed. But now that everyone’s getting back into the swing of things, we thought it’d be a good idea to round up all our fave wedding hair and makeup styles so you can get inspired for your own big day. Just remember to give yourself plenty of time to try out these trends ahead of walking the aisle!

So, with the power vested in me by Cosmetify HQ, here are our favourite 2022 wedding looks, plus the tools and products you’ll need to get them.

2022 Wedding Hair Trend 1: Half Up Half Down

Technically this isn't a 2022 trend as it's a timeless one in the wedding hair scene, but you can’t start a wedding look book and not include a gorgeous half up half down hairstyle like this one. You can easily achieve these soft waves at home with a curling wand and a few pins. Think effortless, boho wedding vibes. It's also a great opportunity to incorporate a delicate clasp or clip for the 'half up' portion of this do.

2022 Wedding Hair Trend 2: Sleek Updo

On the flip side of this wild and free bohemian look, we’re utterly obsessed with an elegant updo. This is a gorgeous option for sophisticated brides-to-be. For this look you may need the help of a friend to make sure you get all those little stray hairs locked in place. Plenty of hairspray is in order!

2022 Wedding Hair Trend 3: Natural Curly Hair

Another wedding hairstyle we’re obsessed with in 2022 is natural curly hair. Let your curls do the talking with nourished tresses on your special day. We love these looks with hair swept to one side and embellished with glam accessories.

2022 Wedding Hair Trend 4: Short and sweet wedding hair

Short hair can be tricky on your big day, but we just love this short bob wedding hairstyle. Think textured locks with a slight wave and a simple twist or plait to hold it back from your face.

2022 Wedding Makeup Trend 1: Natural Wedding Makeup

Natural and minimalist makeup is a great option for the effortless bride, especially if you’re not confident with bold pigments and shades. It's also super on-trend this year, with so many people embracing their natural beauty. Stick to a flush of blush on the cheeks, a glossy lip and, for a radiant glow that's your skin-but-better, try a lightweight or serum foundation.

2022 Wedding Makeup Trend 2: Glam Wedding Makeup

On the other hand, if you can’t go full glam on your wedding day, then when can you? While natural makeup is in, this is no ordinary day. If you're not used to super bold looks but want to stand out on this special day, we recommend going glam on just your eyes - with big brows and false eyelashes - or on your lip with a bright red or vampy lip. A red lip with soft waves also makes for a gorgeous, old Hollywood vibe that we just adore.

2022 Wedding Makeup Trend 3: Playful Eye Looks

Something blue? Something new? These bold and bright makeup looks are a great way to incorporate 2022's hottest trend - dopamine dressing - into your wedding day. If dopamine dressing's all about stimulating the happy chemicals in your brain, why wouldn't you want this on your wedding day? Simplify the rest of your look and let the eyes do all the work with a pop of electric eyeshadow or runway-esque pearl or flower adhesives around the eyes.

Wedding hair accessories

Wedding hair clips, wedding hair jewellery and now even wedding hair bows? There’s a lot of fun accessories you can add to your ‘do. We love these glam hair slides and the super chic and delicate hair bow. Both add a refreshing twist on classic styles. Keep in place with the perfect styling products.

Wedding hair with veil

When in doubt, get the veil out! Veils don’t have to be some big and never-ending train of taffeta and lace (although we do love those too), instead they can be a chic and simple head piece like these cute ones.

Whether you’re getting married soon or leaving it until next year, we hope you get the day of your dreams. For more inspo take a look at the 30 best wedding hair ideas and the best bridal makeup.
