30 Wedding Hair Ideas

From the cake to the flower arrangements and seating plan, there’s a lot of important decisions to be made when it comes to wedding planning, but maybe the biggest of them all (after saying ‘I do’, of course) is hair.

Finding a once-in-a-lifetime hairdo that’s true to your style, complements your dress and doesn’t make you cringe in years to come can be difficult. And, since wedding hair has come a long way from the old Hollywood waves, pin curls and Gatsby glam, it can get a little overwhelming.

Here at Cosmetify, not only do we want to help you find your dream wedding hairstyle, but we also want to ease the process. So, we’ve rounded up 30 wedding hair ideas, for all hair types and styles, that we know you’ll fall head over heels for.

Up-do Wedding Hair Ideas

The up-do is a classic wedding hairstyle that's super popular among soon-to-be brides. Neat, sophisticated and tucked away from your face, it's a serious candidate for your big day (although it could take a couple of trial runs beforehand). Take your pick from the likes of sleek top knots, braided buns and pretty ponytails.

Long hair is a blessing when it comes to creating the ultimate wedding hairdo. The half up, half down look is super flattering with a veil, whilst free-flowing waves will have you feeling like a true princess. Not to mention, you can twist and twirl your hair into all kinds of rose-shaped designs that are perfect for the big day.
