5 Bridal Hairstyles That Are Perfect For Your 2021 Wedding

The Classic Half-Updo

The half-up, half-down hairstyle is perfect for the minimalist bride. It shift's focus to your hair’s natural length and volume—with soft, gentle waves—giving you a feminine touch. You may also go ahead and add elegant details such as braids, hair twists, micro flowers, or slide in intricate hair clips. 

Embrace the Bun 

A bridal hairdo as simple as a low or twisted bun is perfect for the casual, fun-loving bride who prioritises comfort over style. A messy bun could also do the trick, if complimented with the right add-ons—think baby's breath flowers!

Alternatively, if you wish to go glam, make a statement with the crown braid bun. Simple and stylish! 

Traditional With a Contemporary Twist

Modern brides are readily opting for this classic hairstyle for their nuptials. Take this evergreen pick to the next level by jazzing it up with fresh details—foliage or an embellished hair clip maybe? For a flattering look, be sure to create volume at the crown of your head.

Pro tip: Don't shy away from hair extensions, if need be. 

A Statement Bridal Braid

You can never really go wrong with a braid. To upgrade your traditional hairdo, opt for a fishtail or cross-sectional braid, rather than the usual. To add a touch of drama and quirk, embellish your braid with gajra flowers (take a cue from Sonam Kapoor's mehendi look!), a mathapatti, or a kundan headband.

Simple Yet Stunning

Sleek open hair, paired with opulent accessories and hair ornaments including a maang tikka, flowers, or crystals, is all you need to amp up your minimalist bridal look. Twisted hair with braids or a loose bun can also make for the perfect hairstyle to compliment your heavily-embroidered bridal attire.

You may also choose to curl your locks and let them loose across your shoulders—this will give way to a fuller, voluminous look.
