An updo is an elegant style perfect for bridesmaids with long locks, and adding flowers, twists, or other hair pieces can give it a more feminine character.
Braids have always been associated with femininity. Lupita Nyong’o proves this point by sporting her stunning side braid coif in her tapered pixie cut for a bridesmaid-worthy style.
Twisted Bun
For a romantic and sophisticated look, opt for the twisted bun hairstyle. Ideal for girls with medium to long locks, this look can be made even more striking by adding small details such as flower pins. Perfect for formal events like weddings and upscale birthday parties alike!
It takes practice to master this hairstyle, but once you do, you can rock this stylish updo with ease! To achieve this chignon, create a high ponytail and wrap it in a flat twist. Next, secure any loose strands behind the bun with bobby pins before spraying with hairspray to complete this look.
Half Up and Half Down
Half-up and half-down bridesmaid hairstyles are an elegant choice that will complement any dress style. Choose between detailed braided styles or opt for something more straightforward with a barrette or headband; for an artsy, free-spirited feel perfect for backyard weddings, add dainty headchains for an artsy edge!
If a sleek style doesn’t suit your bridal party’s vibe, try something casual like a textured French twist, or upgrade your classic ponytail with a zig-zag bubble braid instead. Both updos add dimension and romantic charm; floral crowns or lush vines can add extra romance. Alternatively, this updo works just as well for formal affairs; brides who wish to show off their length might prefer this version.
Classic Curls
Curls are an elegant style choice that complements any hairstyle perfectly. For an old-school and romantic vibe, try opting for a curly Caesar cut with short horizontal bangs of the same length as your remaining locks – this allows natural texture to shine through while keeping strands looking neat and polished!
A voluminous pompadour is an eye-catching style perfect for women with longer locks that are both feminine and seductive. Wavy or curly locks work exceptionally well, as their waves create a volume that draws attention to your pretty face.
If you have shorter hair, one adorable way to display its curls is with vintage pin curls. Using foam rollers and rattail comb, you can create rows of stand-out coils that run down your head for an elegantly vintage aesthetic.
Side Wavy Downdo
If you’re seeking a romantic look, try a side wavy downdo. This hairstyle pairs beautifully with any formal dress and can easily be styled by using texturizing spray on your locks before pinning back strands of the downdo. This soft feminine hairstyle can easily be dressed up or down depending on accessories added to this hairdo.
If you’re planning a wedding, a high-side pompadour is an elegant look to consider for any venue or season. Simply use texturizing spray to add texture, tease out volume at the crown before smoothing into place using bobby pins. Add fun flair with jeweled barrettes or wear with a beret for an opulent touch!
Chic Low Bun
Style your hair into a classic low bun for an elegant and understated look that complements minimalist dresses as well as those featuring intricate embellishments like embroidery or beads. It looks great both on straight and wavy locks; making this style ideal for weddings or proms.
Add more dimension and volume to your bun with the wet look with styled baby hair/edges for added dimension and volume. It’s a striking, playful, yet effortless style which looks elegant when accessorized with floral or rhinestone pins or clips.
If your bangs keep falling off, this hairstyle could be the solution. Simply create a side part and French braid along your hairline before tying into a ponytail and wrapping around the base of a low bun for extra security with bobby pins.
