7 Dreamy Bridal Braid Hairstyles to Try
There’s something about braided hairstyles that’s too sweet and pretty to resist, making them perfect for a wedding. Whether you’re a guest, a bridesmaid, or the star of the day, these eight gorgeous dos are bound to inspire you!
1. HIGH BRAIDED BUN
A regal look with lots of attitude, the high braided bun adds height and elegance to the wearer, especially when coupled with a pretty tiara or headpiece.
2. BRAIDED CHIGNON
The braided chignon is a bridal classic that provides plenty of room for twists. The original chignon is great for more textured hair, as it allows it to be controlled while maintaining its natural waves and curls.
3. FRENCH BRAIDED CHIGNON
French braids often start from the top or the sides of the head, so this variation of the classic chignon shows off more of the braids and is better suited for smoother hair.
4. MULTI BRAID CHIGNON
The multi-braid chignon uses plaits of different widths, styles and thickness to create a beautiful interplay of textures that still looks fresh and effortless.
5. FISHTAIL
Once you master the fishtail, it becomes a cinch to do and it’s guaranteed to look stylish and chic without any fuss. Tight or tousled, you decide how to finish it off.
6. WATERFALL BRAIDS AND LOOSE CURLS
You can use braids as a detail even if you’re wearing your hair down. Waterfall braids create a delicate lattice of hair which is then secured by an ordinary braid around the back of the head. Let the rest of your hair flow freely!
7. LOOSE BRAID
A braid by any other name is just as sweet – you can style your hair into a braid without affixing it, getting the benefits of the plaited waves and leaving hairspray to do the heavy lifting for you.
