Hairstyles with braids for brides and wedding guests
Braided hairstyles for weddings
If bohemian style is your thing, you've probably already noticed that braided bridal hairstyles are a big trend these past few seasons . You know I'm a big fan of brides with their hair down and flowing, but since discovering half-up styles with braids and flowers, I can't imagine a bride or guest without them!A few days ago I was talking to a bride at the atelier who asked me for advice on what hairstyle to wear for her wedding. I suggested a side fishtail braid like this one because she has medium-length hair and I thought it suited her style and the dress she had chosen for her wedding very well.
These past few days I've been looking for more ideas to advise brides in person, and I wanted to put together a selection of braided bridal hairstyles to inspire you. These styles can be worn with your hair down, in a half-up style, or in updos or half-updos. If you're a bridesmaid, a guest, or attending any other type of event, these hairstyles will also be perfect for you. I've already chosen the one I'm going to wear to the next wedding!
Hairstyles with braids and loose hair
If your style is bohemian and you want to wear your hair down like a surfer , add one of these braids and your hair will look gorgeous. If you want to create the illusion of more hair, you can always braid it with extensions in the same color as your own hair. A touch of fresh or preserved flowers will give you an even fresher and more natural look. Flowers work really well when you want to move away from the typical "formal bride" look.
Half-updo with braids
If you think you look better with your hair away from your face but you like the movement of loose hair, a good choice is a half-updo with braids . It will give you a relaxed and natural look, and you won't feel like you're wearing a classic bridal updo. It's a hairstyle that can have a vintage touch and looks great with a flower crown or a hair accessory placed over the braid.
Updo with braids
Your dress has a low back and you want your hair neatly styled to show it off? Choose an updo with braids. The bohemian style that braids give you will make you feel fresh. You won't feel overly styled, especially if you let a few strands fall loose at the sides and create a voluminous updo.
Viking braids
Oh yes! Ever since I saw the star of Vikings with her braids and elaborate hairstyles , I've been obsessed with her style. Call me a geek. If you're into the medieval princess look with a rock 'n' roll edge (does such a thing even exist?), you could definitely go for one of her braided hairstyles—you'll look absolutely stunning. And send me a picture, I'd love to see it!
