Wedding hairstyles for long hair - which ones to choose? The options for brides are very diverse. But in general, wedding hairstyles for long hair are divided into loose and gathered. Which “bow” is closer to you?

Collected wedding hairstyles for long hair

A wedding hairstyle for long hair is usually chosen not only based on personal preferences. But also in accordance with what the wedding will be like: for a noisy and active wedding, with dancing, collected wedding hairstyles are well suited. In general, wedding hairstyles for long hair, gathered in a bun, braid or ponytail, will be a good choice in the following cases:

  • You don't want to draw attention away from the dress.
  • You would like to focus on your face (makeup).
  • The oval of your face, neck and shoulders are your strengths that are worth showing.

Celebration style

The time of day in the wedding ceremony also determines the moments when choosing a hairstyle. So, if the wedding is held mainly during the daytime, the styling should be more modest and the hair should be collected. It is better to avoid bright accessories and hair clips.

Evening hairstyles give more room for imagination. You can choose free-falling locks with shiny accents, original hair decorations and extravagant styling options.

If you are participating in a themed wedding, you will have to match the declared style as closely as possible. These can be feminine and bewitching retro hairstyles, natural light hairstyles, luxurious baroque hairstyles with strong curls and many complex elements, 1920s aesthetics and much more, which only the holiday organizers have enough imagination for.

Wedding hairstyle for long hair: bun

Traditional options like the sophisticated sleek bun remain timeless. This hairstyle is quite easy to do yourself, and for a stylist it will not be difficult at all.

Or, say, you can consider fashionable options for wedding hairstyles with bangs. For hairstyles like the one in the photo below, you need hair gel or hair paste. And a little patience!

By the way, slicked back hair and sleek hairstyles with a wet effect are a hot trend. To be a fashionable bride, you don’t have to exactly repeat the bold look from the runway, you just need to be a little inspired by it.

Shell

The bride’s “shell” hairstyle is a conservative and elegant styling that will add regal grace. Looks more impressive on dark monochrome hair, often without a veil.

Option with fleece:

Curls can be released from the shell and curled, laid on top. Oblique bangs will suit those with wide cheekbones and full lips.

Wedding hairstyles for long hair - in a ponytail


The tail has great potential.

Without a doubt, the tail has a lot of potential! Especially if you fix your hair in a more neat or unusual way, add volume, imagination and large accessories, as is fashionable this season. If we consider the ponytail as a full-fledged evening hairstyle, especially with decorative elements, reliable fixation is simply necessary.

Harmony of the image

A bride's hairstyle without a veil can also be etched in the memory of guests and the groom forever. However, it is worth remembering that it will be better if a harmonious and stylish image, rather than individual memorable details, sinks into their souls. So green flip-flops and a shoulder bag combined with a white dress will, of course, impress all the guests, but not quite in the right way. Therefore, the image should be carefully thought out so that everything in it speaks of the girl’s ideal taste and subtle sense of style.

  1. Dress. The main thing when choosing a dress is not to get carried away by the pursuit of fashion. The dress should suit the bride's figure, and its shade should be correctly matched to the skin color. Not all of us have an ideal appearance, and therefore what looks good on a model will not always look the same on us. The most versatile dresses are A-line or Greek style, suitable for almost any woman.
  2. Shoes. The times when wedding shoes had to be exclusively white are long gone. Now they have every right to be bright. If you decide to revive your image in this way, then remember that the shoes, however, should resonate with some detail of the image. This could be a bouquet, ribbons in a hairstyle, or decorative elements of a dress. If radically bright colors are not for you, choose beige or peach shoes, which also visually lengthen your legs.
  3. The bride's bouquet. Nowadays, as everywhere else, eco-style, craft paper and handmade are in use. Whether it’s original or not is a very controversial question, so if you like it, take note; if you don’t like it, forget it and give preference to classic bouquets.
  4. Decorations. Try to emphasize your strengths: emphasize your long neck with an elegant necklace, thin wrists with a neat bracelet, and the shape of your face with matching earrings. Don’t forget that proper combination with decorative elements of the dress and a sense of proportion are the key to choosing the right jewelry.
  5. Makeup. Leave clean lines, bright colors and sparkles for other celebrations. Wedding makeup should be gentle and highlight the natural beauty of the bride. A light smokey eye, lush eyelashes and delicate lips are welcome.

Wedding hairstyles for long hair - collected with a bandage or headband

Wedding hairstyles for long hair can be collected not only under a veil or tiara. Following the general trends in hairstyles, retro-style headbands or headbands began to be used in bridal looks.

By the way, such a hairstyle can be additionally decorated with flowers or a veil, and the strands can be left loose. However, if we are talking about collected hairstyles, as in the first row in the photo, you can only release a few strands from the bandage and curl them.

Hair plaits are now so popular that they are widely used in wedding and evening hairstyles. Hairstyles with plaits look stylish and original; they are a worthy alternative to the usual braids. The strands twisted from the side strands are intertwined and smoothly turn into a low bun. To complete the look, decorate your hair with a delicate handmade accessory.

Elegant headband

Collected hairstyles often look too simple. But with the right accessory, you can turn any modest wedding hairstyle into something stunning. An elegant headband decorated with pearls and rhinestones looks great as a wedding accessory, and the hairstyle looks elegant and sophisticated. Moreover, it is very simple to perform and does not require professional hairdressing skills.

High bun with veil

The bun is a classic wedding hairstyle, relevant at all times. Although low buns are more traditional, high buns lifted from the back of the head to the top of the head will help elongate the silhouette of a short bride. Plus, if you place your bun at the top of your head, you can attach your wedding veil underneath it. Leave a few strands loose around your face to balance out the heavy veil.

Probably, the trend for flowers will never go away from wedding hairstyles, which means it will suit even the most conservative bride.

Under the veil

A veil is an essential attribute for many brides. All the more important is the selection of hairstyles that fit perfectly with a veil.

Wedding hairstyle for long hair: braid

Depending on the wishes of the bride, the braid can be tight or loose, with loose strands in a boho style. Braided hair holds its shape for a long time, and in the morning it will create beautiful waves.

How to choose a wedding hairstyle for long hair

Choosing a wedding hairstyle is a responsible task. After all, you will not only have to appear with her at a gala event, but also admire her in photographs.

These tips may help you look your best at your wedding.

Taking care of the health of your curls

Any styling looks better on healthy, nourished hair. Take the time to prepare your curls for the event. A few weeks before your wedding, book an in-salon hair strengthening treatment.

Choosing a hairstyle based on your face type

There are also several features that are worth considering.

1. Those with fine features can safely choose a hairstyle with large curls to create a classic, delicate look. Large curls beautifully emphasize the thickness of the hair.

2. Brides with large facial features are advised to avoid voluminous hairstyles, which can look caricatured. It is better to pay attention to such a popular hairstyle as a smooth bun or ideally straighten and decorate your loose hair with a small wreath.

3. Girls with long faces should refrain from high hairstyles and give preference to soft styles with loose or half-down hair.

4. If the bride wants to hide a large forehead, side bangs will help out.

5. We advise brides with large noses to give preference to half-down hairstyles. Soft curls framing the face will make the nose appear smaller. A strand combed over the forehead or long bangs will help achieve an additional effect.

Wedding hairstyles for long flowing hair

Loose long hair for a wedding is no less popular option than collected hairstyles. This is because loose and half-up wedding hairstyles are what brides with long and well-groomed hair need.

How to decorate a wedding hairstyle for long hair

For example, we list classic options that will never go out of fashion.

A wreath of fresh or dried flowers. A wreath ideally emphasizes the delicate beauty and fragility of the bride. Experts advise those with thin hair to weave one large flower into their locks. For lucky women with lush and thick hair, on the contrary, it is better to choose small, monochromatic flowers.

Thin silver bezel This option looks even more elegant than a tiara. Added bonus: less decorations required. You can ditch the necklace and wear studs instead of large earrings.

A comb or branch made of rhinestones. The hairpin should not be large, so as not to distract attention from the bride herself. Perhaps you have a family comb or grandma's patterned hairpin? Now is the time to get them out of the chest.

Tips for the bride


Refusal of a veil emphasizes the bride’s courage and her independence from prejudice. Such a girl is modern, knows what she wants, and most often gets it. We have put together some useful recommendations that will make the bride's path to her dream hairstyle easier.

  1. Pay attention to the weather forecast. Is your wedding scheduled for a very hot day? Give preference to collected hair, this will make it much easier to endure the heat. If weather forecasters promise rain, then don’t forget to take a nice umbrella with you.
  2. Try to keep your hair looking as natural as possible. Use minimal hair products. A hairstyle that looks natural gives the impression that you are just as beautiful on any other day.
  3. Remember that the latest trends in the world of wedding fashion are a call for originality. Bold decisions with veils, combs, flowers and hats are welcome, the main thing is not to overdo it.

Classic styling

Classic styling option. This hairstyle option suits every man. To do this, you just need to comb all your hair back. Next step: make a side parting and open your forehead. Sometimes it happens that the length of the bangs is slightly longer than the rest of the hair.

To style it, you need to lift your hair a little using gel or mousse. This styling is reminiscent of the style that was characteristic of the thirties of the last century.

Shoulder length haircut

But not all men have short hair. There are also guys who wear shoulder-length hair. Medium hair length also looks attractive. The haircut can be either even or stepped. But whatever the haircut, you need to wash your hair well and dry it with a towel.

Now foam is applied to the hair, then it is dried with a hairdryer, but not too much, but simply by blowing it on the curls. It turns out to be a romantic image.

Original hairstyles with bangs

For many young ladies, bangs are an addition to their haircut, and the overall appearance of their hair largely depends on its condition. If you decide to change the type or length of your bangs, then this should be done a couple of weeks before the celebration so that the cut hair gets used to the new style. Straight bangs open up so many possibilities and look wonderful with curls, a bun or a shell. A hairstyle with braids will not tolerate unnecessary frills along the forehead line. Long bangs can be beautifully styled in a wave, or included in the overall styling or braiding. Oblique bangs can decorate any wedding hairstyle, be it loose curls, original weaves, backcombing, high or low bun. Short bangs act as the most versatile option.

Short haircut

Short haircuts are always in fashion. Recently, little has changed in this direction. Making hair of this length beautiful will not be difficult. For styling you will need gel. You just need to take the gel and apply it to your curls, pulling your hair up. Instead of gel, you can also use wax.

The styling can be made careless if you comb your hair back a little using your fingers. The entire styling is fixed with varnish, unless the gel has a very strong hold.
