1. Bridesmaid Hairstyle For Long Hair
This voluminous wavy hairstyle is the epitome of elegance. And when you part your hair in the middle, the volume shows from the roots through the middle of the hair length. This trendy hairstyle is perfect for your best friend’s special day! The modish hairdo features a seamless blend of platinum, blonde, and ash-brown colors that exude sophisticated glamor. The balayage technique blends the colors effortlessly and the subtle waves further accentuate the overall effect.
2. Bridesmaid Half-Up Hairstyle
This is the ultimate glam bridesmaid hairstyle where the hair is pulled back in a half-up ‘do and secured with a hairpin. The front has loose waves that have been slightly teased and twisted into a half-ponytail at the back of the head. The big, loose, and bouncy curls cascade down her back. The caramel and blonde highlights, combined with the darker roots, add even more depth and dimension.
3. Bridesmaid Hairstyle For Short Hair
This short hairstyle has a quintessential cool-girl vibe. And we can’t deny that loose, beachy waves look flattering on any hair type! The hair here is styled in S-shaped waves that frame the face nicely on both sides. Moreover, the platinum blonde color adds an extra oomph factor to the look. The hairstyle is perfect if you wish to sport something easy to maintain and also looks alluring.
4. Bridesmaid Updo Hairstyle
Updos have always been one of the top elegant hairstyles. If low buns are your go-to hairstyle and you want to keep it low-key, try this elegant bun. This hairstyle looks sophisticated but at the same time, gives a boho-chic vibe. It is ideal for daytime weddings and hot, humid weather. The hair pins with stone detailing on both sides of the bun further accentuate the overall beauty of the look.
5. Bridesmaid Hairstyle For Natural Hair
If you want to make a simple but effective statement at the wedding, this classic box braid style is to go for. The long box braids look elegant and the front braids beautifully frame the face. You can always decorate them with beads or add colorful extensions when weaving the braids. However, if you are unsure about how the color or accessories will complement your gown, keep it simple. The hairdo will undoubtedly make you stand out from the crowd at the wedding. They not only showcase your culture but also appear drop-dead gorgeous.
6. Bridesmaid Hairstyle For Medium Hair
Channel your inner ‘80s diva with this curly hairstyle featuring tight ringlets! The fluffy curls, starting just a few inches below the roots, give the hair the much-coveted volume and create a glamorous look. This style is ideal for medium-length hair, as the ringlets land just on your shoulders and bounce beautifully. Do a messy parting or go for a deep side parting to add playful sophistication to your look.
7. Bridesmaid Hairstyle For Chubby Face
You can never go wrong with the classic bob hairstyle, especially if you have fine hair.
This short, layered bob hairstyle with piecey bangs is ideal for a chubby and round face. The bangs and the front layers flipped inward, towards the neck help frame the face and offer a slimming effect. The soft layers add dimension and aid in balancing the natural roundness.
8. Bridesmaid High Bun Hairstyle
Bun hairstyles are timeless – whether you go for a sleek look or a more relaxed, messy chic style like the hairdo in the above image. The high bun hairstyle creates a soft feminine look that can complement your bridesmaid gown beautifully. While this hairdo is done in dark brown hair, adding light highlights or dual tones can further enhance your hair and make it more appealing.
As a bridesmaid, planning a perfect hairstyle is essential as you would want to go with something that complements the wedding theme, your attire, and your facial features. There are numerous hairstyles to choose from, be it an elegant updo, braids, or soft beach waves. However, while looking stunning is important, prioritize choosing a style that you are comfortable with. It should offer comfort and should be able to hold up throughout the day, especially if you are helping with the wedding preparations. We hope our list of top bridesmaid hairstyles has provided you with inspiration and taken one less thing off your plate.
