1. Mother Of The Bride Hairstyle For Short Hair

An asymmetrical bob is a great way for the mother of the bride to look chic and stylish without stealing the show. Simply, apply some light mousse to your hair, then style it in a deep side parting. Tuck the front of your hair on the shorter side behind the ear, and voila! You are good to go! This hairstyle is so effortless and easy to achieve. The mousse ensures that your locks stay in place until the party has ended. You can elevate this look by adding colored extensions. They help create dimension, fullness, and texture for a little fun – and help ensure the bride’s mother too looks “epic” in her appearance!

2. Mother Of The Bride Hairstyle For Long Hair

Got a gorgeous long mane? If you want to keep things chic and simple, loose Hollywood waves are your go-to with the right kind of dress and accessories. Soft, glamorous waves that cascade down the shoulders pair perfectly with a classy off-shoulder dress or a sleek, floor-length flowy gown along and statement earrings. You can also add a hairpin tucked on one side to keep things fresh.

3. Mother Of The Bride Over 50 Hairstyle

Most mothers have a lot to do at weddings. Making sure your daughter is having the best wedding ever, checking on the guests, ensuring everyone is fed, and what not. If you think your long longs will come in the way of things, why not opt for a classy timeless chignon updo. It pairs well with any wedding attire, be it a chic pantsuit or a long gown. You can accessorize the bun with rhinestones, flowers, pearls, or lovely decorative pins.

4. Mother Of The Bride Hairstyle For Thin Hair

This traditional bun is perfect for women dealing with thinning hair who want to avoid damaging their locks with dreaded hot tools like curling wands and irons. No need to stress over the heat damage when you have got this elegant bun to save the day. The traditional bun can be styled to add that little extra oomph to your hair by giving it volume and fullness. Tease your hair at the front just a little, then comb down the top so it looks neat. Comb back all your hair in a mid-high ponytail. Tease the hair in the ponytail a bit, then tie a knot with your hair to form the bun and secure it with a hair color elastic tie and pins. Gently tug on the bun to pull the hair, making it look fuller. Spritz on some hairspray. You can keep it smooth and sleek for a polished look or softly tousled with a few face-framing strands if you are feeling a bit more fancy.

5. Mother Of The Bride Hairstyle For Shoulder-Length Hair

If you have shoulder-length hair and are scrambling with last-minute wedding madness, you should definitely go for a loose French twist updo. This hairstyle adds a cool vibe to the classic French twist hairstyle. This should be done on day old hair. First, apply some lightweight mousse and heat protectant to your hair. Then style it in loose curls or waves using a curler. Pin up the top part of your hair in alternate sections to form a creative half-updo. Then gather the rest of your hair and style it in a loose French twist.  It is sophisticated, classic, and oh-so-easy, making it the perfect style when you are juggling a million things on the big day.

6. Mother Of The Bride Hairstyle For Curly Hair

You can never go wrong with curly hair at weddings, especially if it’s your own daughter’s big day! Flaunt those curls with this effortlessly laid-back curly updo. Start off by styling your hair in slightly big ringlets. Don’t forget to apply some mousse and protectant beforehand. You can also use pin curls. They are the perfect way to ensure these curls are set and will last throughout the celebration. Then gently run your fingers through the tight curls to loosen them up just a tiny bit. Spritz on some hairspray to keep those waves in place and gather your curls into a loose, relaxed bun at the back. The key is to pin some strands at the front and let some fall freely as well. This is the perfect blend of carefree and elegance for your daughter’s big day.

7. Updo Hairstyle For Mother Of The Bride

Crown braids never go out of style! But if you want to add a grown up touch to them, then try this look. Divide your hair from ear to ear, creating a smaller top section and a longer bottom section. Clip up the top section, then divide the lower section in two halves and weave them each into a braid. Secure the braids with thin elastic bands. Unclip the top section, and tease it a bit at the crown. Wrap the top section into a mid-high bun. Then criss-cross the braids and wrap them around your head. This updo is your ticket to looking like the queen at your princess’ special day.

8. Mother Of The Bride Hairstyles With Bangs

If you have bangs, styling them in a side-swept manner can never go wrong. Side-swept bangs pair well with all face shapes and add a nice oomph to your regular updo. You can style these bangs with a high, mid, or low bun. Leave out a few face framing strands to add a romantic touch to your hairstyle. Bangs are a great way to soften any updo, adding just the right amount of edge and elegance without going overboard. Plus, they are the perfect excuse to switch things up a bit, because who says moms can not have a little fun with their hair?
