Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair

Brides with long hair usually opt to have updos for formal weddings, but hairstylists have taken the classic updo and gave them a more modern twist. Take a look!


This classic coif has is given a dash of contemporary style with the twisted style. Start with a spiral and pull hair into a ponytail to the left of center. Twist it tightly into a rope, then wrap it around and pin into a knot. Finish off with two crystal hairpins in the color of your wedding palette.
 


Nothing is sexier than an artfully messy updo. To snag this look, make small tight curls using a curling iron. Then brush out the ringlets, pull them up, and pin them randomly, beginning with the crown of the hair. Finish off with a light hairspray for a natural look and add a brooch or sparkling hairpin, if you desire.


Brides with full bangs will look great in this updated classic coif. Make a loose ponytail, fold it in half upward, and pin with the ends left loose to make a loop. I can totally see this hairstyle working with a modern wedding dress.


Doing a sideswept bun is one way to update an updo, but you’ll make more heads turn if the shape of the bun is scrunchy rather than sleek. Pull your hair into a low, off-center ponytail. Curl with a curling iron, tease, and twist strands to create a 3-D knot. Secure with pins and use hair gel for long-lasting hold.


If you’re wearing a vintage wedding dress, consider taking your hair to new heights. Curl with a curling iron and pull your hair into a high ponytail. Create a halo-like circle on the top of your head by twisting hair into a large knot. Loosen locks in the front to create more volume.
