Trending wedding hairstyles in 2024
Of course, new trends emerge every year, but you shouldn’t blindly copy ideas from the pages of fashion magazines. First, mentally try on the image you like, and if you see that something is wrong, always make adjustments based on personal preferences and individual parameters.
1. “Beach” curls
This is a voluminous, flexible surf style styling. It will suit any type of face and for hair of any length – although it won’t be possible to make it look “like a boy” if it’s too short. There are several varieties of “beach” curls. If the face shape is square, with large features, the curls should be more prominent, moving away from the face. And with an oval or triangular shape, you can make any waves – careless ones, with barely defined curls, are considered classic.
2. Hollywood styling
This is a wedding hairstyle for the bride who wants to look like a Hollywood star. Paired with an elegant dress and nude makeup, the wow effect is guaranteed. Hollywood styling is characterized by even, smooth waves, neatly laid from top to bottom – and no carelessness! By the way, it’s better not to wear a veil so as not to hide your beauty.
3. With flowers
One of the trends is the use of flowers in hairstyles, both live and artificial or dried flowers. Depending on the image, the hairstyle can be decorated with one large bud or small compositions, flower wreaths.
Beautiful wedding hairstyles for short hair
Wedding hairstyles for short hair can look very impressive. The main thing is don’t be afraid to show your imagination, and you will look no less magical than a bride with a waist-length braid..
1. Straight hair
Thanks to the trend towards naturalness, simple straight styling will look very trendy. But choose this hairstyle only if your hair is not curly – otherwise it is difficult to talk about naturalness using a bottle of gel or varnish for fixation. But this is a good opportunity to focus on the shape of the haircut.
2. With a wet effect
Wedding hairstyles with the effect of wet hair are good on strands of any length, both loose and tied up. The main thing is that the bride is not afraid to look extraordinary, because it seems as if she just came out of the water. For a short haircut, this is a non-trivial and convenient option; additional jewelry is also not needed.
3. Wavy
Short hair allows you to create beautiful curls. For a classic and romantic look, medium-sized curls are suitable, and for a more informal style, small curls.
Fashionable wedding hairstyles for medium hair
Wedding hairstyles for medium hair allow you to implement many stylistic solutions. We have selected the most relevant options.
1. Shell
This option is reminiscent of classic evening looks. If you wish, you can make it strict by taking all the strands of hair into your hair. But for a more relaxed option, try making the shell more casual—it would be appropriate for a wedding.
2. With weaving
A braided hairstyle is good for its variability – there are no strict rules. You can make a bun and weave braids into it, connect strands of hair with flowers, ribbons, hairpins with pearls, hide beads in your hair, lay your hair lower or higher – in a word, make any fantasies come true.
3. Messy waves
This styling should look like you spent no more than ten minutes on it. True, the apparent carelessness in fact turns out to be a textured styling. You can leave your hair loose or put it in a bun, tie it in a knot or braid it in a loose braid, leaving a few curls free.
Current wedding hairstyles for long hair
Wedding hairstyles for long hair are good because they allow you to fulfill any idea of the bride – and not have to worry that the strands will not be long enough. But usually long curls are the hardest to style, so before the celebration, allow enough time for the stylist to work.
1. Tail with curled ends
A classic hairstyle that will make any bride look elegant and feminine. The main “trick” of this installation is its apparent simplicity, which is deceptive. It seems that the hair is simply curled and styled – but the hairstyle should retain its original appearance until late in the evening.
2. Loop braid
A romantic option that can be played out in several ways. For example, using a headband.
3. Asymmetry
Asymmetrical hairstyles are equally easy to create on thick or thin hair, the main thing is that they are long enough. The easiest way is to make an asymmetrical bun or ponytail.
Wedding hairstyles with veil
Wedding hairstyles with veils look best on medium to long hair. When choosing a hairstyle, think about how you will attach the veil to your curls. One more nuance – you should not choose an excessively voluminous styling, otherwise in combination with an accessory it will look cumbersome.
1. Low bun
The styling is suitable for elegant looks. You can complement it with a tiara.
2. High bun
Another hairstyle that is very comfortable.
3. Malvinka
Malvinka is a hairstyle when the strands at the temples are fixed at the back of the head. This is very convenient because hair does not get into your eyes. The hairstyle turns out gentle and neat, but not too fluffy – just what you need for a veil.
Wedding hairstyles without a veil
Wedding hairstyles without a veil are good because they can be done in any volume and volume, without regard to the accessory. On the other hand, all the attention of the guests will be focused on the hairstyle, so it must be impeccable. If the wedding is taking place during the hot season, consider wearing your hair higher, leaving your neck completely exposed.
1. Laying on its side
Hair styled in this way emphasizes the oval of the face and visually lengthens the neck. You can make the styling smooth, in a classic style, or complement it with braids and ponytails. Laying it on the side also creates additional visual volume, so it is well suited for those who cannot boast of thick curls.
2. Waves with mini braids
An excellent option for those who want to look impressive, but are not ready to spend several hours on styling.
3. Bun with strands near the face
One of the types of beam. It can be located on the top of the head or in the lower part of the back of the head, but one thing remains unchanged – the strands near the face.
Wedding hairstyles with bangs
The choice of wedding hairstyles for hair with bangs depends on the length of the bangs themselves – if they are too short, they can be difficult to integrate into the desired hairstyle. And if it is elongated or oblique, then no problems should arise.
1. In retro style
In the 20s of the last century, a “cold wave” hanging over the temples and forehead was in fashion. In the 50s and 60s, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly with their soft waves became their idols. Experiment with what suits you best.
2. Greek style
Hair styling in the Greek style is distinguished by tenderness and grace. It can be called universal – it looks equally good with bangs or without. For a Greek style look, you don’t need to curl your hair too much.
3. With rim
Instead of a headband, you can take a diadem or tiara – the essence does not change. Your hair should be curled and styled the way you like. A bun and curls will look equally good with them. But best of all, it complements a lush hairstyle with straight or side-swept bangs.
Wedding hairstyles with loose hair
Hairstyles with loose hair are suitable for everyone, without exception, except perhaps for young ladies with severely damaged hair. But this can also be corrected by trimming the ends before the wedding and taking a course of nourishing masks.
1. Volume curls curled away from the face
Since simplicity is in trend, give up deliberately curled, “doll” curls. It is better when the curls look natural and are not glued together with styling products. Don’t chase huge volumes, keep it in moderation. Choose the intensity of curls as desired.
2. High ponytail on loose hair
The curls can not only be loosened, but also partially gathered into a ponytail.
3. Combed back
Medium-length hair combed back looks especially impressive. The strands can be decorated with flowers, rhinestones, pearls, or the ends can be curled.
Wedding hairstyles with collected hair
Matched hairstyles don’t have to be complicated. On the contrary, there are many simple options that, nevertheless, look like half a day was spent on them.
1. Smooth bun
The sleek bun is one of the most popular wedding hairstyles.
2. Bubble braids
Such braids are conventionally divided into parts using elastic bands. You can additionally beat each compartment and get literally air bubbles.
3. Wavy ponytail
A ponytail will look romantic and festive if you curl your hair with a curling iron. Don’t forget to hide the elastic by wrapping a few strands around it.
Wedding hairstyles with tiara
You should not choose a tiara that is too elaborate – it can get to the point where the accessory will look ridiculous. Give preference to compact, elegant models that will only highlight your beauty and not steal all the attention.
1. Straight hair with curled ends
The tiara can be combined with both loose and gathered curls. Straight hair with curled ends is just the first option. This hairstyle looks especially relevant in the warm season with a bright dress and neutral makeup.

3. Bun of several braids
A combination of two popular hairstyles that look great with a tiara. A bun of several braids is usually distinguished by artistic carelessness – the image immediately becomes more relaxed.
