46 Bridesmaids Hairstyles They Will Love

Your bridesmaids are an essential part of your big day, and the right hairstyles for them can elevate their look, complement their dresses, and enhance the overall aesthetic of your wedding.

Your bridal look should capture who you are, your style and sensibilities, and showcase a more polished version of you. Similarly, your bridesmaids should also look and feel their best on your wedding day. Bridal party trends have shifted a lot over the years from clones of each other to individualised looks that capture their unique personalities. Think mix and match bridesmaids dresses, colours and bridesmaids hairstyles.

From a practical perspective, what might look beautiful on one bridesmaids may not suit the personality or body shape of another bridesmaid. So we’ve pulled together our favourite bridesmaids hairstyles which we know they’ll love. Scroll below for our favourite loose wavy hairstyles, ponytails, half up hairstyles and romantic updos.

1. Loose wavy hairstyles for bridesmaids

From boho chic to polished and formal, loose wavy hairstyles feel effortless and romantic. Long loose waves suits all bridesmaid dress necklines and frames all face shapes beautifully. Your bridesmaids don’t need to have long hair to pull off this look either. All out hair that’s been softly curled works beautifully in short, medium and long hair lengths. We love this look for beach weddings, garden nuptials and formal affairs.

Customisation ideas: For a slightly more formal look, consider a half up, half down style that incorporates loose waves. This adds a bit of structure while maintaining the relaxed vibe. Or mix and match loose waves and half up styles among your bridal party for a cohesive yet coordinated look.

2. Ponytails for bridesmaids

For modern maidens, a ponytail is the perfect hairstyle for fashion forward bridal parties. Not blessed with luscious long hair? No worries – consider hair extensions for some instant length.

If you’re looking to give your bridesmaids a gift to show them how much you adore them, perhaps some statement earrings might be the perfect finishing touch to their bridesmaids looks.

Customisation ideas: Customise the ponytail’s height to suit each bridesmaid’s face shape and style preference. A high ponytail offers a more playful, youthful look, while a low ponytail exudes elegance and maturity.

3. Half up hairstyles for bridesmaids

Half up hairstyles are functional, beautiful and versatile. They suit a range of face shapes, hair lengths and have the added benefit of keeping strands of hair off their faces.

A half up half down hairstyle provides the perfect foundation to tuck in fresh flowers or a delicate hair comb or hair pin. If you’d love to capture a more organic vibe, think baby’s breath or a beautiful spray of green foliage for a look that’s natural and bohemian inspired.

Customisation ideas: For a relaxed, bohemian vibe, consider mixing braids to add a playful touch to your bridal party. Adorn their braids with small flowers, pearl hair pins to enhance the laid-back aesthetic.

4. Romantic bridesmaids updos

You can’t go wrong with a romantic updo for your bridesmaids. Whether it’s simple and chic or loosely tousled, bridal updos suit a range of necklines on bridesmaids dresses. It’s a perfect choice for formal affairs or hot summer weddings outdoors. Practical, effortless and oh-so-chic.

There’s countless updos to draw inspiration from – French twists, romantic braids, ballerina buns, textured updos – you name it. Mix and match updos for a look that your girls will adore.

Customisation ideas: Embrace texture by adding volume and loose strands to the bun. Adjust the height of the bun depending on the ace shape and preferences of your bridal party for a personalisaed look. This creates a more natural, effortless look that’s still chic and stylish.
