Wedding Hairstyle Inspirations for 2024

Every bride wants to feel beautiful on her wedding day. From head to toe, details matter when crafting the perfect sophisticated expression of personality and grace on such a momentous occasion. 2024 bridal trends are a dichotomy of decisions, from bold colors and décor and eclectic catering to sleek and elegant attire; the modern wedding is sure to keep you on your toes. A good hairstyle can change the aesthetic of an outfit, and 2024 wedding hairstyle trends are leaning toward glamour, elegance and minimalism. We’ve compiled a handful of wedding hairstyle inspirations for your 2024 wedding!

Smooth Low Bun

The smooth low bun is clean, sophisticated, and sleek. A low bun with slicked back hair at the front is a modern take on a classic hairstyle. An updo allows the bride breathability and aesthetic, removing heavy hair from her neck and ensuring her hair is out of her way while retaining a sense of elegance and maturity. Loose waves framing the face can add to the beauty of the look by creating texture and breaking up the overall cleanliness of the design.

High Up Do’s

In stark contrast with a low, sleek bun, high updos are a fabulous example of another beautiful, classic design. High updos are highly customizable to any bride’s specific character, though they all achieve a modern, glamorous look. The design is relatively simple, starting with a high ponytail fanned and teased into a bun and then decorated with tendrils of hair, braids, and whatever else your stylist desires. These can be as intricate or as simple as the bride pleases, which makes them such a diverse hairstyle for a multitude of distinct brides!

Vintage Inspired Ponytail

The vintage inspired ponytail is a low, elegant ponytail full of volume and character. These are delicate, soft and beautiful for the simple and sophisticated bride. They are often tied up with a wide strand of hair around the middle to create a cohesive and smooth finish to the look. For the perfect feminine design, you cannot go wrong with the vintage inspired ponytail!

Loose Waves

Loose, beachy waves create a modern look with a rustic twist. Feminine and whimsical, loose waves create visual interest and texture in any bride’s hair. You can dress this up with an elegant half-up, half-down look, fun bobby pins, or beautiful clips and hair brooches for decoration.

Natural Texture

For curly and kinky haired girls, embrace your natural hair by emphasizing texture and designing your hairdo around it! Pull your hair back from your face to accentuate jewelry and your stunning facial features but allow some tendrils to fall to highlight your beautiful curly hair.

Unsure of what vibe you’re trying to curate? A good stylist can work with you on your special day to ensure that your hairstyle accentuates your gown or outfit’s neckline and highlights the features of both you and your attire that you want to emphasize. Hairstyles are one aspect of the whole look, so we recommend coordinating your accessories, outfit, shoes and hair as if it were one cohesive work of art! Focus on your own unique character and don’t forget about comfort. An updo may be better for hot, summer weddings to ensure the hair is off the back of your neck to keep you cool on a long day. Long, loose waves or low ponytails that cover the neck and shoulders may be better in the winter and fall to help keep you warm. If you’ll be moving a lot and don’t want to worry about your hair getting in your face, consider sleek looks that keep all of your hair behind your ears. These may seem like small considerations, but you’ll be wearing that hairdo for the duration of the day! Prioritize the way you feel about yourself both internally and externally and you’ll be sure to love whatever hairstyle you ultimately choose for your wedding day. We hope these wedding hairstyles inspire you in choosing your perfect ‘do for your celebration!
