From conventional wedding hairstyles to contemporary dos, the hair fairies at Glamour Hair Salons have shared with us some bespoke wedding hairstyles to compliment your fairytale wedding; which will undoubtedly make every guest’s jaw drop.

Signature Wedding Hairstyles That Will Steal Your Heart

Rainbow in a meadow

This versatile look can be styled in countless ways. Brides seeking a soft look can get their hair straightened and colored with a vibrant unicorn blend. This can also be curled into waves for a more extravagant appearance.

This look can be achieved by treating hair with Affinage volume mousse and blow-drying it to emphasize its volume at the roots and smooth ends. The hair must then be curled with straighteners into waves to intensify its color combination. Finally, twist it around the back of the hairband and pin it down.

Rosé on the beach

For a postcard-perfect wedding, these type of tropical wedding hairstyles glows with gentle windswept vibes and warm sunset hues. This look can be achieved by twisting hair around some padding to create an updo. Then, twist the teased sections with hands to create an understated look, stitching these pieces into place to ensure it is secure. Using thread to secure hair, create a casual texture from side to side.

Braids down the aisle

Best paired with a simple dress, this hairstyle is the main attraction. It will ensure your wedding pictures look eternally chic. This look can be achieved by treating hair with volume mousse and blow-drying it to create texture. It must then be curled with a straightening iron to create a gentle bounce. The front hairline is then separated by an inch around the hairline. Then a small fish braid at the front is teased to create volume. From the center of the top of the scalp, create a big fish braid with small sections of hair. Loosen this for dramatic volume. The end of the big fish braid is twisted and pinned at the nape as a low bun. Sweep hair from the left back and pin loosely into a bun.

Arabian Escape

Inspired by a waterfall, this elegant hairstyle cascades down the bride’s back. Blooming with fresh flowers, it one of the most ultimate wedding hairstyles for the modest bride.

Prep hair prior to styling with a straight blow dry. Using a Hot Tools Curl Bar, create big curls for volume, then using a wide tooth comb, brush out slightly to create picture-perfect waves. To create the half up – half down style, section both side-partings and tease. Using bobby pins, pin individual pieces to create a waterfall effect. Add singular flowers for a touch of elegance.
