Picking an outfit for a wedding (be it a wedding dress, bridesmaid gown or guest attire) can be a mission, but deciding on a hairstyle can often be even harder. On such a memorable day you want to celebrate in style and, of course, with a great hair day too.
Whether you’re the bride, best friend or distant relative we have a few hairstyles up our sleeve to save the day – and a cringeworthy photo. If going all out with a professional stylist isn’t within your budget but you also don’t want to wear that messy bun you’re seen in all too often – fear not.
Scroll these stunning wedding hair ideas to inspire your day-of look, whether it’s a sleek updo, flower embellished fishtail braids or sexy beach tousled curls.

Hot Tip: Pull sections of the braid with your fingers to flatten and create a more relaxed look.
