1. Twisted Updo
This is one of the easiest wedding hairstyles for long hair. It consists of three interwoven twists and is simple enough for any stylist to achieve with medium or long hair (although you’d never guess it by looking). For a full tutorial, see this YouTube video from hairstylist Sklemina Tatiana.
2. Braided Updo
This classic updo is formed by interweaving two beautiful dutch braids and wrapping them around the head to form a crown. All eyes will be on you as you walk down the aisle with this gorgeous, halo-like hairstyle. To get a better idea of how this style actually looks, check out this detailed tutorial from Alex Gaboury.
3. Simple Updo
The beauty of this simple style is its versatility. Another relatively simple option, this style is excellent for both casual and formal events. YouTube channel Hairstyle Tutorials has a great walkthrough that’s sure to inspire you and your stylist as you brainstorm ideas.
4. Messy Updo
To create this beautiful hairstyle, hair is curled before it’s interwoven with twists and secured together with pins and tied into a bun. Consider leaving some curls dangling for a nonchalant yet elegant and composed look. In this video tutorial, hairstylist Andreeva Nata does a great job of showing what a messy updo can achieve.
5. Old Hollywood Waves
Sometimes called retro waves or Marcel waves, this timeless hairstyle conveys a sense of class with its stylish, wavy curls. Brides worldwide love this hairstyle for its versatility and glamorous associations – as the name implies, this style was born in Hollywood as far back as the 1920s. For a full tutorial, see this video, also from Andreeva Nata.
6. Sleek Low Bun
Never underestimate the power of simplicity. If your goal is to look regal and dignified, then this tight, simple style may be exactly what you’re looking for. To get a better idea of how this style might look on you, see this tutorial from Effortless Beauty.
7. Half Up Half Down
Having trouble deciding whether to wear your hair up or down? Why not both? This is potentially our favorite wedding hairstyle for long hair. If you seek wedding styles for long hair that flaunt its length, consider wearing your hair half up, half down. Aside from keeping your hair out of your face, this style is more accommodating for veils and other adornments. This video from Megan Lorson does a great job of showing the beauty that can be achieved with half up half down hairstyling.
8. Simple Low Bun
If you’re worried that other hairstyles will take too much attention away from your other features, you might prefer this simple, pulled-back look. This detailed tutorial from Emily DiDonato and her stylist shows how to create a hairstyle that doesn’t distract.
9. Double Dutch Bridal Braid
This hairstyle is a variation of the bridal braid updo mentioned earlier. The key difference is that three braids are used instead of two. The result is a thick crown of braids that’s modern and trendy. Jenny Strebe has a fantastic tutorial for mid-length hair, but the style is equally suitable for long hair.
10. Full Bridal Braid
This style is dramatic yet playful. It’s a fantastic choice for those who want a sophisticated look that conveys magnificence without sacrificing comfort. Stephanie Brinkerhoff and Kenra Professional have posted this wonderful tutorial showing exactly which products and processes create the perfect braid.
Don’t Be Afraid To Be Bold
