#1 Soft and Sweet

Half-up, half-down bridesmaid hairstyles are still trending, but you can go a step ahead and infuse the appeal of braids into the raging hairstyle. This is one of those chic bridesmaid hairstyles for long hair that gets the hair out of your face, makes the tresses manageable, and looks gorgeously stunning. Since the tresses are slightly waved out (neatly too) and fixed through the hair spray, it also gives an opportunity to flaunt your hair.

#2 A Half-Ponytail & Varied Styles

Incorporating many versions of hairdos in one and still making it look cohesive is only a work of a professional hairstylist. There’s the femininity of the ponytail, the charm of waves, and the ethereal element of the half-up, half-down ‘do all mixed in one. This hairstyle can surely take time to create, but the end result, as you can see, is a breathtaking affair. Plus, the style goes with any kind of bridesmaid theme you have planned – formal to boho-chic, this has an attribute to look gorgeous with any dress type.

#3 Waves Topped With A Headband

Bombshell curls are the way to go if you’re in love with the idea of extravagance, glamorous, and peppy. Do make sure that these characteristics are also reflected in the wedding theme though. A casual, garden affair and bombshell curls are definitely not a good match. Add a minimal headband to accessorize the glamorous look with some romantic drama.

#4 Simple, Relaxed, And Elegant

Simple waves that are just enhanced with some volume and tucked in place using hair spray are a perfect hairstyle idea for the bride and her bridesmaid. It might seem like upstaging a bride trying to match with her hairstyle, but if she’s okay with it, why question the idea? Clearly, it looks gorgeous and the portraits will turn out to be quite dreamy as well.

#5 Braids For The Win! 

There are really so many numerous ways to experiment with a braid and if you’re splurging on a professional hairstylist, prepare to be surprised by their inherent creativity. Here, the hairstylist starts the braid right from the crown and takes it to the bottom for a beautiful, artistic effect. The classic waves enhance the entire style and keep it simple yet unique – a combination hard to come by.

#6 Choose One Theme

Bridesmaids don’t need to have the same hairstyle. By which we mean, not the same exact hairdo, but instead one that complements each other. That can side braids, or a romantic updo, or waves, or as portrayed here, crown braids meeting waves. This is a quick hairdo as well and the hairstylist will be done fairly quickly (meaning paying less hourly rates). You can each choose the braid style depending on what flatters the face shape the most.

#7 Roses For The Whimsical Charm

A half-up, half-down hairdo that pushes the entire hair back from ear-to-ear neatly so as to create a sophisticated look is a great bridesmaid hairstyle idea for a formal event or a wedding theme where the dresses need to look neat. Further adding the whimsical charm are the fresh roses pinned flawlessly with the leaves on the backside and tresses done into smooth waves. This is also a quick hairdo, especially helpful if you’re paying by the hour.

#8 The Stunning Waves!

Waves can be created in a number of waves and each one has a unique charm that it adds to the tresses. The hairstylist here kept the upper portion of the hair straight and curled up the lower sections into big, bouncy curls. The hairstyle is a classic half-up, a half-down hairstylist with braids from both sides of the forehead attached firmly on the lower midsection of the crown. To further add the voluminous effect, the braid is tugged on each segment neatly so as to compliment the bouncy waves and make the entire hairstyle come together beautifully.

#9 Accessories Can Make All The Difference

Side-parted hair strands meet the back of the crown in the mid neatly while the top section is puffed out for a voluminous effect. The hair artist could have left it there, but she knew a small accessory can make a big difference and would make heads turn to this simple yet gorgeous hair look.

#10 The Right Accessory To The Rescue

This open bridesmaid hairstyle is beautiful in itself, but add the right accessory and it becomes spectacular, to say the least. However, if the accessories are going to be a part of your hair look, don’t wait till the last minute to say that to your hairstylist. The professional hair artists come prepped with what they’d need on the wedding day (given the tight schedule), they also have creative visions in the mind depending on what you tell them about how you want the hairstyle to look. Giving them the hint that an accessorized hairstyle is on your mind will make things smoother for both of you.

#11 Waves For Days

If you’re tight on the budget or just don’t want to unnecessarily spend on professional hair when the waves can very well into the bridesmaid look, take inspiration from the next bridesmaid on the list. For this hairstyle, all you need to invest is in a good curling iron and a quality hairspray. Take small sections of the hair, and curl the hair around the iron for a few seconds. Repeat on the lengths and add hair spray in the end. Add volume on the crown by backcombing the hair.

#12 Go Ahead, Rock That Volume! 

Voluminous curls are always a good idea but mind you, they won’t always go with every kind of wedding theme. These curls are off-limits for romantic, formal, and boho-themed affairs, and ideal for peppy, vintage, and garden/ casual themes. Depending on the entire mood palette of the wedding, you can make the decision whether this style will work well for bridesmaids. If you’re still confused take help from a wedding expert, like a wedding planner or HMUA.

#13 Braid Are Always In! 

It’s true! Braids are always (always) in. Braided hairstyles can be infused in any type of hairdo whether it’s a bun or a ponytail, doesn’t matter. They’re also a great way to protect your tresses from tangling and make hair management easier through any event. This is just the icing on the cake when it comes to the benefits of the braids. Another major perk is their unmatched charm. If you want to rock some sultry waves as a bridesmaid hairdo and add an oomph, use braids to achieve that factor.

#14 Just Some Volume & Glam

If there’s one thing the entire women fraternity equally desires it’s an increase in the volume of the hair. And rightfully so! Thick hair makes any hairstyle possible and looks good. Thankfully though, the hairstylist today knows how to add this coveted volume in the hair using extensions, backcombing, and slightly tugging on the braids. An example of the same is presented right below. The voluminous braid bridesmaid hairstyle meets its counterpart big curls to create a truly eye-catching hairstyle.

#15 Bombshell Curls In Waterfall Style

Curls mixed in with the soft waves is the best kind of bridesmaid hairstyle where you can experience the best of both worlds. While curls are a little glam, waves are casual, a combination of two – featured here – is the right amount of sophistication you need in a bridesmaid’s wedding look. Not to forget the attractive waterfall style is always a no-brainer ‘do for a perfect touch to any dress or look you’re carrying. Again, let all bridesmaids’ hair match in the waterfall braid style for a picturesque bridesmaids’ look.

#16 One Of The Simple Bridesmaid Hairstyles

For bridesmaid hairstyles, sometimes simplistic elegance is the way to go! Especially if the bride is going for the same style statement as well. You can all opt for the same hairstyle like this one, or some bridesmaids can choose other kinds of braids with straight hair, like a waterfall braid or a rope braid – the one that subtly complements a basic style. You can all add the baby’s breath to the hairdo and the bride can go for other types of white flowers like orchids, carnations, or roses.

#32 Neatly Tucked To The Back 

A number of braids come together to be twisted and tucked in neatly for a beautiful, neat hairstyle. While all bridesmaids can play with different braids in the half-up, half-down bridesmaid hairstyles, those with a bigger forehead should opt for a braid that adds volume to the top of the crown. Instead, they should opt for side braids with bangs so as to flatter their face shape while complementing the other bridesmaids.

#33 Oh-So-Gorgeous Bouncy, Vintage Waves 

A Hollywood wave is the best way to infuse retro, elegant waves into your bridesmaid ensemble. Possibly the ideal go-to wave if the bride is also sporting something on the vintage, classic lines, and the entire wedding event also has hints of this timeless style. Although, keep in mind that Hollywood waves work well only if the bridesmaids have an equal length along with their hair. If someone has layered hair, the look will be a bit messy and chic and not exactly elegant. So, see if all bridesmaids, and the bride, are comfortable with the idea.

This bride’s hair includes two braids from either side meeting the wrapped-around chignon delicately on the bottom. Neat hairstyles do take time to complete but the results are just breathtaking. We’d suggest you’d trust a professional to re-create this hairdo because such impeccability is only a work of a true professional in the wedding vendor industry. Start early before the ceremonial hours as well, because creating a neat bun on all bridesmaids is a time-consuming task.

FAQ’s 

How Should Bridesmaids Wear Their Hair?

Bridesmaids should wear their hair depending on the wedding theme, their bridesmaid dresses, and what the bride’s style will be on the big day. After sorting out these factors, the bridesmaids can choose what type of hairdo suits their personal style, face shape, and what they have envisioned their bridesmaid hair to be like. So, for example, you all decide that a classic updo – no messiness, only neat elegance – is the ideal choice for the bridesmaids. Once the base is set, you can choose if you want to add a braid, accessories, or tendrils to enhance the picked bridesmaid hair idea. Pick & sort hairstyles on Pinterest, save the board, and make a collective decision on what the final look will be like.

Should Bridesmaids Match Their Hairstyle?

Not necessarily. The bridesmaid hairstyles can match each other or not – it’s completely your choice. However, if you do decide to go for the individual hairdo, make sure they complement each other though. It would be weird for one bridesmaid to be in vintage waves and another one in a messy beachy waves half-up style. Pick a basic theme for the hairstyles and everyone should stick to this theme. If a vintage look is a theme, one bridesmaid can go for an open vintage waves hairstyle, others can opt for a side-swept retro look, etc.




Do Bridesmaids Pay For Their Own Hair & Makeup?

That is another decision that completely depends on the wedding party. If the bridesmaids have been very generous till now – by paying for their own dresses, arranging a heck of a bridal shower, helping the bride wherever necessary, paying for their own lodging costs, etc. – the bride can offer to pay for the hair and makeup as a thoughtful gesture. Another case where a bride should bear the cost is when she is quite specific about how bridesmaids’ hair should look on the wedding day. The bridesmaids can bear the cost if they think it’s best to not overbear the bride on the big day since she’s already paying for so much. Or, both parties can divide the cost. The bride can pay for makeup and bridesmaids can pay for hair. In any case, though, it’s best to decide these specifics outright and at the beginning of the wedding planning period.

Should Bridesmaid Hair Be Same As Bride?

No, a bridesmaid’s hair shouldn’t be the same as the bride’s, unless she’s okay with the idea and suggests the same herself. In some photos, you will find the bride sporting the same waves as the bridesmaids. But in most cases, the bridesmaid’s hair only complements the bride and that should be the case as well.
