Tick stunning bridal hair off your big day to-do list and find the look of your dreams in our collection of wedding hairstyles.
Walk down the aisle feeling and looking flawless with these gorgeous wedding hairstyles. Match them to your gown for the ultimate way to complete your bridal look.
Flowing locks make for effortlessly romantic wedding hair and are right on trend. Slick and straight or tumbling in retro fashion, brides who leave their hair loose are making waves this wedding season.
But pay attention to bridal runways and you’ll notice that wearing your hair down isn’t the only way to hit a fashion high note. Updos are also among the hottest wedding hair looks - but these aren’t the traditional styles of years gone by. Instead, it’s all about tousled topknots, textured ponytails and wispy chignons.
Find your dream bridal hair look with these gorgeous wedding hairstyles.

For many brides, poker straight locks are a popular choice. It’s an easy to wear style that lasts all day and can be quickly dressed up with a headband to add an extra dimension.

volume blow-dry
Best for: Strapless dress
Big, glamorous and glossy - fashion is favouring the classic, bouncy blow-dry. This full volume wedding hairstyle is definitely striking and guaranteed to capture the attention of your partner as you walk down the aisle. The key to creating statement volume is to use the ghd® air professional hairdryer, directing the airflow from roots to the ends.
Tip: Use ghd root lift spray before you begin to create gorgeous volume and a bold finish that lasts all day.

romantic chignon
Best for: Sheer-panelled dress
For some wedding updo inspiration, chignons epitomise romance. With loose strands framing your face and an undone texture at the back, this is a tousled, curly update to the traditional style. Pretty chignons are super versatile and perfect for any wedding theme, whether you’re going for a bohemian or black-tie affair on your big day.

micro braids
Best for: Off-the-shoulder dress
Tiny plaits have made the leap from festivals into wedding hairstyles - creating a look perfect for the boho bride. Weave them into a half updo or use them to embellish a loose, textured down do. If you’ve chosen a Bardot-style wedding dress, this bridal hairstyle is perfect for balancing out your look.
Tip: For a natural vibe, simply press the ghd platinum® styler on the ends of the micro braids to keep them in place, rather than using hair ties. Finish with hairspray to help lock in the style.
