Chignons epitomize romance and will continue to play a part in weddings this year but with a tousled curly update.

Micro braids

Best for: Off-the-shoulder dress

Tiny plaits have been making their way into hairstyles everywhere in the last 12 months, making a leap from festivals to weddings. 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 at the end of your micro braids to keep them in place, rather than using hair ties.
