Pin up bridal hairstyles are an excellent choice for weddings that take place during warmer times of the year.

Bridal hairstyles with a bun can be done in different styles. We have the traditional chignon, more lined and the twisted chignon.

In the twisted bun, the hair strands are twisted in different directions and the bangs are a little looser. The idea is to make a messy bun, without losing elegance. It is very similar to the low bun and is very successful among brides looking for something more modern and less traditional, that's why we are going to show you how to do this hairstyle at the end of this post.

If you are going to use a tiara or a veil, you should think well which model of chignon is better. The combination of factors must be completely harmonious and the chignon cannot interfere with the placement of the veil and vice versa. The advice is to try the hairstyle before, as maybe the combination of elements will not work as well as you might think.

Ponytail

The ponytail is one of the hairstyles for brides who want to wear their hair up, but also want to shy away from the standard bun. It is a way to wear your hair up in a more relaxed and fun way.

There are many ways to wear a ponytail: higher, lower, curly, straight, loose, with a tiara, with a veil, among many other possibilities. The advice is to do a lot of research until you find the hairstyle that has everything to do with you.

Semi-sheer

Half-up bridal hairstyles are an excellent choice for daytime weddings, especially outdoors. Hair styled this way makes the whole look more romantic and goes well with a flower tiara.

This is the type of bridal hairstyle that goes best with accessories: pack, crown, tiara, veil, among others. Also, the attached part can be a relaxed bun or a ponytail.

loose long hair

Loose bridal hairstyles are a very risky option, although they look great! It is a type of hairstyle rarely chosen by brides because of the difficulty of keeping it beautiful throughout the ceremony and party. During the party, the hairstyle ends up falling apart and the bride looks "all day". The main tip to prevent this from happening is to find a good professional and use quality styling products.

Loose hair suits evening events and winter weddings. It's a good option for indoor venues, after all, outdoors, if it's windy, the wires can end up in your face.

Simple

Choosing simple bridal hairstyles doesn't mean giving up on beauty. In fact, simple hairstyles are beautiful and bring a romantic air to the look. They are good choices for weddings celebrated only in civil or religious, but without a party in the sequence.

These are bridal hairstyles that can even be improvised at home. In the simple version, it is only necessary to have a good brush, a fixative, a flat iron or a curling iron to achieve the desired effect.

Veiled

Many brides insist on getting married with a veil, after all, this is one of the accessories that represent marriage. To wear a veil, it is necessary that the hairstyle is harmonious and well fastened so as not to lose the accessory in the middle of the party. Take a look at some amazing models to get inspired and do something similar in your hair:

The veil goes well with updo, half updo, loose, ponytail... in short! Any hairstyle can be adapted to wear the veil.

with a tiara

Tiaras are usually bright or flowery and bring an air of royalty. What bride does not want to feel like a princess on her big day?

As in the case of the veil, the tiara can be used in any type of hairstyle, you just need to adapt it to keep it well and harmonious.

with applique

The applique can be used in the most different bridal hairstyles. If for some reason your hair is not as long as you would like it to be, this is the best option! It is also a good alternative for those who want to make a hairstyle that requires their hair to be a little fuller and voluminous.

WARNING: You need to find a good professional to attach the extension without damaging the wires. Only a good professional can guarantee a natural look with hair extensions.

Short hair

For those with short hair, there are not many options for bridal hairstyles. Generally, the hair is worn loose with waves at the ends and an accessory to enhance the look.

medium hair

For medium hair there are more options than for short hair. This length combines with accessories, a bun, half updo and ponytail. Wearing it loose is also a nice option.

How to Make a Bridal Hairstyle: Step by Step

Now that you know what bridal hairstyles are trending, it's time to think about how to make your own. First of all, we have some tips on how to look amazing on the big day and delight your guests, and of course, the groom!

• Do a lot of research before deciding what hairstyle to do. When you get tired of looking, look some more. It is a unique and very remarkable day, everything must be perfect! Choose the 3 models that attract the most attention and try to think of accessories, tiaras and veils that can match them.
• Don't be afraid to dare! Make your wedding memorable, so don't be afraid to choose bridal hairstyles that are too flashy. Choose the one that has the most to do with your personality and your style.
• Find a hairdresser you trust. Don't stop looking for the hairdresser at the last minute, book in advance and do a trial beforehand to see if it's how you really imagine it. Preferably for professionals who are recommended by other brides.
• Don't choose the cheapest budget, as often the cheapest can cost you the happiness of your big day.
• Listen to the opinions of others, but choose the hairstyle you want! Everyone always has something to say about someone else's wedding, but it's your day and there's nothing sadder than feeling unsatisfied because you didn't choose the hairstyle you'd like.
• Look for inspirations that have hair similar to yours. It's unlikely that hairstyles for brides with curly hair will look beautiful and voluminous on a bride with straight hair.

You can already tell by now that our opinion is that you should look for a good professional and not do it at home, right? But if you have the skills to fix your own hair and want to venture out, the advice is to do a trial hairstyle at least a month before the wedding, so if it doesn't turn out as you'd like, it's still possible to find a hairstylist to do it.

One of the easiest bridal hairstyles to do, whether for a simple wedding or a more pompous one, is the chignon, especially the pompadour chignon.

These bridal hairstyles suit more modern and relaxed women, especially for beach or country weddings. It is also an option for gala weddings with a lot of tradition, it all depends on the bride's personality.

In this chignon, the strands are loose in the front as if the hair is messy, hence the name podrinho. The bun itself is a little looser than usual to give it a sense of movement. The twisted bun is similar to this, the strands are twisted in different directions and placed loosely in the bun. It is a mix of a traditional hairstyle with modernity.
