Every year we say the same thing, “this year's wedding hairstyle trends are our absolute favorite!”, and this year is no exception! Fall 2024 is giving us a perfect mix of timeless elegance and modern flair, making it a truly exciting and stylish season for brides and their besties. Whether you're aiming for a classic hairstyle or something a bit more contemporary, you’re sure to find a trending style that's completely perfect for you. Let's dive right into the top hairstyle trends we’re absolutely loving this season!
French Twist
The French twist has made a triumphant return this year, and we couldn't be more thrilled! This classic updo is the epitome of sophistication, ideal for brides seeking a refined and polished look. The beauty of the French twist lies in its versatility, it can be styled sleek and smooth for a traditional vibe or teased and tousled for a more relaxed, romantic, and sexy feel! We love to see our brides pair this style with delicate hair accessories, like pearls or a simple comb, for that extra touch of elegance.
The Pam Anderson (AKA: A High Piled Twist)
Channeling the '90s icon Pamela Anderson, the high piled twist is all about effortless glamor! This style takes a modern twist on the messy bun, with hair piled high on the crown and secured in a tousled twist. It’s perfect for brides who want to add a bit of drama to their look while keeping it chic! This hairstyle works exceptionally well with strapless gowns or dresses with a high neckline, as it draws attention upward and actually elongates your neck!
Glam Waves
Glam waves are here to stay, and we couldn't be happier. This year, the waves are all about volume and shine. Think Old Hollywood but with a contemporary twist: smooth, deep waves that cascade down the shoulders, exuding luxury and incredible elegance! Glam waves are perfect for brides who want to wear their hair down but still make a statement. This style is fairly versatile and can be executed to compliment a number of different wedding gown or bridesmaids dress styles!
PS: if you’re dreaming of achieving this look but unsure if you have enough hair for this look, hair extensions might just be for you! Head over to this blog for all you need to know.
Ballerina Buns
For the minimalist bride who loves a clean, classic look, the ballerina bun is a go-to choice. This style is all about precision and simplicity, with hair pulled back into a sleek, high bun. It's a beautiful option for showcasing your facial features and (we think!) is especially stunning when paired with statement earrings or a bold lip!
Voluminous Blowouts for Brides
For brides wanting to embrace their natural texture while adding a bit of oomph, voluminous blowouts are the perfect option! This trend is all about creating big, bouncy hair that looks effortlessly glamorous. A voluminous blowout adds instant volume and movement, making it perfect for brides who want a style that will last all day and night. It's especially flattering with off-the-shoulder or sweetheart neckline gowns, as it adds a touch of softness and romance to the overall look!
Twisted Half-Up Hairstyles
The twisted half-up style is perfect for brides who want the best of both worlds: having their hair up and down at the same time! This trend involves softly twisting sections of hair from each side and pinning them back, leaving the rest of the hair to cascade down in loose curls or waves. It’s a truly beautiful and romantic look that adds just enough structure without being too formal. This style is especially lovely for outdoor or rustic weddings, where a touch of whimsy is always encouraged, if you ask us!
Low Buns for Brides
Low buns are forever a fabulous option for brides, bridal parties, and beyond, as they create a chic and understated elegance. This style sits at the nape of the neck, providing a sophisticated silhouette that's perfect for virtually any dress style! Low buns can be styled in various ways, from sleek and smooth to softly textured, making them an incredibly versatile hairstyle choice! If you’re concerned about wearing your hair fully back, we always recommend adding a few face-framing tendrils or a delicate hair accessory, as these additions truly complete this look!
Midi Buns for Weddings
Midi buns are the perfect middle ground between a high bun and a low chignon! (Think, Pamela Anderson meets a Ballerina Bun!) Positioned just below the crown, this style is all about balance and proportion. Midi buns offer a slightly more relaxed feel than their higher counterparts, making them a great option for brides looking for an elegant yet effortless style. They can be styled sleek or with a bit of texture, and they (of course) pair beautifully with veils, hairpins, or floral accents!
