Yay, your besties are tying the knot! While brides are usually our focus here at Updos For I Dos, we wanted to give their wedding guests some love too! Choosing the perfect hairstyle can be just as exciting for a guest, adding a special touch to your look for this big and beautiful day. Whether you’re going for elegant, trendy, or effortlessly chic, we’ve rounded up some stunning wedding guest hairstyles that will have you looking and feeling oh-so fabulous!
Ponytails
Ponytails may seem simple, but they can be styled in a variety of ways to match the formality of any event! A high, sleek ponytail offers a polished look, while a low ponytail with soft waves feels more relaxed and whimsical. Pro tip, adding volume at your crown or wrapping a section of hair around your hair tie elevates this classic style for any wedding day!
If you’re unsure of how to hide a hair tie or properly tease your hair, YouTube and Instagram are full of helpful hairstyling tutorials for our DIYers! If you’re looking to have your hair professionally styled, reach out to us! We may just be able to fit you in with our stylists.
Beachy Waves
Beachy waves are a fabulous option for all different kinds of wedding aesthetics! This textured, tousled look strikes a perfect balance between casual and elegant! You can add braids or hair accessories, like pearl pins or a headband, to elevate your wedding beach waves.
Low Buns: Messy or Sleek
Low buns are an excellent choice for wedding guests looking for an elegant updo that doesn’t feel too fussy. A sleek, polished bun works beautifully for more formal weddings, adding a sophisticated touch. Alternatively, a more relaxed, messy low bun brings a carefree, yet stylish element to your outfit! Both options are highly versatile and allow you to dance the night away without worrying about your hair.
Pro tip coming your way! Pairing a statement earring with your low bun is a stunning way to really elevate your look. Statement earrings can pair beautifully with really any wedding day vibe, whether it be laid back and boho, or sleek and chic!
Straight and Smooth
For a modern and sleek look, a straight and smooth hairstyle can be an effortlessly stylish showstopper! This style is truly timeless and pairs flawlessly with almost any wedding guest outfit! Another pro tip, finish off your look with a shine serum or spray to give your straight locks a healthy glow. This hairstyle is a great option for those looking for a clean, minimalist aesthetic!
Bouncy Blowouts
Nothing says volume and glamor like a bouncy blowout! This hairstyle brings a touch of old Hollywood to your look and works especially well for semi-formal to formal weddings. A blowout gives your hair movement and fullness, creating a dynamic, photo-ready finish!
If you’re not-so-handy with a blowdryer, try searching for blow dry bars near you! This is a fun treat to give yourself before a wedding day, and is even more fun if you have a bestie to join you!
Claw Clip Hairstyles
Claw clips have made a huge comeback, and they’re a stylish yet effortless option for wedding guest hairstyles! Whether you go for a half-up, half-down look or a full updo with some loose tendrils framing your face, a claw clip can give your hairstyle a trendy, laid-back appeal. They come in various styles, from sleek metallic finishes to decorative designs, allowing you to tailor your look to accompany almost any wedding guest outfit aesthetic!
