1. Low Bun. Are you looking for a simple and easy hairstyle? Try this delicate bohemian upstyle that will add extra romantic and feminine vibes to your wedding look.

2. Bob-Length Updo. Oh yes, you can definitely make your hair appear longer than it actually is! An updo like this also adds extra dimension and volume to the hair.

3. Messy French Roll. Your hairstyle doesn’t necessarily need to be tightly tied or strongly sprayed. Don’t follow other people’s expectations – if you want to keep your hair natural, please do.

4. Braid and Bun Updo. If you are looking for a shoulder-length option, try this bohemian hairstyle which is perfect for more casual events too!

5. Twisted Half Up. If you think of bohemian hairstyles for your locks, this bunch of random twists of varying thickness won’t require Rapunzel-length locks yet will give you plenty of volume, texture, and movement along with free-spirited vibes.

6. Curly Bun. This hairstyle may not be one of the most common bridal hairstyles, but it looks so lovely and cute, doesn’t it? Besides, it’s perfect for any ceremony, be it the seaside or any fashionable place.

7. Bun with Wavy Top. Many bridal hairstyles for shorter lengths are based on chignons, but not all of them can derive that much movement and texture from the cropped strands. Follow this tutorial and make your low bun really stunning.

8. Low Swirl Bun. If the classic low bun is too simple for you, you can add a modern twist to it. This one can also serve as a great bridesmaid hairstyle.

9. Side Braid. Wedding hairstyles are supposed to be very feminine and delicate, and what’s more feminine than braids on wavy hair?

10. Rolled Updo with Hairpins. Low updos are so trendy! It’s a matter of brushing the hair back, twisting, and securing it in place. This style adds a romantic vibe to the whole look.

11. Looped Upstyle. Can you believe that such a massive weave was made of above-the-shoulder strands? We are totally in love with the soft feel and timeless elegance of this loopy updo.

12. Wavy French Roll. Having cropped locks, you will most likely need a professional hairstylist, especially when it comes to your big day. Ask them to create beautiful romantic waves and style an updo to reveal your long neck and gemstone earrings.

13. Dutch Braiding. Do you think shorter hairstyles cannot accommodate dramatic braiding? This cute shoulder-skimming bob with loose waves proves the contrary and catches the eye with a stunning side braid complemented with pearly accents.

14. Twisted Chignon. You don’t need an extravagant hairstyle decorated with jewels and embellishments if you’re going to wear a stunning sparkling dress at your wedding.

15. Half Updo. This is an easy hairstyle to cope with even for a beginner. Curl your hair and create a thick twist braid. Decorate it with a sparkly hair accessory.

16. Bob with Barrettes. Refresh your bob-short hair by adding waves and putting in some fancy barrettes. Inserting crystal bobby pins is a great way to change your hairstyle in a few seconds, in case you have one more dress prepared for the night.

17. High Curly Bun. These days, young ladies are willing to look and feel natural and effortlessly beautiful without trying to go the extra mile even for their wedding. Go, girls!

18. Low Bun with a Hairpiece. To recreate this romantic updo, you will need to slightly curl your bob-length tresses and then carefully wrap the soft waves toward the center of the nape where your nicely textured bun will comfortably sit.

19. Chignon with a Floral Vine. Shorter wedding styles can thrive on carefully selected hair pieces, as is shown here: the tiny bun, twisted strands on the crown, and romantic tendrils don’t require long hair, but the headpiece makes all the difference.

20. Messy Multi-Tone Bouffant. Modern brides should bite into tousled hairstyles since they look cool, sexy, and voguish while creating tons of volume and texture even on crops. A balayage will only elevate the style by adding depth and a play of shades.

21. Twisted Bob Half-Up. Although you can try and recreate this lovely style on your lob of any color, it is the high-contrast balayage that takes it to the next level.

22. Braided Bob. This style is a perfect choice for a rustic wedding, and you can use any type of braiding you like. Flyaways are not a problem, as they only add bohemian vibes.

23. Tousled Chignon. We all should be thankful for bridal messy updos since they allow us to avoid worrying about an undone look, such as created by this wavy upstyle with lots of tendrils.

24. Nape Bun. This hairdo may seem too messy, yet it is still feminine and vibrant, full of movement, texture, and volume. And yes, doable on bob-length strands.

25. Waves with an Accessory. Here is a modern and more careless take on voluminous Hollywood waves — pack them into a bob with a seriously deep side part, rough them up to steer clear from an overly polished look, and pin one side with a massive accessory standing out against the brunette locks.

26. Low Loop with Waves. Why don’t you shift the focus from length to volume? It doesn’t matter whether your chignon is lush or scarce when you have such gorgeous dreamy waves on the top.

27. Wavy Low Bun. This style offers a smoother look, which is, however, a far cry from sleek hair. The locks are not tousled but a bit teased, curled, and looped to land a fun bun.

28. Half Up Bouffant. If you are after tidier styles, this coif is a happy middle ground, as it complements the classic polished bouffant with a fun swirly detail and bouncy ringlets.

29. Big French Roll. The bold style will be the best fit for wavy and curly locks which have plenty of natural texture and volume. You just need to tease it in the front and roll the hair in the back.

30. Bun with Swirls. This romantic updo features a slightly lifted crown with intertwined tresses running into neat swirls. Surely, the exquisite beaded headpiece does a great job of accentuating the look.

31. Half-Up Wavy Lob. It may seem like every bride is expected to show up with a bun, huh? That’s not true. If you’ve grown your hair a bit longer, embrace it with this shoulder-length half-up style!

32. Lob Half-Updo. Any lob can pull off some playful curls at the bottom, a bit of backcombing at the top, and a couple of interlaced side tresses in between.

33. Loose Ends Bun. Boho-chic is on-trend which makes us have an eye on carefree hairstyles, especially those that combine a softly textured top with a crisp bottom so handsomely.

34. Teased Hairdo with Hairpins. This updo is a great compromise between a natural look and a sophisticated updo. The bride can add crystal bobby pins for additional sparkle.

35. Chignon with Tendrils. If you are looking for eye-catching yet relaxed hair ideas, this sweet blonde chignon has the right unpolished feel and tons of appeal.

36. Messy Wavy Nape Bun. This style with a messy roll at the nape is filled with horizontal and vertical plaiting, which gives enough space to add a dreamy touch by tucking a couple of tiny blooms into the blonde strands.

37. Rolled Updo. This veil-ready style prompts us to keep it simple and create a natural-looking canvas for a stylish accessory.

38. Twisted Braid with Waves. Even if your hair isn’t naturally wavy, you will need just some professional curling to define the waves and then make them shine with a glistening hairspray and a fancy accessory.

39. Pompadour with Looped Bun. A more formal take on bridal hairstyles shouldn’t deprive you of the freedom to play with color and texture, both of which are found in this classy updo in excess.

40. Wavy Twisted Half-Up. A color scheme can be a key to an outstanding style, and the streaky highlights in this fascinating half-up work like a charm, thanks to the masterfully placed accents.
