1.  Classy lower bun

This cute hairstyle is one of the most famous for a wedding or any other classy occasion. It is for a reason; it makes you look like you came out of a fairy tale. All you need to make it yourself are hair ties, bobby pins, hair clips, hair rollers and some rhinestone accessories. The first step in making this stunning look is to split the hair in half and clip each side. Then make a tight ponytail and hide it in the hair. Bobby pins are the best tool for this part. Place the roller on the hair, and after you did it all like in the picture you can add some stunning bridal jewelry and voila, your perfect hairstyle is done under 10 minutes.

2. Beautiful curly up-do

An up-do is always one of the reliable choices when it comes to wedding hairstyles. Your hair will stay in place as you dance the night away. Plus it always comes out looking like you just came out of salon. This attractive hairstyle is not hard to make. First, you need to split the hair into sections. Tease the front part of the hair to make a full volume. Then you need to fix it with a clear elastic band. The next step is to twist the rest hair into up-do like in the picture. The bobby pins are useful for fixing the hair ends. Finally, you can add some adorable floral hair accessories around the base of the uplifted section.

3. Easy and dreamy lower bun

This is one of the easiest but gorgeous hairstyles you can have for your big day. Even if you really didn’t spend much time styling it, your wedding guests will all think that you spent hours on it.  This hairstyle is good for shorter hair as well. The first step in making this glam bun is to split your hair into two sections. After that, you need to tie it up into a simple knot. Then, twist the two parts of hair in opposite directions around the knot to make it look like a bun. Next, use the bobby pins to secure all the ends. You can add some cute headbands to make the style more glamorous.

4. Romantic French braid style

Some bold red lipstick, this romantic headband hairstyle and you are ready to go. For the headband, the simpler the better because it will end up being hidden. The first step in making this hairstyle is to put the headband on your head and braid a loose French braid around the band down towards the ear to cover it. Then you roll the rest of your hair splitting it into small sections and tuck it into the band until you come to the ends. You can use a hairspray to fix it so it wouldn’t move around. You can add small flower hairpins to match it to your wedding dress.

5. Classy half-up elegance

To make this hairstyle, all you need are bobby pins and a brush. First, curl your hair to have some loose and natural waves. Tease the front of your hair to create some volume and texture. Take a section from the right part of your hair, twist  it and pin it to the opposite back of your head. Do the same thing with the left part of your hair. Continue to alternate sides, and when your front hair is pinned back the job is done. Pull some loose pieces out to make it natural and romantic. This hairstyle can be completed with some dainty earrings or hair jewelry to add to the “wow” effect.

6. Twist French braid with flower details

Romantic brides will adore elegant hairstyles like this. The first step for making this is to make loose curls all over your head. Next, create a section in the upper back, then twist it and use the bobby pin to bind it. Twist like that will be the center. Take the locks of hair from both sides, cross them over the center and gently twist and pin them. Then you need to repeat step three and tuck the hair you gathered from the both sides and round the loop you made. Do this several more times, until you have used all the hair you have. Braid the rest of your hair, and pin it with bobby pins. You can finish the look with a cute DIY flower comb.

7.  Simple top knot

The top knot is very attractive and classy. It is an excellent way to make a modest wedding dress pop. The first step for this hairstyle is to make a high ponytail. Then you need to tease the tail until it becomes twice thicker than it was. Use the brush or the comb to do that and then pull the tail backward and pin it like in the picture number six. Use the hair spray to hold everything in place. The next step is to make a full circle with locks of hair around the bun, and you’ll need several bobby pins to make sure hair will stay in one place. Loose some hair in front and the back for a natural look and your dream hairstyle is done! You can also gaga with your earrings  because of the simplicity of this hairstyle.

8. Retro romance

We have seen this in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and we all fell in love with it immediately. This particular style is suitable for brides wearing backless wedding dresses. The most important thing is to make sure that the hair already has a lot of texture before you start. That is why it is great for second day hair. All you need is to put your hair back like you are about to make a mid-tail. Roll the hair around starting from the end like in the picture number four and pin it. Make sure you use enough hairspray so it would stay in one place during the ceremony. You can pull out a bit of hair to frame the face. Jewelry or some shiny combs are big yes for this look.

9. Braided romance for short hair brides

Planning your wedding look when you are short-haired can be a nightmare. Have no fear, there are elegant hairstyles for short-haired brides. This braided updo is perfect for short and thin hair. It’s so quick and easy that you will be astonished. The first thing you need to do is to brush your hair backward and split it into three equal parts. Then you braid them in simple braids.

Loosen the braids a bit, so your hair would look thicker. The next step is to pin the braids one to another using bobby pins to look like one big braid. Loosen them more and finish the style with some hairspray. Your short hair will look elegant and classy in just a few minutes.

10. Fishtail braid that takes your breath away

Bohemian styles will never go out of fashion. The best thing about this hairstyle is that is so easy to create. Imagine, you don’t even need to know how to make a braid. The first thing to do is to take a piece of the hair from the front, twist it to the back, and secure it together with small rubber band and then flip the hair inwards around itself one time. Then you take a piece of hair from the sides and repeat the flipping as many times you want. Pull some little piece of the hair to add volume and hide the rubber band.

Finish this look by putting some satin string at the end of your braid. You can also use any hair jewelry that matches your dress to make it look much more elegant. You can also opt to curl the ends for the real bohemian style.
