Pretty Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for a Beach Wedding
1. Side Fishtail Braid
Braids make for charming bridal hairstyles, but take yours up a notch by ditching the regular three-strand one. Instead, go for a fishtail braid. It looks intricate, but trust us, it’s easy. Just put your hair on one side and divide it into two sections. Then, take a small section from the edge of one side and cross it over to the center. Do the same on the other side. Keep doing this until you reach the tips of your hair and secure your braid with an elastic.
Editor’s tip: Get smooth and easy-to-style hair by using TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Shampoo. It has KERA10 Protein Complex which can penetrate your hair up to 10 layers deep for nourishment. It also gives your hair 10 salon benefits in one wash! These include making your hair soft, smooth, and shiny, calming frizz, offering heat protection, and providing long-lasting fragrance.
To get the best results, use TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Serum Conditioner after shampooing.
2. Loose Fishtail Braid
Want something more laid-back? This messy fishtail braid fits the bill. It’s great for beach weddings or even rustic-themed ones, where looking dainty and relaxed is the norm.
3. Flower Headband
A flower crown adds a dreamy touch to your wedding look. Put it on slightly tousled hair for an effortlessly chic hairstyle for your big day.
4. Lazy Bun
This dreamy look will definitely make your groom fall in love with you all over again! Lazy just never looked this good. To add a bit of sparkle to your bridal hair, wear a pretty hair clip along with this lazy bun. You can wear this look from the ceremony up to the reception—even until the after-party if you wish!
Editor’s tip: Brushing and blow-drying can make your hair brittle and prone to hair fall. To make sure your hair withstands the toll it takes from styling, we recommend using Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue Ultimate Hair Fall Defiance Ultra Conditioner. It has revolutionary fiber actives that penetrate up to a cellular level to make hair stronger and prevent breakage.
5. Half-Up Boho Braid
Combine beach waves and bridal braids and you get the half-up boho braid! This hairstyle has it all—it’s chic, laidback, and romantic. It’s perfect for the day you tie the knot with your sweetheart.
6. Ponytail With Headband Braid
Got thick hair? Then you have what you need for a full-looking headband braid. Just tie the rest of your hair into a low ponytail, and you’re ready to walk down the aisle. It’s a great hairstyle for long curly hair, too!
7. Messy Bun With Headband Braid
A loose, messy bun along with a headband braid makes for a relaxed wedding updo. The bun doesn’t even have to be perfectly shaped; loose strands are part of its charm.
8. One-Sided Headband Braid
If you’re putting your hair down for post-ceremony cocktails and reception, add a small braid to jazz up your down ‘do. Just part your hair on one side, then create a French braid on the side with more hair. Let the braid sit near your hairline so it looks like a headband. When the braid reaches your ear, tie the ends of the braid with an elastic.
9. Summer Festival Braid
This boho-chic ‘do is also a pretty wedding hairstyle for short hair. To style your bob or lob this way, create shallow waves by wrapping small sections of hair quickly around a curling wand. The waves will add texture to your hair. When you’re done curling all sections of your hair, finger-comb your waves to make them loose. Then, take a small section of hair and braid it loosely.
10. Half Updo With Flowers
Jazz up your wedding half-updo by putting small white flowers on your hair. You can go for a simple half ponytail or a half-up braid. But if you want to elevate your bridal look, create a flipped half-updo by getting a section of hair from both sides of your temples, tying these sections at the back of your hair, and inserting your ponytail in the tiny space above your elastic or hair tie.
Now you’re ready to say “I do”—to your groom, to the beach, and to these gorgeous bridal hairstyles!
