This blog is about hairstyles for bridesmaids.
There are a few things to think about when choosing hairstyles for yourself (if you’re a bridesmaid) or for your bridesmaids (if you’re the bride).
One of those things is the length of the bridesmaid’s hair.
If it’s short then an up-do might be tricky and if it’s long, it might cover the dress.
Another thing to think about is the season and whether it will be hot or cold.
You might also want to consider if you would like to cover the dress partly with hair or have the dresses on full display and have the hair up.
Whatever style you choose, make sure to run it past your bridesmaids first – you also want them to feel comfortable with their hairstyle.
There are so many that you can choose from a messy bun, long flowy curls, a braided bun, and the list goes on and on.
Here are 28 hairstyle ideas for bridesmaids
1. A stylish chignon
This simple bun is perfect for bridesmaids with long to medium-length hair.
It is simple and easy to do so you don’t have to worry about time with this one.
I like how it will show off this bridesmaid’s beautiful dress and jewelry.
This hairstyle is chic and will look amazing in photos.
2. Bring out the curls
This bridesmaid hairstyle is gorgeous.
From the stunning curls to the braid keeping hair out of her face.
This hairstyle will work well for long to medium-length hair.
This hairstyle also shows off the bridesmaid’s dress.
3. Messy bun
You can’t go wrong with a messy bun.
They are easy to do and look gorgeous in photos.
If your bridesmaids have short hair, this may be a challenge.
I love how this hairstyle looks like it didn’t take too much effort but still looks really good.
4. Curls on curls
This bridesmaid’s thick hair is gorgeous.
I love the volume and the curls!
To elevate this hairstyle even more, you could add a hairpiece or a few floral clips.
The twist at the top helps to keep some of the bridesmaid’s hair out of her face.
This hairstyle would also work with short hair.
5. Add a hairpin
A great way of elevating a bun is by adding a floral hairpin.
Make sure the hairpin complements the bridesmaid’s dress as well.
You can opt for different kinds of hairpins, like those with pearls or diamonds.
6. Low ponytail
Here’s another bridesmaid hairstyle idea for medium to long hair.
This gives off a summer, beachy vibe.
I like how they have added strands of hair around where the ponytail is tied to make it look like the ponytail is held up by the hair and not a hair tie.
I also like that they left strands of hair on the sides of her face and how they have curled these.
This is an easy and stunning hairstyle for any bridesmaid – just keep their hair length in mind.
7. Half-up, half-down
Here’s another way you could style your bridesmaid’s hair.
This half-up, half-down look is perfect for summer or winter weddings.
It still shows off the beautiful dress and because half of the bridesmaid’s hair is up it shows off their jewelry too.
8. Another messy bun
Here’s another messy bun look.
I like how these hairstyles give the illusion that it didn’t take a lot of effort when it actually did.
This hairstyle is for a wedding that is a bit more laid-back.
9. Low ponytail with volume
How stunning is this ponytail?
I like how much volume the hairstylist has added to this low pony.
It really elevates the look and makes it more interesting.
Again, I like how they have taken strands of hair to hide the hair tie.
10. Braided low-bun
This bridesmaid hairstyle is stunning.
I like how the braid goes right down into the bun and how they have left strands of hair on the sides of her face for some extra flair.
The highlights of this bridesmaid’s hair goes so well with this hairstyle.
11. Loose braids
First of all, let’s take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous hair.
Talk about fiery red!
I love how they have braided her hair at the top creating an almost crown-like effect and how this braid goes down into the lower braid.
The side braid will look gorgeous in photos and add so much more drama than a normal braid.
12. Another low ponytail
Here’s another classy low ponytail.
You just can’t go wrong with this hairstyle as it matches any wedding theme and great for any season.
I love how they have curled the ponytail and the side pieces to add a bit more style.
13. Add a floral piece
How gorgeous is this floral piece that they have added to this hairstyle?
I love how they have chosen to do a loose braid to keep some of her hair away from her face.
This braid is so delicate and well done.
14. Braided bun and pearls
This is another way of doing a low bun.
By partially braiding the top part of hair and then making a bun you add so much volume into the hairstyle.
I love how they haven’t just gone with just the usual chignon.
The added pearls also take this hairstyle to a whole new level.
15. Bubble pony
How interesting is this hairstyle?
I like how they have hidden all of the hair ties by covering them with strands of hair.
If your bridesmaids request hairstyles that keep their hair off their faces, then this is a good take on the usual ponytail.
16. Classic chignon
If you just want a simple but still elegant hairstyle, this is it.
With classic chignons, you can’t go wrong with it.
It will stay in place all day long and this style usually shows off beautiful statement necklaces and earrings.
17. A simple twist
Here’s a rather simple way of keeping your bridesmaid’s hair out of their faces – a simple twist.
You can opt for this half-up, half-down style to show off those gorgeous curls.
You can also add accessories to this hairstyle, like the tiara in this photo.
And it’s perfect for any hair length as well.
18. Add a headband
If you’re looking for a way to add something extra to your bridesmaid’s hairstyle – this may be a good idea.
Adding a headband is an easy way to spruce up any hairstyle.
Aside from pearls, you can have a headband of roses, lace, or rhinestones – it all depends on the motif.
You can wear this with an updo or with loose hair.
19. Simple half-up, half-down
What I love most about this hairstyle is its versatility.
It could work well with any type of dress and wedding motif.
Tying half of the bridesmaid’s hair up helps their hair stay out of their faces.
To elevate this, you could add a headband or some elaborate hairpins.
20. Braided hairstyle with hairpins
I am so in love with this gorgeous bridesmaids’ hairstyle!
Adding these tiny pearl hairpins into this hairstyle makes the style more dainty and elegant.
You can also choose to leave out the hair accessory at the top if you want to keep it simple.
Personally, I’d leave it on as it adds more verve!
21. Twisted strands and hairpins
This lovely hair accessory gives more drama to the bridesmaid’s hairstyle.
The twisted strands are thick and help keep most of the bridesmaid’s hair out of her face.
I also like how they have curled her loose hair to give this hairstyle a bit more texture.
22. Mid to short-length hairstyle
Here is an idea for your bridesmaids who have mid to short-length hair.
A simple hair clip to hold a few strands and curling the rest is an easy way to do their hair.
This is a simple yet stunning hairstyle.
23. Leave it loose
If you want to leave your bridesmaid’s hair loose, then just curl it.
This is the easiest way to do a hairstyle on the day and it still looks good.
I like how simple this looks!
This will also look amazing in photos.
24. Braided top-bun
Here’s an interesting bridesmaid’s hairstyle you could use summer weddings.
This hairstyle will keep your bridesmaids cool.
As with any updo, it will add more elegance.
This is also one way of showing off their jewelry and dresses.
25. Twisted ponytail
Twisting the top hair and then putting it into a low ponytail is another stunning way of doing your bridesmaid’s hair.
Again, covering the hair tie with hair is a brilliant idea.
Curling the ends also adds elegance, and I’m here for it.
26. Add a flower crown
You can’t go wrong with the classics like adding a floral hair crown.
Floral hair crowns can be made with just one type of flower or you can have different ones in just one color.
Either way, it looks gorgeous.
27. Leave it loose and clip it back
This hairstyle is giving jazz club in the 50s vibes with the loose curls and side clip.
This is a beautiful way of letting the hair loose while keeping the hair off the face as well.
Your bridesmaids’ hairstyles can be different from each other, but it’s good to have a general motif as well.
They can be a variation of the bride’s hairstyle too!
28. A hairstyle for short hair
Last but certainly not the least is this hairstyle for the short hair beauties.
Leave it loose, curl it, and tie a few strands back.
The hair accessory is an extra, but certainly adds a stunning detail you can’t do without.
And that concludes our list of beautiful hairstyles for your lovely bridesmaids.
I hope that one of them has spoken to you and you now know what you want your bridesmaids’ hair to look like on your big day.
Until next time, happy wedding planning.
