If you have long hair, you know that it can be difficult to style for special occasions. You want your wedding day look to be as beautiful as it is practical. Whether you’re having an outdoor ceremony or a formal indoor affair, these down hairstyles will help you create the perfect look for your big day.
Indulge yourself in these gorgeous wedding hairstyles for long hair.
Here’s a list of our favorite wedding hairstyles for long hair:
- The Knot. A traditional look for brides, the knot is both romantic and elegant. This updo is perfect if you have a veil to match!
- The Fishtail Braid Bun. You can do this style with any kind of braid, but the fishtail braid bun will give your wedding day that extra something special in terms of appearance and uniqueness. Make sure you get some help from someone who knows what they are doing if this is your first time styling this type of braid or updo!
- Mermaid Braids With Crowns or Bow Hair Clips (or Bows). This style will make all eyes on you at your big day because it really makes use of all those gorgeous curls! Plus, it looks great no matter how many times throughout the day that it will be pulled back into an updo (which usually happens quite often during weddings).
Half up-do with braided crown
The half up-do with braided crown is an easy updo for long hair, especially if you’re looking for a low-maintenance option. First, use a curling iron to curl the ends of your hair (the thicker the better). Next, take a few bobby pins and secure your curls in place. Next, make sure there is no stray hairs sticking out: use a comb or brush to remove any rogue strands from your face.
Now that everything looks good on top of your head, it’s time to start making the braid! Start by taking two sections of hair near where you want your braid to begin; one should go on each side of the parting line (or where ever you want it). Now grab these two pieces together and start twisting them around each other until they form one thick strand that spans from earlobe almost all the way down through backside – this will be called “strand A” moving forward.

Vintage Waves
Curly half up-do with twist detail
To create this look, start by getting your hair into a loose ponytail at the nape of your neck. Then, begin twisting some of the hair around itself to form a half-up style. Twist each section in a clockwise direction as you go along until you reach the top of your head and have a few twists left over. Secure these with bobby pins and voila! You have yourself an elegant up-do that is perfect for any occasion—especially if you’re going to be exchanging vows soon!

Messy waves and braids
The first way to create messy waves is to section your hair into three parts. Then, take the middle section and pull it back with a rubber band so that it hangs over your shoulder. Next, use a flat iron or curling iron on the other two sections of hair in order to curl them up towards the ceiling.
After you’ve curled all of your hair, grab some bobby pins and pin down the ends of each piece so they don’t fly away when you take off those clips later on!
Finally—and this part is optional—you can spray hairspray onto any strands that may have gotten out of place during styling; then remove those clips by carefully pulling at them while holding onto another strand or rolling them between two fingers until they come loose from their base point along each side where they were attached when initially put on there earlier (as shown above).

Messy, romantic down do with soft curls and flowers tucked behind the ear
Hair Type: Medium to long hair
If you’re blessed with a head full of thick, curly or wavy tresses, then this hairstyle is for you. It’s all about letting your natural texture do its thing—so leave the straighteners at home. If you have thicker hair that’s not naturally curly or wavy, try curling it first and then letting the curls fall out for a more relaxed look.
Hair Length: Shoulder-length to long
This style looks great on women with shoulder-length or longer hair because it flatters their face shape by drawing attention upward toward their eyes and away from a wide jawline or round cheeks. The best part? It works in any season and doesn’t require any heat styling tools!
Hair Color: Any shade under the sun (or moon)
All colors work well with this style since there aren’t any specific instructions given as far as color goes—just make sure whatever hue(s) your stylist picks complement each other well before committing! For those who are unsure which shades go together well — whether they’re blonde vs brunette vs redhead — try asking someone who knows what they’re doing like our editors here at [insert site name]. They’ll be happy to help guide along so there’s no doubt left lingering afterward which way leads back home safely 🙂
