The best wedding hairstyles with curls: examples with photos

Your wedding day is getting closer and you still haven’t chosen your hairstyle? It doesn’t matter, because you can create the most romantic of all hairstyles - with curls that are suitable for any hair length.

A lot depends on the quality of the bride’s hairstyle, especially her mood for the whole day. It is so important to choose the perfect hairstyle that can last the entire wedding celebration without unpleasant surprises. That’s why girls love curls so much, which perfectly complement the image and emphasize the beauty and naturalness of healthy hair.

Long hair

Those with waist-length braids get the most opportunities. The main thing you should not forget about when choosing is your face shape:

So, curls look best on girls with small features. Large doll-style curls suit them very well;
if the bride has an elongated face or a long nose, then it is recommended to abandon backcombing and high-gathered strands;
with a round shape and large features, you should not choose voluminous styling and too large accessories for decoration;
bangs look harmonious with a low forehead or heart-shaped face. Then you can allow yourself to fluff up the hair on the back of your head, balancing your features.

Now let's turn to the types of hairstyles.

Hair down

This is the simplest option, suitable for absolutely all girls. They match any wedding dress and only emphasize natural tenderness. You just need to curl them in a way that suits you and slightly lift them at the roots to add volume. You can decorate with flowers, hairpins, headbands and other accessories selected to match the outfit.

With curls

If a girl has naturally curly hair, then you need to take care of its healthy condition. Then you won’t need any special styling.

Simply wash and dry them using styling products that will keep wild strands in check.

And when they are straight, but you really want perky curls, then curling irons come to the rescue. Just remember to protect yourself from too high temperatures. Therefore, you should take care in advance about good styling with vitamins and high-quality varnish that can fix the curls throughout the holiday.

Layed on its side

Another fashionable way is to comb them to the side. With this option, the neck remains open, its curve is emphasized and special tenderness is added to the entire image. This styling can be done even at home.

To do this, the hair is combed into a side parting, mousse or styling spray is applied to it, and then individual strands are curled with a cone-shaped curling iron. For more volume and beauty, a little backcombing is done at the roots and then everything is fixed with varnish. You can use additional decorations; hairpins that hold them together look especially good.

With a veil

In this case, it is best to pull the curls back and use hairpins or tiaras to which the veil will be attached. They can be either smooth or laid in a natural style. This hairstyle will look very elegant and romantic.

Braided

A variety of weaves and braids look very impressive. This way the shape will be preserved, the hair will not get in the way and blown by the wind, and this is also the case when the choice of jewelry is not limited.

The easiest way to style your hair is in the Greek style, when the curls are held back with satin ribbons, plaits or even wreaths of fresh flowers.

Openwork, light braids with woven ribbons, flowers or beads look unusual. Complex weaving on the head, ending with freely flowing curls, cannot be created at home and you will have to turn to a specialist for help, but how will they complete the image of the newlywed!

There are many different hairstyles that can be done with long hair. The choice of a specific one depends on the image as a whole and, of course, the desires of the bride herself. This is a win-win option for curls.

Additional accessories

The main thing in choosing accessories is to match them stylistically to the outfit. Large and shiny jewelry items will look appropriate in multi-layered embroidered dresses with fluffy skirts; for delicate, flowing fabrics, it is better to give preference to simple shapes or completely abandon jewelry.

A veil is the personification of purity and innocence; it gives every girl a delicate and fragile look. The veil looks great with any hairstyle; it can be attached to the top of the head, completely covering the bride’s face, or at the bottom of the hairstyle, for example, above or below the bun. To fix the veil on the comb, you should braid a small braid at the back of your head and cover it with hair from the top of your head. A long cascading veil goes well with gathered hair - a Greek braid; a single layer can cover the entire head, then neat curls will be visible through a thin layer of fabric, creating an atmosphere of mystery.

A tiara is a classic decoration in the form of a wreath made of stones and precious metals. The large and richly decorated attribute is harmoniously suitable for voluminous, lush curls and buns, creating a truly royal style. For a floral crown, you should give preference to light beach curls. Any type of tiara goes perfectly with a veil.

Earrings are the finishing touch to a bride's look. When choosing earrings, you should take into account the overall look. If the choice fell on the princess style, purchase large shiny models. These earrings will look good with loose hair and will not disappear into your hairstyle. For simple summer looks, the best choice would be stud earrings or small, neat clip-on earrings.

Average length

What if a girl prefers a shorter haircut? For such a case, there are also many types of wedding hairstyles. Moreover, with such a length it is easier to maintain its shape throughout the wedding.

Curls

You can afford both small curls and large Hollywood waves. Any loosely laid strands will look very beautiful, especially if you don’t forget about additional accessories.

Greek style

Just like for long hair, styling using plaits and headbands works well. On a medium length haircut they look even better.

Bun

Even with shoulder-length hair, you get neat knots and buns. In this case, you will simply need more styling products, hairpins and a large clip or comb.

Gathered up

Even such miracles can be created with the help of hairpins and a curling iron. And if the length is not enough at all, but you want a beautiful, lush styling, then you can always extend your hair or use false strands.

An experienced hairdresser will create the hairstyle of your dreams by styling your curls, even if they are just below your shoulders. But here it is no longer possible to do without auxiliary means. Although brides who love minimalism in everything are increasingly making do with just curls without additional tricks, which also looks very beautiful.

Fashion trends and who suits them

Curls on long strands with a comb look amazing

Most brides these days opt for volume. Chic and voluminous curls for a “big ring”. A limitation to this choice may be the weak ability of the hair to hold a curl. But this limitation is conditional; round curls can simply be curled a little looser or into smaller rings.

Also, if there is a lack of hair volume, false strands that can be curled in the same way as your own will work perfectly. The strands are attached to the hair with miniature hair clips and are guaranteed to stay in place throughout the wedding ceremony.

French double waterfall;
styling using tapes;
waterfall with a beam;
French waterfall plus twist.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a French waterfall wedding hairstyle:

Using a flat massage comb, carefully comb your hair so that it lies in an even, shiny wave. If necessary, you can apply a small amount of wax to the roots. This will help give your curls additional shine, the hair will not be frizzy, as a result of which the hairstyle will look more neat.
After which they take a strand from the face and begin to weave a braid approximately 4–5 cm long, heading towards the center of the head.
The top strand is left, later it will be twisted and loosened into a beautiful curl (this will be done with all the curls from the braids). Instead of this strand, take a new one and continue weaving with it.
Repeating the first step, finish weaving.
Finally, the tip of the braid is secured with a transparent, thin rubber band.
The final touch will be spraying hairspray to consolidate the result, as well as the use of wedding hair accessories - a tiara, a wreath or just flowers.

This style looks most impressive on curly hair. Straight strands can be curled using regular curlers or curling irons. But it’s better to do this after weaving. This way the hairstyle will be more neat, and the hair will not get tangled during styling.

Which option to choose?

There are so many types of styling described that you can get confused. But there are basic principles that will help you make the right choice, taking into account the style of the wedding itself. After all, the main thing is that the hairstyle suits the bride. Therefore, you need to build on the following parameters:

hair thickness;
face shape;
hair length;
haircut shape.

Hair Density:

Those with full hair can choose any hairstyle option. But large curls that fall beautifully from the shoulders or lie to the side look best.
For fine hair, use small curls to make the texture look fuller. Also add extensions as desired to create the desired length and volume.

Face Shape:

If you have a triangular or square face, then soft curls will perfectly smooth out the corners. Downward and neat waves will make your facial features more feminine.
For a round face, you cannot choose short curly hairstyles. Because of them, the features will become even wider. Therefore, only long or medium curls are suitable.
Brides with an oval face type are lucky - all types of hairstyles with loose curls suit them.
With a rectangular face, you need to be careful not to stretch it out even more. Part your hair on the side, add curls near your face, or place your curls on one side.

On the side

The curls laid on one side give the bride and groom incredible tenderness and sophisticated elegance at the same time. The bride can collect her hair on one side with her own hands, without resorting to the services of professionals.

Procedure for laying on its side:

Comb your hair thoroughly and, sprinkling each strand with hairspray, curl it with a curling iron into elastic curls.
Carefully separate the resulting curls with an asymmetrical parting so that there is more hair on one side.
With the help of hairpins, the curls are formed into a beautiful wave, falling on one side.
Decorate the hairstyle with a tiara, flowers or tika.

If you do a light backcombing at the beginning of styling, this will help give additional volume and fluffiness.
