Bridal Hairstyle Ideas for Curly Hair

Curly or wavy locks can look beautiful on your wedding day. Many pretty bridal hairstyles work well with curly hair, including both updos and leaving your hair down. Here we take a look at some of the best curly wedding hairstyles.

Messy Updo

Instead of pulling your hair into a sleek bun, ride the waves of your curly hair and let them hang a little loose. Pull your hair into an updo that is not too high nor too low on your head. If your curls are a little frizzy, smooth them into shape or touch them up with a curling iron.

Messy Long Waves

The messy look isn't just for short hair or updos. It works with long, wavy hair as well. This is a very natural look that doesn't take much preparation time. It's perfect for a beach or outdoor wedding. Flowers put the finishing touches on this look.

Short and Sexy

Your hair doesn't have to be long to look beautiful on your wedding day. Embrace your short, curly hair and create this gorgeous style by using styling spritz to separate the curls a little bit. Finish off the look by using a curling iron to get those simple curls that look like you didn't even try.

Long and Curly

If your curly hair is well past shoulder-length, an updo can become heavy and hard to manage. Don't be afraid to leave your hair long and curly. Long, large curls cascade beautifully when worn with a strapless gown like this one pictured below.

Half-Up, Half-Down

Pull the top portion of your hair away from your face, smoothing your hair into a high ponytail, leaving the bottom portion down, for a half-up, half-down look. This bridal hairstyle looks best with medium to long hair with looping curls. Sweep your bangs to the side to open up the beauty of your face.
