Boho brides will appreciate this updo which is surprisingly simple in structure but amazes all onlookers with its seemingly baffling complexity and textural elements. A very loose bun, styled from curls, which are highlighted can create the stunning dimensional effect that you notice here. Your hubby-to-be will fall more in love with you while all others shall be raving about your trendy updo for days!

Your voluminous waves, styled into a loose bun (sideswept or otherwise) and adorned with flowers makes for an excellent romantic look. Suitable for a wedding dress of any silhouette, you may opt to go in for an asymmetric style for a sophisticated, refined look or a symmetric style for a more traditional vintage look.

10. Low Knot Angelic Look

A low-knot bun, adorned with a stylish hair clip or some glitzy hair accessory makes for a perfect updo for brides who have chosen to wear angel-cut wedding veils that will sit low on their head. Simple and sophisticated, this one adds just the right tints of subtle romantic vibes and an ethereal charm to your wedding day look.

11. Messy Bun With Bouffant

My personal favorite on the list, this one is as beautiful as it gets. Evocative of an individual style statement, this one is unconventional, cutting-edge, and fashion forward. Combining the messy bun with a graceful bouffant and completing the look with stunner white roses, this one is THE look you need for your D-day. In case you want to give the flowers a skip, you may opt for a chunky braid or a twisted curl weave in its place! All-so good, I am trying it now!

12. Romantic Flowered And Braided Bun

This pulled-back look with its curly and twisted locks locked in at the nape of the neck give this look the glint of timeless elegance. Unlike a large low bun that maximizes the traditional quotient, this one is unconventional, sassy, and yet radiates a refined elegance. A gilded accessory will add the final finish.

A gorgeous bouffant with delicate wispy side bangs is an amazing wedding updo option. A curly, messy low bun on the side or mid section works well with the style, and the updo is apt for the brides who have voluminous long tresses as well as those with thinner hair. Teaming it up with chandelier earrings or danglers of the glitzy kind will be the cherry on top.

16. Side Bun With Delicate Flowers

If you have natural curls, then you can gather your tendrils into a low side bun with some of your curls to play loose on your face. Pair them with some sweet regal hued-flowers that complement a colored wedding attire well and feel the magical bliss of being in a stretch of fragrant blossoms, with your beloved by your side!

17. French Roll In Flowers

A French roll is simple and elegant and has a timeless appeal that is hard to ignore. Teamed up with some white flowers with sunshine at the centre can make for an eye-catching accent in the updo. Try it out, now!

18. Braided Hair Updo In Curled Bun

Keep this formal updo from appearing too subtle by adding an interesting braided detail. Flatten the curls into creative coils and gather them into a low voluminous bun for a slightly updated take on the expected look. This is a worthy option for brides who like minimalist options!

 

 

19. Bulky Bun With Striking Hair Jewelry

A high bun isn’t a new updo. But a rope braid around it with a striking hair accessory elevates it to another level altogether.

20. Messy Waves With Floral Pearl Hairband

Effortless and carefree waves are given a posh boost when paired with a glamorous pearl headband. This could take the place of a traditional veil on your wedding day and lend you a crown you needn’t make visible!

21. Low Curly Roll With Bling

Instead of opting for a tight bun, opt for a low roll, that’s larger, loose, and makes use of your gorgeous curls to maximize the dimensional effect. Finish off with a dazzler piece to coronate the updo.

22. Mid Curl Bun With Sparkly Comb

Gathering curls neither too low nor high but somewhere in the middle creates the most endearing fullness and a ponytail-like effect. Let the tendrils hang for a loose and lush look, leaving a few out around the front to frame the face. A small comb adds visual interest and makes this the perfect look for your big day!

A braided crown can either be casually fun or elegant depending on how you style the rest of the hair. By wrapping the ends and rolling them into a bun you create a chic vintage look. For something more casual, you could opt for a simple knot. Either way, the result is fabulous!
