As you can see there is so much versatility when it comes to braided hair. A braided wedding hairstyle can be carefree and effortless, chic and polished, or Bohemian and relaxed. Furthermore, there is a way to incorporate braids into any length of hair from the short to the super long, plus plait work in both finer and thicker hair types. Finally, braids also look good in complete up-dos, half up-dos, or just as a little detail in an existing style. There really is so much you can do with braids.

The versatility is not the only great thing about a braid as a bridal hairstyle. Most braids have great staying power, holding their style all day when secured with a few invisible grips and a light spritz of hairspray. You won’t have to worry about how your hair will look in pictures – if a few tendrils escape, it will just add to the charm of your style.

There are so many different styles of braid – from the simple rope braid to the intricate five-strand braid, from the classic French braid to the contemporary pull through braid. The best way to find the right braid for you is to book yourself in with your wedding hairstylist for a few sessions before the big day to experiment with a few different looks. This way you know the braided wedding hairstyle you have chosen will be perfect.
