I feel like short-haired brides sometimes think they drew the short straw, but I could not disagree more. A chic bob or a cute pixie cut is the foundation for so many gorgeous wedding looks, from updos to beautiful waves.
I’ve pulled together some of my faves to give you all the inspo you need.
1. Pulled Back
You really can’t go wrong with a simple and stunning look like this one. I just love the idea of sweeping your hair back away from your face and letting a beautiful accessory do all the talking. It’s so effortless and keeps the focus right where it should be, which is on you!
2. Headband
For all my pixie cut ladies, this one’s for you! A headband is such a genius way to elevate your look for the big day. It’s one of those simple additions that makes a huge impact without a ton of fuss, and I’m honestly obsessed with the result. It adds just the right amount of spice.
3. Add a Bow
If you’re hoping to make a serious statement, this is it. I mean, how fun is this?! Go for some gorgeous curls and then finish it off with a giant bow. It’s such a bold and playful look that I just can’t get enough of.
4. Twist and Classic Waves
When you want to wear your hair down but still feel special, this combo is just perfect. Create some stunning waves all over and add a simple twist to keep hair out of your face. For a little something extra, you can weave in some baby’s breath. So pretty!
5. Added Accessories
I know that flowers aren’t for everyone, and that’s totally okay! You can try a look that brings in pearls and gems instead. I think this is such a chic way to add some sparkle to your wedding day style.
6. Crown Braid
A crown braid is just one of those styles that always looks amazing. I find that it pairs so well with short hair and some pretty waves. It’s a classic for a reason!
7. Texture and Tuck
I am so into this vibe. It’s all about getting a lot of great texture into your hair and then finishing it with a simple tucked bun at the nape of your neck. It feels so modern and chic.
8. Back Knot
If you have a bob, this is such a gorgeous option. You can curl your hair and then take a few pieces and knot them in the back. It’s a beautiful look that feels really special.
9. Simple Updo
A simple updo is an ideal style if your hair is on the shorter side. I love how this one gets a lot of volume on top and then gathers into a beautiful but unfussy bun at the nape of the neck.
10. Vintage Hair
This is such a fun idea! Why not do a little throwback with your hair? Adding some classic, vintage-inspired waves gives off such a timeless and glamorous vibe that I am absolutely here for.
11. Double Braid
For a truly stunning look, you can create two braids right next to each other. I personally love how this looks with a nice flower accessory to finish it off. It adds such a pretty, feminine touch.
12. Rapunzel Vibes
Talk about a showstopper! Go for a large braid that’s a little bit messy and complete the style with a flower accessory. This look is so dreamy.
13. Classic Curl
Sometimes simple is best. If you don’t want to do anything too major with your hair, this is a perfect go-to. A simple curl throughout and a pretty accessory are all you need to complete the look.
14. Headband Braid
Yes, you can absolutely get this gorgeous braid on your wedding day, even with short hair! Trust me, it’s such a stunning style that works so well.
15. Pinned Down
If you want to make sure your hair stays put all day, this is a great option. It’s a style where you curl your hair and then pin it in place. Adding a few flowers is the perfect finishing design. Once it’s set, you’re good to go.
16. Texture Chiffon
Giving your hair some texture is a surefire way to create a brand new style that will look absolutely stunning on your wedding day. Just add the classic chiffon accessory and you are all set.
17. Straight and Simple
Just because it’s your wedding doesn’t mean you have to have curly hair! I personally love a sleek, straight look. It’s so chic and timeless.
18. Shaved Style
I love this so much. Even with a shaved head, you can create the perfect wedding day hairstyle. Adding a few flowers and curling the rest of your hair results in a look that’s both edgy and beautiful.
19. Curled Bun
You can give your bun a little more style by curling your hair before twisting it up. I think adding some baby’s breath for a finishing touch is just so sweet.
20. Curl and Tuck
Curling your hair is one of my favorite ways to add a lot of volume and dimension. Once your hair is curled, you can use a pretty accessory to tuck some of the curls away. This creates such a beautiful style.
21. Volume in the Back
Here’s a great trick: leave your hair down and wavy but add a little bit of volume right at the crown of your head. This gives your hair an instant style lift with minimal work. Plus, it’s the perfect base for a veil.
22. Braid into Bun
I am obsessed with this combination. You get to bring two classic looks together by incorporating a braid into your bun. The final touch is adding an accessory to pull it all together.
23. Double Braid
If you want something a little different, go off the grid with this double braid and twist option. It’s such a unique and eye-catching style.
24. Half Up
The half-up style is so popular right now, and for good reason! It’s a perfect choice for your wedding day. For a more formal feel, I’d recommend adding tons of curls and volume.
25. Volume and Waves
Adding waves to your hair is always a perfect choice for a wedding. My biggest tip here is to make sure you get a lot of volume in there so your waves stay perky and alive all day long. A headband is the perfect finishing touch.
So there you have it, thirty gorgeous wedding hairstyles that you can easily wear, even with short hair. I hope you found the perfect look to make you feel like the knockout that you are!
