Your wedding day hair is a pretty big deal. You want something romantic, something timeless, but also something that feels special.
I’ve been obsessed with all the creative and stunning things you can do with short hair, proving you don’t need super long locks for a show-stopping look.
1. Elegance
For a look that just screams elegance, a simple and sleek low bun is a foolproof choice.
I love how the straight flyaways and a single small accessory pull the whole thing together. It’s chic, polished, and just so timeless.
2. Textured Braid Updo
A braid can seriously work magic on your wedding day. You can try this textured braid that’s twisted into a gorgeous updo.
Adding a little bit of baby’s breath is the perfect finishing touch, don’t you think?
3. Boxer Braid into Low Bun
If you’re looking for something a bit more unique, this look is such a great option.
Give yourself a couple of braids and then tie it all together with a low bun at the end. It’s sporty and chic all at once.
4. Wavy Beauty
Is there anything more romantic than gorgeous waves? I’m obsessed with this style.
Just create some beautiful waves and then pin a bit of your hair back with a totally stunning accessory. So simple, but so effective.
5. Twisted Halo Braid
The twisted halo braid literally gives you your own crown to wear on your big day, which I just love.
Plus, it’s a super easy style to pop a few accessories into for a little extra sparkle.

You can never go wrong with simplicity, especially for a minimal wedding vibe.
These simple curls are just beautiful and prove you don’t need a lot to look incredible.
7. Wavy Ponytail
I know, I know—ponytails might not seem like wedding hair, but hear me out! They totally can be.
Just add a pretty curl to your hair and rock a low, loose ponytail. It’s an effortlessly cool look for your special day.
8. Messy Bun
For a more laid-back celebration, a messy bun with a loose braid is such a great style choice. It’s comfortable, chic, and has that perfectly undone feel.

A middle braid right down the center of your hair looks seriously awesome. Plus, it’s super simple to do, which is always a bonus on a busy day!
