Wedding season has rolled back around once again! While the happy couple gear up for their big day, you’re getting your wedding guest look ready to celebrate them in style.
Between finding the perfect wedding gift and choosing an outfit that matches the theme and occasion, there are a few things that you may leave until the very last minute. Your hairstyle may be one of them. But if you’ve found yourself with your gift wrapped, fully dressed, makeup done, and no idea what to do with your tresses, this one is for you.
Here are some hairstyles that are perfect for wedding guests and are as easy as they are chic!
Perfect tousled waves
Great for beach weddings, garden weddings, and let’s face it, practically every wedding, tousled waves rule the roost!
This is a great way to add volume, texture, and just some free-spirited energy to your wedding look. All you need is a curling iron and maybe some dry shampoo if you want to give yourself even more volume. And remember, alternating directions towards and away from your face give your waves even more texture.

Whimsical Dutch side braid
Not a fan of the updo but don’t want to leave your hair loose around your face? Side braids may be the style for you. A Dutch side braid is a sweeping, whimsical style that looks much more complex than it is.
This is a great hairstyle for when you want to show off statement earrings or if your dress has a back that deserves a spotlight. It’s also great for adding some floral accents to your hair. Take a look at this tutorial by Missy Sue who whips up a Dutch braid in just 2 minutes.
Chic low buns
Let your outfit and accessories sing by sweeping your hair back into a low bun. A low bun is an easy, and classic, way to style your hair that doesn’t risk your hair falling in your face for the extent of the ceremony.
The low bun is comfortable, easy to customize, doesn’t draw attention away from your face, and works with most outfits you may be considering. Take a peek at Alex Gaboury’s tutorial below for 3 low bun hairstyles you can experiment with!
Stepped up ponytail
Elevate your everyday ponytail with this style. This style is easy enough to do on your own, while also being secure enough to handle some spirited hours on the dance floor!
It’s got volume for days and you can customize it with fresh flowers, sparkly clips, or leave a few gentle wisps framing your face. Here’s another tutorial by Alex Gaboury that’ll help you master this style in no time.
The best of both worlds half updo
A half updo gives you the perfect romantic style to suit the celebration of the happy couple’s love for each other!
There are multiple ways you can master the perfect half updo, but whatever you try you’re unlikely to go wrong with this chic hairstyle. Try adding some sparkling accessories or fresh flowers to elevate this look even more.

Short and sweet
If your hair’s too short for most of the styles you’ve come across, don’t worry you’re far from alone! Even though it can feel like the length of your hair puts you at a disadvantage, most hairstyles can be adapted to suit hair of any length.
With the right amount of bobby pins, hairspray, and some trinkets to weave through, your short hair can be styled into a stylish updo you’ll be fielding compliments on. Here’s a tutorial by Style Me Pretty on how to put your short hair into an updo.
