Romantic Undone Updos

If you love the look of an updo but don't want anything too stiff or formal, this is such a pretty option.

These styles have a little volume, loose pieces around the face, and sections that look casually pinned into place. They're still secure enough to last through your wedding, but without that super-perfect finish.

I especially love this kind of updo with an off-the-shoulder or strapless dress.


Modern French Twists

French twists are back, but they don't have to look like something you'd wear to prom in 2005.

The newer versions have a little more texture and volume, and some even have pieces sticking out at the top for a slightly undone look.

A French twist with a simple satin wedding dress is such a chic combination. You really don't need much else going on.


Old Hollywood Waves

If you want to feel like an absolute movie star on your wedding day, you can't go wrong with Old Hollywood waves.

Bride with long, glossy brunette Hollywood waves swept over one shoulder, wearing a strapless wedding gown.

A deep side part and big, glossy waves are so pretty with a strapless gown or a dress with a dramatic neckline.

You can keep the waves really defined for that vintage look or brush them out a little for something softer.


Sculptural Bridal Buns

This is one of my favorite trends for brides who want something a little different from the usual wedding hairstyles.

Instead of a regular low bun, the hair is twisted and looped into interesting shapes. Some are really sleek and minimal, while others are a little more dramatic.

I love this with a simple wedding dress because the hairstyle itself becomes the statement.


Soft Half-Up, Half-Down Hairstyles

Half-up hairstyles are always a popular wedding choice, but I love the softer versions that are trending right now.

Instead of a big teased crown and super-perfect curls, these have loose waves and a few pieces gently pinned back.

It's a really pretty option if you want to wear your hair down but don't want to spend the whole day pushing it out of your face.


Vintage-Inspired Finger Waves

If you're into vintage fashion, finger waves are such a fun hairstyle to consider for your wedding.

They look especially good on shorter hair and bobs, but you can also incorporate them into an updo if you have longer hair.

I love the idea of pairing finger waves with a simple wedding dress and some really pretty vintage earrings.


Sleek Low Ponytails

A ponytail might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you're planning your wedding hair, but a sleek low ponytail can look so chic.

A clean part, smooth hair, and a little extra length or volume can make it feel way more dressed up than your everyday ponytail.

You can also wrap a section of hair around the elastic so you don't see the hair tie.

This is such a good option if you love a minimal bridal look.


Bridal Bobs

If you have short hair, don't feel like you need to grow it out or get extensions just for your wedding.

A softly waved bob, a sleek side-parted style, or even a slightly flipped-out bob can look so pretty with a wedding dress.

And if you want to make it feel a little more bridal, you can always add a small hair accessory or a veil.


Pearl Hair Accessories

Pearls are such a pretty way to dress up a simple bridal hairstyle, especially if you don't want anything too sparkly.

You can add a few pearl pins to a low bun, use a pearl hair comb, or work some tiny pearls into a braid.

I love when the pearls are just a little detail you notice from the back rather than covering the entire hairstyle.


Romantic Hair Knots

If you like the undone updo trend but want something a little more interesting, knotted hairstyles are worth saving.

These styles have sections of hair twisted and tied into loose knots, almost like a more relaxed version of a sculptural bun.

They're especially pretty when there's a little texture and a few loose pieces around the face.

This would be gorgeous for a garden wedding or an outdoor ceremony.


Bridal Hair Scarves

I love this trend for brides who want something a little unexpected, especially for a courthouse wedding or a second bridal look.

Bride wearing a sheer floral lace headscarf tied at the back, with long lace tails draped over loose brunette waves.

A sheer lace scarf draped over your hair can look so romantic, and it's a fun alternative to a traditional veil.

You can wear one over loose waves or with a simple low bun.

It has that vintage-inspired feel without looking too costume-y.


Natural Curls and Texture

If you have naturally curly or textured hair, there's no reason you need to straighten it for your wedding day.

Smiling Black bride wearing her natural coils in a voluminous curly updo while getting ready.

Defined curls worn down, a voluminous curly updo, or a half-up hairstyle that shows off your natural texture can all look amazing.

You could even add a few delicate hair pins or a pretty comb if you want something extra.

Just make sure your bridal stylist has experience working with your specific hair texture so you can actually enjoy your wedding day without worrying about your hair.


Statement Floral Hair Accessories

I'm loving the idea of one big, pretty flower tucked into a bridal hairstyle instead of a bunch of tiny flowers scattered throughout.

A fabric flower pinned to the side of a low bun or tucked behind one ear can look so romantic.

It's especially pretty if the flower matches your dress or has a similar fabric texture.

And if you're having a spring or summer wedding, this would be such a cute detail.


Deep Side Parts

Side parts are making a comeback, and they're such an easy way to make a simple bridal hairstyle feel a little more glamorous.

Bride with shoulder-length brunette waves, a deep side part, and one side tucked behind a statement earring.

A deep side part looks gorgeous with soft waves, a sleek bun, or even a short bob.

It's also a great option if you're planning to wear statement earrings because you can tuck one side of your hair behind your ear.


Bridal Braids With a Modern Twist

Braids are always pretty for weddings, but I love when they're used as a smaller detail rather than the entire hairstyle.

Side-back view of a brunette bridal updo with a small braid woven into a softly textured low bun.

A delicate braid worked into a low bun, a sleek braided ponytail, or a few tiny braids mixed into a half-up hairstyle can look so cool.

It's also a fun way to add a little texture to an otherwise simple hairstyle.

Final Thoughts on 2027 Wedding Hair Trends

Whether you're into romantic updos, vintage waves, or something sleek and modern, there are so many pretty wedding hairstyles to choose from for 2027.

I'd save a few different options before your hair trial, including at least one you wouldn't normally consider. You might be surprised by what you end up loving once you try it with your dress.

And definitely bring pictures of your dress and any hair accessories or veil you're planning to wear. It'll make it so much easier to figure out what works together.
