Short bridal hairstyles

Have you noticed that when someone gets engaged, they often decide to grow their hair for their wedding day?

It’s a common thought process because many believe that longer hair is necessary for most wedding hairstyles and updos. However, you don’t need long hair to look and feel like a beautiful bride on your special day.

Short wedding hair is chic and versatile, offering a range of styles that are both elegant and modern. Whether you’re sporting a pixie cut, a bob, or anything in between, there’s a perfect bridal look for you.

1. The Classic Pixie Cut

A pixie cut is all about simplicity and sophistication. Keep it sleek and smooth or a polished look, or add texture with a texturising spray to add volume and movement to your pixie cut.

Accessories:

A delicate bridal headband can add a touch of elegance to a pixie cut. Opt for something with crystals or pearls for a timeless look.
You can still wear a veil with a short bridal hairstyle. Ask us about how we can customise your veil onto a headband so it won’t need to be secured to your hair directly.

2. Wavy lob (long bob)

A popular choice for brides this season, a wavy lob is perfect for both chic and glamorous wedding looks and also relaxed, boho-inspired wedding themes. Create loose waves with a curling wand and tousle them in a setting spray for a natural finish.

Personalise your hair with a small braid down one side or experiment with a half up hairstyle to add volume and texture.

Accessories

A delicate side comb or floral hair piece will frame your face and add a beautiful point of interest to your hair.
Consider a delicate headband nestled into your soft waves and finish with some statement earrings.

Vintage Hollywood waves are a must have for high style weddings and retro-inspired bridal looks. Use a curling iron to create defined waves and set them with a strong hold hairspray. Use a fine-tooth comb to shape and smooth the waves into place.

Accessories

Opt for a small crystal or pearl comb to pin to one side or finish with a statement birdcage veil to add height and drama.

Choosing wedding accessories for short bridal hairstyles

Short hair opens up a world of possibilities for bridal accessories. Think delicate headbands, crystal bridal combs, birdcage veils and hair vines. Be sure to communicate your short bridal hairstyle to us before you order and we’ll be able to let you know if we can customise the design to suit you, or recommend another style that might be more suitable for your hair length.

When selecting accessories, remember your hair must support the comb or clip. Avoid headpieces without secure attachments or excessive weight.

Most importantly, stay true to yourself. Let your individuality shine through your hairstyle. If you’ve rocked a short hairstyle for years, embrace it on your wedding day. This isn’t the time for drastic changes. Highlight your best features and celebrate your unique style, ensuring you look like the best version of yourself.
