Long hair offers endless possibilities for stunning and sophisticated wedding hairstyles.

Whether you’ve fallen in love with the look of long flowy trusses, Hollywood waves, side swept or a sweetly braided bohemian hairdo, there’s a wedding hairstyle for every bride.

Having long hair certainly has its advantages and the options increase exponentially with a few extra inches of hair. You can be a little more creative and adventurous with your hair but remember, your wedding day isn’t the day for experimentation.  Opt for something that you just know suits you.  You will feel so much more comfortable and you will feel more relaxed on the day.

When it comes to choosing the right hairstyle for you, there’s a few factors to think about. Your wedding theme, location, venue, face shape, whether you’ll be wearing a veil, your dress and the neckline on your gown. And most importantly, what feels the most comfortable for you.

We’ve pulled together our favourite wedding hairstyles for long hair. Wispy Hollywood waves, loose curls, half up hairstyles and the chic ponytail. Anything goes on your wedding day and remember, there are no rules.

1. Hollywood waves

Loose Hollywood waves are a timeless choice that exudes effortless beauty and romance. This hairstyle is perfect for brides who want a soft, feminine look that works well with various dress styles and wedding themes. We love how loose waves frame the face beautifully and enhance the cheekbones and jawline. 

How to accessorise Hollywood waves

  • This style is versatile and can be dressed up or down with accessorise. Pair Hollywood waves with crystal stud earrings or a side comb for effortless chic vibes.
  • A classic wedding veil with minimal gathers will let your hair remain the focus of your look.
  • A wedding crown or delicate tiara will add regality and luxe appeal.

2. Half up wedding hairstyles

A half up hairstyle is a popular choice for brides because it keeps the hair off your face (particularly handy if your wedding will be outside and potentially windy – think beach or seaside). It’s also a great way to secure your veil because it will have a firm bed to rest in. A half up hairstyle has the benefits of up hair and the romantic and glamorous feel of loose curls.

How to accessorise half up wedding hairstyles

  • Finish your look with a bridal headpiece positioned at the back to frame your hair.
  • A minimalist wedding veil will let your hair show through in the most beautiful way.
  • Dainty drop earrings will add a whimsical and organic detail, complementing the soft curls in your hair and framing your face.

3. Soft loose curls for long hair

We adore soft loose curls. Messy curls, neat curls, wispy curls. Whatever your preferred look, this look is endlessly romantic and chic. If you have shorter or thin hair, chat to your hairstylist about extensions to lengthen and/or thicken your hairstyle.

How to accessorise soft loose curls

  • Loose curls can be styled with halos and wedding crowns for a look that exudes regality.
  • You can also still wear a veil with an all out hairstyle but do ensure your hairstylist knows you want to wear a veil as they’ll have to use a few extra bobby pins to secure the veil into place.
  • Pearl drop earrings in medium to long lengths are an effortless way to frame your face.

4. Ponytail wedding hairstyle

We adore soft loose curls. Messy curls, neat curls, wispy curls. Whatever your preferred look, this look is endlessly romantic and chic. If you have shorter or thin hair, chat to your hairstylist about extensions to lengthen and/or thicken your hairstyle.

Loose curls can be styled with halos and wedding crowns for a look that exudes regality. You can also still wear a veil with an all out hairstyle but do ensure your hairstylist knows you want to wear a veil as they’ll have to use a few extra bobby pins to secure the veil into place.

How to accessorise a wedding ponytail

  • A wedding veil can still be worn with a ponytail however we recommend you choose a minimalist veil on a small comb, such as our AUDREY veil, or the BORDEAUX veil which we designed speicially for this much loved hairstyle.
  • We love to finish a ponytail with statement earrings to frame the neckline and face.
  • Delicate hair pins scattered to the side of a pony will add a touch of detail and a beautiful focal point from behind.

How To Accessorise Long Wedding Hair

When it comes to choosing accessories for long wedding hairstyles, the world is your oyster. Traditional veils, wedding crowns, flower halos, delicate headbands, hair pins – there’s a lot of options out there for you.

The best accessories will depend on the style of your dress, your personality, your face shape and whether you’d like to wear a veil. Some hairstyles suit a veil or headpiece that is attached to the front of your head, but others look better with a veil that is attached further towards the back.

If you’re planning to wear your hair half up/half down, you will have the perfect foundation to secure a wedding headpiece secured into the back or side. However, if loose flowy curls are more your style, you will just need some bobby pins and a little teasing and your hair piece should stay in place all day long.
