@_e3shThese cascading curls have some fabulous volume and are super glamorous. To get this long hair, you can use a weave or extensions or even a wig if you don't have the natural volume.This might just be a look that you want to keep after the wedding day.
@weddingsonpointThis sweet updo is so lovely for a bride. The well-defined curls, side sweep, veil, and ribbon hair accessories make for a stunning wedding photo. All eyes will be on you with this look.
@kaiyinbeautyA braid is one of the most basic and beautiful things you can do to get a hot wedding hairstyle. This side-swept big braid is romantic, and although this braid is somewhat plain, you can braid a lot of different ways and incorporate all types of gems, pearls, etc. into your look. A bridal tiara can also be used to add major sparkle.
@kaiyinbeautyThis elegant take on the pompadour keeps natural hair beautiful and in place. You can add in some pearl or gem tipped pins for a more sparkling effect. This look might seem a bit complicated, but it is not, and you can easily add in some hair to get the volume needed.
@wellglambeautyCornrows can be a gorgeous take on an updo and help hair stay together. This is a pretty look that is ideal for any special occasion. There is also room for a crown or tiara veil if that is the look you ultimately want.
@su.reina.bridalThose with natural hair cropped short may see that this is a good solution to their bridal look. For this hair is slicked back and a dramatic crown and veil are used. While this crown is quite high, there are plenty of more delicate options out there in a variety of patterns.
@noivanegraThis cute bob can go anywhere. Super smooth waves and a side sweep results in a vintage look that can be worn no matter if you are the bride or a lucky guest. We love that this look is short enough to be manageable but long enough that you can change it up a bit when desired.
@chatelnoire_bridalThis stunning and smooth take on the chignon bun is elegant on a lot of levels. The defined flow to the back is captivating, and it does a lot to open up the face and show off eyes.
@arquimidesgCurls are hot when combined with elegant accessories. This shoulder-skimming look is just oh so pretty.
This ultimate princess look is stunning in so many ways. The headpiece is a fantastic alternative to a traditional tiara and the long straight hair to the waist is as feminine as it gets. This is one of the most simple yet beautiful long hair looks for your big day.
@glammbyireneFor a look that calls back to the 1920s and 30s, there is this easy-to-do Afro hair loose braids bun with absolutely gorgeous gemstone adornment.There are a lot of hair jewelry types that can be used. For an elaborate look, you can use white gemstones hair accessories or even some that are dyed whatever color you desire.
@theblackflower92African American brides with naturally textured curls will love this look. Ultra-feminine hat hair accessory with lace in combination with a low elegant updo is a downright beautiful bridal hairstyle that is also very budget-friendly and not at all time-consuming to put together.
@theblackbridetobeIf you love flowers then why not show them off in your beautiful black wedding hairstyle? Ladies with lovely natural texture will not have a hard time pulling off this African American women look.You can let your creativity flow with this natural black hair look. If you don't want to use large floral accessories, then a series of smaller ones can be majorly beautiful.
@noivanegraCan we just say this is such an amazing and intricate wedding hairstyle? Dutch and french braids always turn a relaxed hair updo hairstyle into a work of art in itself.Braided hair takes some more talent to get compared to just incorporating popular hair accessories, so make sure you go to a very good stylist if you want this wedding hairstyle.This is not a loose buttery curls kind of style that you can get quickly so be prepared to spend a little time in the chair for this one.
@bianca_danielleThe way the flowers are concentrated around the face makes for a stunning wedding theme. If you want to let your beautiful curls shine naturally, then this is one of the best beautiful wedding hairstyles that can do it for you.
@theblackbridetobeThis ethereal wedding hairstyle is simple but very lovely. Wearing hair in a high bun but natural can be a little tame for a special occasion like a wedding but those unique gold hair accessories draped around the pin curls high bun makes it special.If gold is not your color, then silver would work great for a wedding day high updo as well.
@noivanegraA pretty yet basic perfect wedding hairstyle that you can adorn any way you want - that is what characterizes this loose curls half-up bridal hairstyle.
@tanayajmakeupBlack brides with short hair, medium-length hair or long hair dreadlocks may consider getting loose curls for their big day. We love how this wedding hairstyle involves a big side sweep and the maroon highlights set off this black wedding hairstyle.
@malikadanae_photographyHere is another simple yet stunning princess wavy hair wedding style that will make heads turn towards you for sure and allow for some pictures to treasure.
@a.wilks_beautycollectiveLong loose waves are romantic and pretty. The large snowflake style hair comb adds some wedding day elegance to this perfect hairstyle.And if long hair is just in your dreams, don’t worry and opt for sleek hair extensions that will make this absolutely gorgeous black wedding hairstyle your reality.
@tweekesweddingsThis simple messy look for black brides is pretty and bohemian. Just put your hair up however you want and use some extra bridal hair accessories with flowers or other pretty adornments on top of them. These charming loose curls are gonna last long, look natural, and allure your partner with those magnificent hair flowers.
@blackweddinghairGoing natural is easy and gorgeous. This is a good wedding hairstyle for black women if you are choosing to wear a headpiece of any sort. The Afro puff at the back is well-secured with crown braids that keep that hair thickness away from the face making the natural hairstyles much more practical. With the wedding theme accessories, the options are pretty limitless.
@canvaseetyThis perfect bridal hairstyle is curled into a bun, and a pretty orchid is all that is needed to send this style over the top with charm and beauty. A low bun classic wedding updo is the type of bridal hairstyles that works for any hair texture and type. Undoubtedly, this versatile and long-lasting hairstyle sits perfectly on loose curls as well.
@jorissa_wilsonSometimes all you need is a basic look and the right accessory to look good. This pixie cut is simplicity and beauty all in one. It's one of the best wedding hairstyles for black women with round faces! Also, this pixie is an interpretation of a regal finger waves updo combined with a hair clip that falls like a veil.
@topbeautybarwigsThe reason why so many ladies love this hair color is that it is flattering on a lot of different complexions. The multifaceted color and well-defined hairline are a look that you might want to wear for a long time. This is a great hairstyle for medium length hair. Such bold and bright black women’s wedding hairstyles are for the ladies who love it when all the eyes are on them.
@blackweddinghairYour wedding day is one of the few days where you are going to have a great excuse to wear a sparkly floral crown so why not go with it and have some fun? Wedding themes are all about crowns, hair flowers, wedding gowns, and veil veils - grab the chance with black wedding updo hairstyles like this.
@gadartistryllcThis style for natural hair combines cornrows and a retro roll style that is different and very appealing. A pretty hair comb or a few jeweled pins can add some sparkle effect. This roll updo works like a high bun and guarantees your comfort throughout the wedding day.
@tarestopiaThis double bun effect is different, and we love how the thin ribbons are shaped like a bow. This style offers a pretty and sophisticated wedding day updo. You can object that the textured updo in the photo is done on naturally straight hair. However, we wanna ensure you that similar double-bun elegant wedding hairstyles work magic for Afro hair as well.
@tweekesweddingsThis beautiful long curls updo has a lot of floral detail to it in the front and a smooth side part. A pretty flower hair clip sets it off. This is a somewhat time-consuming look, but it is well worth it overall. And how do you feel about such hair clip bridal ideas?
@beatbymoBig, medium loose curls that are allowed to lay loose are pretty, and they are one of those elegant wedding hairstyles that anyone can wear well. When it comes to curls, keeping down the frizz factor is one of the most important things to keeping things looking good so using the right products should be a priority.
@gadartistryllcThis take on the low bun bridal hairstyles is just cool. Instead of a traditional back-of-the-head bun, this low bun is rolled to the side while bangs are swept in the same direction. Side-swept hairdos, low textured bun messy updos, and deep side part afros like this are better to secure with a decent hair clip, pin, or even a head scarf.
@gadartistryllcAnother classic swept to the side look that looks outstanding, is curly ringlets with just a hint of highlights in them. You will look out of this world with this hairstyle. Layered loose ringlets will keep the natural texture in order and a shiny hair comb will complement the wedding dress.
This updo with silver flower crown is braiding at its best. Braiding makes an easy wedding style choice and always turns out to be a fab choice.
A low bun can be very elegant when the flow of the hair is this great. We suggest a keratin treatment get this level of smoothness to coarse hair. This treatment will work for months at keeping hair smooth. A small veil is a solid choice for ladies that love the traditional but don't want a long veil that hides a lot or gets in the way.
Plenty of updo hairstyles is oriented towards the back or exactly on top of the head. This straight to curly look is purposely pushed towards the front. The size of the curl is up to you but we love this medium curl look.
Shiny and sleek dreadlocks can make an eye-catching updo. This look is so neat and pretty and the side sweep achieved is phenomenally good looking.
These beautiful box braids are taken to another level of style when put into an updo with a glittery hairpiece. We love how the braids are so artfully draped to form this style.
This updo has a lot of height centered on the top of the head. The pics above show the different looks you can get by simply changing out accessories. The versatility of this style makes it worthy of any list.
Rolling and tucking hair under is a beautiful alternative to a bun. A long and lovely adornment adds fashionable glamor to the up tuck. Side-swept bangs look fab with this style.
These short curls combined with the flowery head band makes this a fresh and youthful look that shows off natural beauty.
If you love the vintage jazz queen hairstyles, then the twin victory roll is the style for you. Smooth hair is rolled with care and secured. The smooth lower sides could allow for some jeweled pins or another adornment.
