With countless variations, the updo is the go-to solution to tame your hair and keep it at bay while you enjoy your special day. Pulling your hair up will also help show off jewelry, lengthen the neckline, and accentuate the bone structure, allowing the focus to be on other aspects of your look, while still being polished. Whether slicked back, loose and tousled, we've curated five elevated updos that will fit the needs of every bride.

Put a Bow on it

By far the most sought-after accessory this year: the bow. Tie one around your chignon or loosely layer them for an effortless look. Wearing a bow in your hair can double as a veil alternative, adding a feminine and contemporary touch to your bridal look. 

Simple & Sleek

Reminiscent of iconic supermodels, slicked-back buns are a classic way to add elegance to your updo. Simply smooth the sides and secure the bun as high or low as you desire. This sleek style exudes sophistication and is perfect for the modern bride.

The Undone Bun

Effortless elegance, this intentionally loose bun is the perfect look for the nonchalant bride. Balance out your lavish look with a hairstyle that exudes simplicity, and add accessories like beaded pearls to tie in other aspects of your look.

The Modern Twist

Whether you're looking for a modern take on the Y2K brain braids or a simple figure eight, adding a twist (or twists) to your bun will feel fresh and updated. Plus, the added texture creates visual interest, perfect for complementing intricate veils or other accessories.

The Tousled Updo

An imperfectly knotted or braided tousled updo is a must for the bohemian bride. Evocative of a bygone era, add texture and romance to any gown with this effortlessly laid-back style. Striking the perfect balance between carefree and goddess, a tousled updo is made for outdoor and destination weddings.
