Wedding Ponytail Hairstyles + Bridal Accessory Ideas

The ponytail. Some might say it's the workhorse of hairstyles (forgive the pun!). Women with long hair wear them allll the time—from the gym, to dinner, on a date, to an interview, and as a wedding day hairstyle!

Depending on your personal and wedding day aesthetic, you can take a ponytail in almost any direction, especially with the right bridal hair accessories.

Ponytail Bridal Hairstyles and Accessories

Below are a few of our brides' favorite ways of rocking a ponytail and the bridal headpieces that elevate their style for the big day.

Wedding High Ponytail

Sleek and modern while also sexy and a little retro, this bridal pony offers practicality (no hair in your face or neck!). A high ponytail—a la ‘70s Cher and Ariana Grande—adds a little swing to your step. Wearing one you can’t help but feel powerful and beautiful.

All sorts of crystal headpieces look great with a high ponytail, including bridal headbands and hair vines. We also love a wedding crown with a high pony rising over top!
 

Low Pony Wedding Hair

Pulled back and secured at the nape of the neck, this pony is a classic. Like the high pony, it can be styled in a variety of ways. You can go the messy bridal ponytail route—a little artful tousling and your ponytail will have romantic vibes. When we think of this look, sleek may come to mind, but you can also ask your stylist to build a low pony with volume. It’s a super glam, modern wedding day look.

Like high ponytail wedding hair, there is no wrong accessory. Our beautiful brides love pairing their pony with bridal combs placed to the side, floral-inspired headbands, sparkling princess tiaras, and bridal hair vines woven throughout.

Side Ponytail Wedding Hair

Asymmetry brings interest to this wedding hairstyle. Pulled off to one side, it’s at once elegant and sexy. This look is just as versatile as the other ponytail types—wear your side pony as a thick braid, ask your stylist to create a cascade of curls, or just go sleek.

This pony lends itself to a bold wedding hair comb placed to one side (just remember to wear it on the side you’ll be photographed at the altar!). However, if you want sparkle all the way around, a wedding crown looks fabulous paired with side ponytail hairstyles, as does a bridal halo or artfully arranged hair vine.
