Chic Bridal Hair Styles | Romantic Long Waves

Figuring out how to wear your hair on your wedding day (and then picking a bridal headpiece) is right up there with finding your perfect wedding dress. There are so many options: bridal ponytails, glamorous Hollywood waves, low buns, half-up/half-down, braids...the list goes on and on.

One downdo we never tire of is loose waves, sometimes called long waves. They are not to be confused with Hollywood waves, which we'll explain below!

Long locks are definitely a must to achieve a loose waves hairstyle, but that doesn't mean they have to be natural! Extensions can bring extra volume and length if your hair isn't quite long or thick enough.

 

 

 

 

What are Long, Loose Waves?

 

This romantic and feminine wedding hairstyle features long, flowing waves cascading down the back. The waves are typically relaxed or tousled, creating a natural and effortless look. This hairstyle is a great choice for brides with long hair who want to exude elegance and grace on their wedding day.

 

Long Waves vs. Hollywood Waves

 

Hollywood waves are a more structured version of the classic wave. This long hairstyle features pronounced, deep waves created with a smaller curling iron. The result is more defined waves that read super glam and polished. It's perfect for brides-to-be who want to bring the red carpet style to their aisle.
