Wedding Styles Experts Love

April 12, 2022

Although bridal and wedding styles are a mixture of personality, preference, time of year, and theme, we wanted to ask some of the experts from our global directory to weigh in on the top wedding trends they are currently enjoying.

Delicate details are becoming a huge hype right now, according to bridal pro Erin Shanley, “especially in the form of rope braids and waves.” Wedding hairstyles are becoming softer and a little more undone for the coming seasons. Check out some of our Half Up hairstyles to inspire you for your next event.

As dresses today are showcasing more intricate design, experts are saying to keep the hair simple! Do you know a thing or two about Knot Buns? We’ll give you a hint…they are the biggest statement style right now. When less is more, choose a Knot bun. Seen recently on both the red carpets from the Grammys to Oscars, the knot bun can be worn high or low.

Wedding expert, Trish Van Zee is loving, what she calls, the elevated luxe boho style. This is popular for brides who want to have the whimsical and romantic look, while still supporting a style that fits their big day. Van Zee loves to incorporate a “polished textured look, soft around the face, with secure elastics holding it all night.”

Boho styles can compliment most necklines and dress styles. For more boho ideas, visit Top 7 Boho Wedding Hairstyles.

The classic Hollywood glam wave has a softer version these days. Van Zee says, “I have done several bridal trials with a traditional updo look. When the wedding day is here, the bride changes her mind and wants a down style that will last.”

Glam waves are both structured and have a polished, classic look. The curl pattern is meant to flow like waves, and tend to work best when the layers & length are past the shoulder, although hair extensions are always a great addition to incorporate. Glam waves look best on dresses with a low back, or a design with less bead work, which can tangle the hair.

Bridal experts say that although there are some modifications to trends, nothing compares to a style that is created to fit each individual in a personalized way. Visit our Global Directory and search for a bridal hairstylist near you to complete your special day.
