A wedding say updo doesn't have to be so basic. Here are 12 gorgeous ideas for bridal hairstyles that think outside the bun.
Braided Bun
Lily Collins wore this princessy braided bun to this year's Golden Globe awards.
Half-Pinned
If you can't decide between wearing your hair up or down—do both, like Diane Kriger's twisted and textured half-up style at the recent Cannes Film Festival.
Rolled Up
Stella Maxwell's rolled pompadour is the perfect modern upgrade for a vintage-obsessed bride.
Weaved Jewels
Jennifer Lawrence's braided bun with three whole headbands weaved throughout.
Casual Knot
Accentuate the clean and graphic lines of a structured wedding dress with a high bun and loose ends.
Star Bursts
Don't settle for just one hair accessory. A sparkly pin looks so much cooler when done in excess.
Black Magic
At the Marchesa spring 2018 bridal show, models wore black ribbons tied around wavy ponytails.
Texture Play
Brie Larson's fuzzy chignon is the perfect way to embrace your natural curl texture.
Scattered Pearls
Skip the pearl jewelry and wear them in your hair, instead. Giant pearl pins look best when done in several sizes and scattered in a random fashion.
The New Twist
Emily Ratajkowski wore a classic French twist on the Cannes red carpet, accentuating the retro style even more with some clip-in bangs.
Low Roll
Emma Stone's rolled-up updo can easily be unpinned and let loose into voluminous waves for the wedding afterparty.
