The wedding braid is a hairstyle that has always attracted the attention of brides with long hair. Many girls who want to create a gentle and light look for a wedding choose a light dress without a full skirt, additional circles and a voluminous veil.
The fitted silhouette of the outfit and a long simple veil are best combined with a simple elegant hairstyle, for example, a braid. We tell you exactly how to braid your hair, what accessories to complement your hairstyle and where to put your bangs.
Wedding hairstyles with braids: types, features, nuances
Wedding hairstyles with braids can be divided into three categories:
- classic braid,
- braid as a secondary element;
- loose hair with braiding.
These wedding hairstyles with braids are suitable for medium to long hair. They go harmoniously with most styles of dresses and accessories.
When choosing a hairstyle, brides need to take into account some nuances and recommendations:
- A regular braid loses its beautiful appearance faster than a bun, so it’s better to add braiding to your hairstyle rather than making it the main element of your look.
- Two spikelets are a beautiful and popular hairstyle, but completely unsuitable for a wedding celebration.
- A small spikelet is a great way to remove bangs if you managed to grow them at least a little for the holiday.
Fish tail
Straight long strands are ideal for fishtail braiding. You can do this hairstyle on wavy hair, but on straight hair it looks perfect.
To highlight the beauty of your hairstyle, you can pre-highlight it. The technique of creating such weaving on long strands is not particularly difficult and looks like this:
- Carefully combed curls should be divided into two equal parts. If the braid needs to be neat, this is achieved with the help of a comb. If slight negligence is acceptable, the hair is separated by hand.
- At the outer edge of the left part, separate a small strand and lay it over the left part, and then pass it under the right part.
- A similar procedure must be performed with the right side.
- Repeat such alternations until all the hair is braided.
The thinner the strands you separate, the more beautiful the end result will be. True, this will take more time, but you shouldn’t save on it. The fishtail should not be braided too tightly - the whole beauty of this weaving lies in its slight carelessness. This braid goes well with a wreath of fresh flowers.

Regular braid
A timeless classic - a half-down braid for a wedding. This hairstyle has both disadvantages and advantages. For example, she looks very gentle and harmonious in the photo, but during the banquet she quickly loses her neat appearance and it seems that the bride came to her own wedding without her hair.
Switch
You can correct the situation with a regular braid by choosing a hairstyle with a secret. Today, the “faux braid” hairstyle is popular. It is created without weaving. The master connects each new strand with the previous small elastic band. It turns out to be a cute voluminous braid for a wedding, especially if you put it together from curls.
Greek style
The “Greek-style braid” hairstyle involves the presence of a wreath or headband on the bride’s head. It is preferable to choose gold-colored jewelry.
The peculiarity of the hairstyle in the Greek style is that the weaving begins not from the top, but from the temporo-lateral zones. The master connects these strands at the beginning, creating a semicircle, and then weaves a French braid or fishtail.
Spikelet
A French braid for a wedding is a good idea that will never lose its relevance. Many masters today do not just weave a spikelet for brides, but combine it with other elements of the hairstyle. One of the most popular ideas is a spikelet and a bunch. You can also braid just the bangs, combine or combine the spikelet with the tail.
Small spikelets at the temple
A wedding hairstyle with braids can be not only beautiful, but also useful. For example, to remove overgrown or straight bangs, you can braid small spikelets around your face. The remaining part of the hair is curled into curls, collected in a bun or ponytail. You can complement the look with a veil and hairpins. A tiara will also work. With its help you can create a gentle romantic image.
On the side
Side braid is a chic wedding hairstyle for long hair. It is recommended to pre-curl your hair to make your hair look voluminous and full. The bangs can be pinned back, creating volume on the parietal area, or also laid on the side. The main thing is that both the bangs and the braid lie on the same side.
Waterfall hairstyle
Easy and familiar to everyone from childhood, the “waterfall” hairstyle is suitable not only for schoolgirls, but also for brides. To braid it, you must first prepare your hair - create curls and root volume. Then the spikelet is woven with gaps: one part without grabs.
Half down hair with braid
Another option for a wedding hairstyle for loose hair is “malvinka”. To make it look cute, it is complemented with weaving. Two braids are connected at the back, or attached as a headband. The result is a wedding hairstyle with a braid in a rustic or country style, which are one of the most fashionable for 2021.
Hippie style
For an unusual wedding, you need unusual styling. If the celebration is organized in hippie style, the bride needs to choose the appropriate image. This usually involves a satin skirt and lace top instead of a traditional dress. Comfortable beige sandals are on your feet.
A wedding hairstyle in this style must have braids. You can braid several small braids in a chaotic manner. Complete the look with feathers and metal jewelry.
Braided hairstyle
You don’t have to wear a French or voluminous braid for a wedding. You can only add spikelets to a ready-made hairstyle, or rather an assembled frame. Some people choose a spikelet on the side, others ask the master to braid the strands in the center of the head, and still others want to create an imitation of a headband using braids.
Spikelet "basket"
This idea will appeal to those young ladies who love neat hairstyles. One part of the hair is collected in a bun at the top of the head, the other part remains free. We begin to weave a braid, and one by one add strands from the bun and from the free part of the hair. Thus, the result is a very beautiful hairstyle, reminiscent of a “basket” in its appearance, which was the basis for choosing the name.
