Before choosing any type of wedding hairstyle, there are some factors to consider. First, the type of hair, as there are hairstyles that favor some more than others. Secondly, the guest's look. If it is a romantic look, braids are your best ally. However, for a sophisticated look, a simple wedding chignon is better. Lastly, the neckline of your dress, as some hairstyles are more suited to one type of neckline than others.

This may seem like a simple everyday hairstyle, but the truth is that wedding ponytails can look very chic depending on how you do them. A first option is to make a very polished low ponytail with loose strands in the front. This updo does not require a lot of time and will look elegant.

 

 

On the other hand, you can add many variations to a low ponytail. For example, change the middle parting for a side parting, make a low ponytail with waves, decorate with brooches, bows or flowers, etc.

In addition, you can vary and make a high wedding ponytail by adding volume. In this way, it will be very fixed but tousled and natural.

 

The bubble ponytail is also one of our favorite guest hairstyles. It consists of making a normal ponytail and tying rubber bands along it to make bubbles of volume.

Half updos for weddings with braids are always a wild card. You can choose between a normal braid or this fishtail in the photo. It is a simple wedding guest hairstyle that can be perfectly done at home.

 

 

5. Wedding hairstyles with waves

Finally, if you are tired of straight hair, there are many wedding hairstyles with waves. For example, loose hair with water waves or surfer waves will be perfect for a mid-length or long hair. The former are a bit more pronounced than the latter, which are more natural and add movement and are perfect to counteract an overdone style.

In the same way, waves can also be included in ponytails. As mentioned before, waves in a low or high ponytail will add the perfect touch to your hairstyle.

A tip for a perfect wedding wave hairstyle is to fix them with hairspray after making them. This way, they will hold all day without the need to touch them up.
