Top Bridal Hairstyles For The Wedding Season

Here are the best bridal hairstyles that you should try this wedding season! 

1. Gajra Trail

This traditional South Indian style features a long, intricate braid or bun adorned with fresh gajra (strands of jasmine or other flowers). The "trail" refers to the floral garland cascading down the length of the braid or wrapping around a low bun. It is timeless, highly fragrant, and pairs beautifully with classic silks.

2. Slick Back Half Up Half Down

A chic, modern look perfect for pre-wedding functions like Sangeet or Reception. The hair at the crown is slicked back for a sleek, polished look, while the remaining lower section is left down in soft curls or waves. This style keeps hair off the face, showcases the jewellery, and offers contemporary glamour.

3. Lace Up Braids

An elaborate, textural style where a thick braid (like a French or Dutch braid) is interwoven with a ribbon, pearl string, or chain, giving a unique corset-like "laced-up" effect. This highly detailed look works best on long, voluminous hair and is often accessorised with flowers tucked into the braided loops.

4. Bubble Braid

This fun, youthful alternative to a traditional braid involves securing a ponytail with elastics at even intervals and then gently pulling/teasing the hair between each elastic to create a "bubble" or puffed-up effect. It is a trendy, voluminous, and lightweight option ideal for Mehendi or Haldi ceremonies.

5. Messy Ponytail

A favourite for modern brides seeking a textured, low-maintenance yet formal look for their reception or cocktail party. The hair is gathered into a high or low ponytail, but the crown is lightly teased for volume, and soft strands are left loose around the face. Curls add a romantic, tousled finish.
