Bridal Style: Top Beach Wedding Hairstyles

Beach weddings are hard to beat. From the laid back vibes to the magnificent soundtrack of wind and surf as you walk down the aisle and tie the knot, followed up with sunset photographs and a beach party, there’s really nothing quite like it.
But a beach wedding means a whole lot of planning decisions are made for you. It’s a no to the stiletto heels, I’m afraid, and unless you want a sandy, salty, damp hem, you probably won’t go for the floor length gown either.
But when it comes to your wedding hairstyle, you’ve still got plenty of options. It is worth thinking carefully about, of course – a day of sun, salt, and sand means certain ‘dos are probably worth avoiding – but there are a whole bunch of wedding hairstyles that are perfectly suited to the beach, both in look and in practicality.

So if you are cruising to the Mexican Riviera to say your vows at Punta Mita, or just packing your bags and heading off to Miami Beach for a sun-drenched Florida wedding, here are some of the best hairstyles to make your beach wedding perfect.

Beachy waves

Tousled, soft curls are the ultimate beach look, and absolutely perfect for a boho bride. With gorgeous texture and soft lowlights, they look awesome in sunset photos too.

A low ponytail

Beach vibes are casual vibes, and a beach wedding is the ultimate combo of relaxed style, elegance, and minimalism. Combining a sophisticated gown with a low ponytail is a magnificently minimal look for a chilled-out beach bride.

A statement bun

A tight, elegant bun is great for keeping your hair under control in the ocean breeze, as well as keeping hair off your neck in the heat of the day.

A flower crown

Floral crowns are the perfect accessory for beach wedding hairstyles. Just gather your hair up in a relaxed do, and pop a garland of flowers on top. It is a wonderful no-fuss way to look incredible on your wedding day.
