21 Stylish Wedding Guest Hairstyles You Can Try

On the internet, there are plenty of hairstyles for brides, and we get it: it's their day, and they should look fabulous.

But sincerely, shouldn't we friends be considered too?

Figuring out what hairstyle to wear with the beautiful outfit we’ve chosen can be a dilemma. It's a task on its own, so there should be wedding guest hairstyles that can give us a hint of what will complement the dress and make us feel confident and beautiful during the ceremony. It’s like finding the finishing touch that brings the whole look together. You wouldn't want to go looking lackluster, would you? Of course not.

So, for your upcoming wedding event, whether as a relative or friend of the bride and groom, here are some wedding guest hairstyles that won’t distract eyes from the bride but will still make you look impressive and ready to celebrate. You can start with these and see what you think.

1. A Side Braid

Don't stress about looking for the perfect hairstyle when you can easily style a side braid.

Side braids are known for being simple and effortless, but this one we're suggesting combines elegance with playfulness, making it ideal for the occasion.

Pull your hair to the side and braid it. Do so after curling your hair and leaving out some strands to frame your face. Stunning!

2. Polished Low Bun

The polished low bun is a classic hairstyle for weddings. It's so easy to achieve with your tools by your side.

Here's how;

• Divide your hair at the center for a beautiful parting.
• Brush each side to the back and tie them together.
• Braid your hair, then roll it to form the bun. After that, you can add accessories to the bun or leave it.

3. Wavy Bob With Bangs

Have short hair? Here’s how to make it look outstanding for the ceremony: add waves and bangs!

Your hair can become the center of attention, as the waves make it stylish and captivating. Meaning, it wouldn’t be so ordinary. Plus, the curtain bangs gives off a charming vibe that anyone would appreciate.

Now that you know, curl your bob and finish it with a hairspray to keep those waves looking fresh throughout.

4. A Cropped Look

Let's not hear you missed out on slaying your hair when you could go all out with it. The cropped curls give you all that advantage, so go look romantic and stylish with this hairstyle. You can add a side part as Jodie Turner Smith did with hers.

5. Braided Ponytail

Take our word for it, this look is fabulous. A braided ponytail for the wedding guest? Count us in! It's the perfect hairstyle to dance away the night while still looking stunning and certainly gorgeous.

Add a cute bow to it to elevate it further and it's bound to draw a few glances.

6. Loose Waves

The easy loose waves style isn't behind when it comes to wedding guest hairstyles.

You'd be surprised how it can change everything, adding effortless elegance that complements any outfit. The waves will keep your hair flowing and frame your face beautifully. And let's be honest, it's a classy epic wedding style that makes you the most gorgeous attendee.

7. Ribboned Braid

An accessory can make all the difference. It makes your hairstyle look more romantic and sophisticated and gives it the right amount of flair. While we are recommending a ribbon for your braided ponytail, you could also use any accessory. And you'll see how it'll elevate the whole look.

8. Sleek Updo

This style can't make you feel drab, it's chic. And achieving it is easy.

Let's show you how:

• Part your hair from the nape of your neck up to the center where your updo will be. Since the back has such detailing, there's no need to section the front.
• Now, gently brush each part upwards. Be sure your hair doesn't cross from one side to the other.
• Tie your hair and pin the updo.

9. Curly Bun

Do you love an updo style? Try the curly bun for the wedding. If you have a stylish neckline, wearing this with your outfit will complement it.

It allows you to show off your dress, but it will still stand out as a gorgeous hairstyle. So, put your curls into a bun style and see how stunning you'll look.

10. Tight Sock Bun

Go for a tight sock bun style. To get the style, get a comb and slick your hair to the crown of your head. Make sure it's neat, ensuring no strands are out of place.

Tie the ponytail, then twist it to form a donut. You can twist the ponytail first, so it's tucked properly. This romantic hairstyle is fine on its own. However, you can add accessories to make it stand out more.

11. Long Box Braids

How perfect can it get? It's box braids and they leave a lasting impression. So, don’t be shocked when you look flattering and stylish for the wedding. They do stand out quite beautifully and can complement your outfit. Just do the braiding, then watch your hair do the talking.

12. Tightly Curled Updo

Curls? We've got you! The tightly curled updo is a stunning choice that adds volume and texture to your look. If you have curls, this is easy to achieve.

• Put your hair in a high ponytail.
• Leave out some ringlets and let them fall naturally around your face, then put the rest into a bun.

13. Loose and Low Ponytail

Its simplicity may make you want to reconsider, but the texture and curled strands that frame your face can provide the extra flair you desire. You could pair it with a nice accessory, such as a decorative hairpin or a floral clip, to elevate the look even more.

We know you're excited about your upcoming event, and this hairstyle won't be dull; it's sure to make a statement.

14. Natural ‘Do

Nothing complicated about this hairstyle. It has to be one of the simplest and most flattering looks you can wear. This hairstyle doesn't require much, but it's very chic and embrace your natural beauty.

15. Updo with Bangs

An updo with bangs is the perfect look for a wedding. It has a glamorous feel (the intricate updo paired with bangs) that creates something stunning and romantic. Plus, it looks good with any outfit of your choice. But it all depends on how you choose to style it.

16. Curly Updo with Tendrils

An updo with framing pieces, that's a combination you'll love. Just put your hair into an updo and leave some strands around your face. This is a style that doesn't miss. It'll give you ‘the’ look and suit the outfit of your choice.

Ready to style?

• Divide the center of your hair away from the rest.
• Put the rest into a ponytail and wrap it around.

That's all you need to do!

17. Deep Side Part

Not up for a middle part? Go for a romantic, deep-side part hairstyle. This side-part changes the whole look and makes your style look better (not that other partings are bad).

To get the parting, use a rattail comb to section your hair by the side. You can make it curvy if you like. This technique is to add sophistication to your overall hairstyle.

18. Sleek Knot

Not too much, not too little—just what you need for a chic, effortless, and incredible look. The sleek knot offers you exactly that.

Its sleek-back style keeps things interesting and the knot fashionable while putting your hair away. Just the hairstyle to make your appearance classy and with a beautiful dress, it will create a truly sophisticated ensemble.

19. Half-Up, Half-Down

This style is suitable for different events. All you need to do is divide your hair into two parts, separating the front from the back. Once you've sectioned that, put the front in a ponytail or bun. Now, let the back be free and your style is done.

20. Woven Top Knot

Rock the woven top knot style and be highly impressed with your look. This wedding wear is not only bold, it's super classy. And pulling your hair into a high-woven knot might just be the best decision you'll make. So, pull your hair up and once it's up, braid it before forming a knot and pinning it.

21. Straight Length

If you've thought straight length wouldn't work, well, that's entirely false. A sleek, straight hairstyle is perfect to keep you looking chic for the wedding.

Prepare your hairspray with a straighter, and they'll get the job done. If you'd like it fuller and lengthier, you can add extensions, too. That's all you need for an amazing result.
