Wedding Hairstyles for Short Hair

Many bridal magazines and advertisements feature long, flowing locks. But short hair is in, and the daily convenience of a short hairdo can’t be beat. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to spruce up a short bridal hairstyle! Check out these ideas for short hair wedding looks.

How to Style Short Hair

When it comes to the bride’s wedding look, it’s all about the dress, hair, and makeup. Brides with short hair might be concerned about limited options for their wedding day style, but this isn’t the case at all! If you need some inspiration with what to do with your short locks, you’ve come to the right place. Even with short hair, there are plenty of gorgeous hairstyles that will make you feel your very best. 

Easy Updos for Short Hair

Although updos are usually associated with long hair, it’s very possible to create a stunning updo for brides with short hair! Updos for short hair do require a specific technique, and you may need a lot of pins to keep everything in place. However, pins give you another avenue to accessorize and add another impressive element to your outfit. 

For a fantastic updo, you’ll want to find a professional who can help you discover the best look for you. Start thinking about your wedding beauty timeline early. While tasks like booking your venue and making your guest list come first, finding a hair stylist comes earlier than you think! We recommended booking initial appointments anywhere from four to six months before the day of your wedding.

Hairstyles with Curls

Curls and waves are a method to bring more volume to your hair and look amazing. A wavy hairstyle fits into the theme of a lovely beach wedding. Curls work with other short hairstyles, for example, bring your pixie cut to the next level by adding some curls. Depending on your personal tastes, you can have tight curls or loose ones for your wedding hairstyle. With an updo, a few loose curls add more texture. 

Many brides like the vintage look, and curls are one of many ways to achieve this. Large or chunky curls are old-school. Another option for a vintage style is pin curls. For the bride who loves films, consider curls that mimic those from the Hollywood era. 

Simple Wedding Hairstyles 

There are a variety of simple wedding hairstyles that will still steal the show. While curls are a basic yet gorgeous hairstyle, think about sleek looks like a basic bob or clean-cut bangs. However, keep in mind that you might change your mind about the bangs! If you do want to change your hair up and try bangs for the wedding, leave enough time to grow your bangs out in case you decide against them. You can also schedule a trim to maintain your bangs, but they won’t grow out overnight. 

You can also embrace your short hair and own your style with a bob or pixie cut. These classic styles will look fantastic. Dress up the look with an exquisite veil. If you already have your eye on an extravagant veil or tiara, keeping your hairstyle simple and straightforward might be the choice that suits you.

If you don’t want an intricate hairstyle but want a significant change, another option is to dye your hair. Highlights can go a long way in changing your style and making your wedding hairstyle something memorable. 

Braids and Buns with Short Hair

If you think braids and buns only work with long hair, think again! It’s totally possible to have a delicate braid or loose bun for your wedding hairstyle. Of course, the braid or bun will be smaller, but you’ll still achieve an elegant look. One bonus is that buns and braids will keep hair out of your face while dancing during the reception. Plus, you can let everyone see your beautiful makeup.

Decided to go the route of braids? Think about whether you want a thin and fine braid or a thick and chunky one. Even with short hair, you have plenty of options with what style of braid you pick. Yes, you can make a lovely French braid or fishtail braid with short hair. Alternatively, ask your stylist to create a braid crown fit for royalty.

There’s also room for flexibility when it comes to buns as well. Often, short hair works great with a low bun. A messy low bun is fitting more a rustic or more casual look. On the other hand, you can dress up a bun with accessories, like hair pins or clips. Whether you’re searching for a simple and polished look or an extravagant style, a bun is a great hairstyle to consider for your wedding. 

Can’t decide between a bun or a braid? Why not both? When you meet with your stylist, see if it’s possible to have a braided bun. This style combines the best of both worlds, and this look brings something extra special to your wedding day. 

Hair Accessories for Short Hair

To add an extra special touch to your wedding hairstyle, find some hair accessories. From headbands to tiaras and hair clips, there’s something for every bride’s personal fashion tastes. Hair accessories are a nice option for brides who prefer to do less with styling but still want to achieve an elegant and more unique look for their special day. These can be combined with other hairstyles, so you’re not committed to solely a flower crown or hair pins. Use hair accessories as an opportunity to enhance your wedding hairstyle. Add some gold clips to your wavy locks or weave some flowers into your braid.

Flower Crowns

If you’re looking for a way to add some Disney and fairytale magic to your wedding, this is it. Flower crowns are beautiful and will bring a whimsical touch to your outfit. Plus, they’ll match a flowing white dress, or you can match a flower crown with a non-traditional wedding dress.

For the flower crown route, both fresh and faux flowers work well, and each has benefits and downsides. Fresh flowers look lovely, but they can be difficult to maintain throughout the day. While some faux flowers may not look realistic, high-quality faux flowers will be just as pretty in your hair. With a faux flower crown, you’ll be able to keep it as a reminder of your wedding day. 

Whether you choose fresh or faux flowers, a crown is still a fabulous option for short hair. It’s simple and basic in terms of styling, so you can keep your hair more natural while bringing a twist to make your wedding day hair more memorable.

Statement Pieces

Hair accessories can make a bold statement. Choose a glittering tiara and pair it with a delicate, flowing veil or decorate your hair with clips and pins. For short hair, bridal combs are a viable option. These types of statement pieces come in all colors and styles. The most common colors are gold and silver, which often match white wedding dresses. Plenty of hair accessories have jewels, so make it personal by finding one with your birthstone or favorite gemstone. 

Final Thoughts on Short Wedding Hairdos

From buns and braids to bobs and updos, there are endless options on how to style your short hair for your wedding ceremony and reception. Your wedding day is a chance for you to show off your personal style and flair while celebrating a special moment with your friends and family. Stay true to what you love and let your personality shine when choosing the perfect hairstyle!
