From boho braids to soft chignons: bespoke hairstyles and beauty routines to shine on your special day
Braids and Chignons: Timeless Elegance in Bridal Looks
The stars of today's bridal look
This year, bridal hairstyles follow a clear thread: sophistication with a touch of practicality. The real stars?
Braids and chignons: two timeless classics returning with a contemporary twist, perfect for enhancing every style, from a minimalist gown to a princess dress.
The elegance of “messy” braids for the modern bride
Let’s start with braids, which are moving away from an overly structured look to become softer and more romantic.
The most popular styles this season are side braids, enhanced with loose strands and delicate accessories: fresh flowers, pearls or gold hair clips.
A boho touch that is increasingly popular with brides who want to feel natural, yet polished in every detail.
Fishtail or “messy” braids, loosely gathered at the nape, are perfect for outdoor ceremonies or country-chic weddings.
The modern chignon: an elegant updo with a natural look
The chignon, on the other hand, remains an undisputed symbol of elegance.
This year, it is worn high, never too tight, with soft strands framing the face. The most popular styles?
The braided chignon, which combines the classic look of an updo with the texture of a braid, and the “soft bun,” an intentionally imperfect updo that creates movement and a natural look.
Ideal for both straight and slightly wavy hair.
What makes all the difference is personalisation, always a top priority in the salon, because brides want bespoke hairstyles, quite literally tailored like a dress to suit their face and the mood of their wedding.
Just like the dress, a bride’s beauty should be tailored to fit.
When thinking about the bridal look, the hairstyle plays a fundamental role, but it is not the only detail to consider. Shiny hair and glowing skin don’t happen by chance: they call for a targeted beauty routine, including bespoke treatments (link to article on wedding preparation/treatments) started well in advance.
