It won’t get stuck on your lip gloss, entangled in earrings or covered in cake; the updo is hands down the most practical hair style for brides. With an extensive artillery of hair dressing accessories, there’s no limit to the elaborate updos a professional wedding hair stylist can create for your big day. Here are 10 worth attempting:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Audrey Hepburn<\/strong>
\nImitation is the greatest form of flattery, so you can be forgiven for replicating the iconic Audrey Hepburn 1960s updo. She’s the epitome of elegance, grace and style; the perfect recipe for wedding pics that will still look good another 50 years from now.<\/p>\n\n

2. Vintage
\n<\/strong>Super straight or wispy thin hair is unlikely to hold voluptuous vintage curls without a few kilos of spray and some nifty pinning. It’s best to have a dress rehearsal with this one to avoid a bridezilla episode hours out from the big event.<\/p>\n

3. Cotton candy
\n<\/strong>Add some pastel peppermint and strawberry to your retro mop top and what have you got? A fun, thematic updo to match your candy coloured party decorations!<\/p>\n

4. Bed hair
\n<\/strong>Intentionally messy will work for some people. Others will feel – and look – like they’ve just stepped off the set of Twister. Proceed with caution.<\/p>\n

5. Crown braid<\/strong>
\nIf it’s as straightforward as the tutorials suggest, all you need is just two braids and you’re good to go! Sweet, simple and easy to decorate with small floral highlights such as Baby’s Breath or Chamelaucium.<\/p>\n

6. Ballerina bun
\n<\/strong>Small forehead? Bangs will also work with this updo. Thin hair? A doughnut will give the illusion of long, thick, lustrous locks. It’s slick, it’s tame, and it will not detract from the delicate details of your dress.<\/p>\n

7. Hair bow<\/strong>
\nIf it’s too cutesy for you and the bridal party, save this one for the flower girl.<\/p>\n

8. Infinity twist
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This twist is a standalone statement – no millinery accessories required. It’s hard to say where it starts and ends; symbolic of an eternal marriage, perhaps?<\/p>\n

9. Flower power<\/strong>
\nYou’ll need some length for this one, and a few thousand bobby pins by the looks of it. It’s a complex work of hairdressing art; let the complexity do the talking and don’t overwhelm it with unnecessary accessories.<\/p>\n

10. Double bun<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why stop at one bun when you can have two? This double-bunned beauty makes for interesting pics no matter which angle you’re snapped from. There would appear to be some doughnut action at play here, so slight-haired brides can attempt with tools.<\/p>\n
