Braids – Beautiful Bridal Updos
September 3, 2012
It has been impossible not to notice, and fall in ♥ with the Braid revival that has been occurring of late…..
The perfect alternative to the formal bridal updo braids are ideal for creating a little interest in long and loose hair, and for creating a relaxed boho bridal style, which would be beautiful for a beach babe……

Or a new take on the floral crown, how about a braided crown weaved with flowers…. could anything be more pretty?…..

Cute and a little bit retro braided bands frame the face and look fab with a fringe…..

Now who could forget how chic the Duchess of Cambridge looked at the London Olympic Gala with her ever perfectly coiffed hair in a chic braided updo, so glamorous and just right for a formal updo….

From formal finished updos, to fishtails and waterfalls, dutch braids and milkmaids, there are braids galore – something to suit everyone. And if you’re tempted to give this trend a try at home, fashion and bridal blogs are awash with DIY tutorials like these…..
They make it look so easy I might even have to try an alternative to my usual pony tail!
Don’t panic if you have short hair, Braided Updos are possible for hair shoulder length and longer – this DIY ‘Hot Cross Bun’ from The Beauty Department is for shorter hair….
Which is your favourite style? Are you going to be a braided babe for your big day?

I’ve always loved braids… ever since I was a girl trying to compete with my girl cousins who could braid the fastest! The games we played.
Beautiful updos!! Loving these
Thanks Chrissy! I agree, long may the braids revival continue

Thank you so much for the shout out for short hair braids. I chopped my hair off in April and the man proposed in July we set the date for November… Love braids but haven’t seen anything I could pull off for our beach nuptials. Pretty!

Hi,
At the top of your post there’s a man in the ‘Long Loose Braid’ picture… can you find out where that blazer/coat is from? Love the shorties braid at the bottom. I’m going to the salon in a few days to try it out for my final dress fitting as a “hopeful” hairdo! Thank you so much. <3 Love Your Site!!

Hi Stephanie,
All the Men’s clothing from that shoot came from a Tweed Mans Vintage in the UK.
