Good morning lovelies! Well the end of another week can mean but one thing, other than its the weekend!, time for another Snippets, Whispers & Ribbons. With almost endless possibilities for your bridal coif I thought I would help you decide the one for you by rounding up 25 of the most beautiful and romantic bridal updos perfect for a modern-vintage loving bride. These are elegant and timeless, soft and romantic updos, and with 5 key looks I am sure you will find something to suit you, whatever your wedding day style…..

1. Romantic Rolls

I am starting with my personal fave. Updos with a romantic roll have a touch of Edwardian elegance, but are completely timeless. And I LOVE how they look with a crown – either floral for a more relaxed bohemian look, or glitzy for some olde world grandeur, both are utterly gorgeous!….

2. Beautiful Braids

With almost endless methods, finishes and possibilities, all of which create very different looks, braids are the perfect way to add a little texture and softness to any updo. Versatile enough to look utterly modern or charmingly vintage, rustic or elegant, braided updos look exquisite finished off with a beautiful hair comb…..

3. Long & Loose

But if an updo isn’t for you, don’t despair, because long and loose locks can just as easily be styled to vintage perfection for your big day. Evoke the glamour of a 1940s screen siren with some victory rolls, pin curls or a sultry peek-a-boo sweeping side parting like Veronica Lake…..

Or choose something more bohemian beauty than screen siren…..

4. Breathtaking Buns

The chic and sophisticated bun is a enduringly elegant updo that is always in fashion. Versatile, and super sweet there’s a bun perfect for every bride – from the sleek ballerina bun, to a floral adorned bohemian bun, to a braided beauty, to a bow bun!…..

5. A Bit of a Beehive

Up the volume and tease your coif into a bit of a swanky beehive for a timeless updo with a retro vibe. Keep it sleek and chic with a chignon or add some texture for a more relaxed look…..
