Not sure what to do with your hair for your wedding day? There are literally hundreds of different elegant hairstyles you can create with braiding. I’ve picked 17 here that I think are beautiful, romantic, and easy to accomplish (maybe with the help of a friend). They’re also stylish for an outdoor wedding, whether you’ll be having a rustic soiree, or a formal garden affair. It helps if you have long hair for many of these looks, but there are a few you can pull off with shorter locks as well. And some you could create with the discrete use of extensions (Amanda Seyfried’s sleek braid bun for example). Any type of braid in your hair will also help to hold little flowers you may wish to tuck in. Have fun braiding!
