Braids certainly have their advantages when it comes to bridal hairstyles – they provide lots of little areas to tuck pretty combs or flowers into, keep your hair out of your eyes, and evoke a bit of that fairytale princess vibe. But you don’t have to have long hair to create a beautiful bridal braid. A few of these styles can be adapted for shoulder-length hair. From chic and elegant, to tousled and bohemian, French, fishtail, and Dutch, we know you’ll be inspired by these braided beauties!
