1. Elegant Low Bun
With an elegant dress, you need an elegant hairstyle. Low bun combined with simple discreet braids is one of the solutions for your big day. Choose three smaller flower buns, instead of one big low bun to achieve the elegance and uniqueness of your style. Decorate it with pearls, beads, or small flowers, or simply let your hair be your decoration.
2. Side-Braided Updo
Curly hair is not always easy to style, especially if you want an updo. If you struggle with your curls, and still want to have a loose, but stylish updo, braid a braid on one side and end it in a loose low bun to both show your curls and still make your hair look clean and elegant.
3. Curly High Bun
Here is another idea for curly hair. Pull your hair up loosely enough, and let your curls form their own path into a bun. Fasten the bun with few hairpins to give it some firmness and form to avoid getting a ponytail instead. Let some locks down to get an even more elegant and stylish look. Decorate it with an elegant hairpiece to complete the look.
4. Elegant High Bun
Sometimes putting your hair up high can make you look taller and more elegant. This high bun is one of those ideas to make you look great and tall on your wedding day. Loosely pulled up, showing every layer of your hair perfectly styled in a bun, decorated with a very elegant headpiece and combined with the perfect makeup will make you look stunning on your big day.
5. Messy Beads
This is one of the most classic bridal hairstyles, but it is still popular and elegant. This seemingly messy style is actually perfectly styled and combined to make you look stunning. Decoration with beads and pearls brings the elegance it needs to make you the most stunning bride you have ever seen.
6. Two-Strain Braided Low Bun
If you love braids, but would still prefer something different for your wedding day, think about the possibility of getting different braids. This idea will show you how to combine two-stringed braids into an elegant low bun. It will completely combine your biggest desires and give you the elegance and style you need.
7. Crown Braid Low Bun
Create a crown braid at the front of your hair and continue with a loose braid on the side. Make a loose braid on the other side of your hair and combine them together in a low bun decorated with natural flowers. It is unusual, cool, and stylish. It perfectly fits a farm wedding, but it is also great for any type of outdoor wedding style.
8. Beaded Umbrella Bun
Who said that umbrella bun is only for a casual style? This idea perfectly shows that if properly styled and decorated it is perfect for any occasion, even weddings. Decorate it with pears or flowers, add a veil underneath and enjoy the elegance this style brings to your big day.
9. Braid Turned Into a Bun
An ordinary ballerina bun can be boring for a wedding. But if you give it a twist with a braid, it will become a completely new and elegant style. Pull your hair in a ponytail, braid the ponytail in a simple braid, and twist it in a bun. Secure it with hairpins and decorate it with a lovely sparkling hairpiece.
10. Asian/Indian Bun
This Asian or Indian bridal hairstyle is popular in many corners of the world. It looks messy, but it is still stylish and elegant. Decorated with a simple bridal hairband, or a discrete hairpiece, it will emphasize the bun and give it even more elegance to complete the overall bridal look.
11. Messy Wedding Bun
This bun is called messy, but it is all but messy. It is perfectly styled to suit a bride, and still not make her feed stiffen and rigid. Decorate it with tiny flowers to accentuate the look or an elegant headband and veil below the bun.

14. Soft and Romantic
This is the most romantic look of a soft bun for your wedding day. Your hair pulled loosely up, as usual, your bun soft and not messy, and a gorgeous headpiece to complete the elegance. Let some locks down to get an even softer look if you wish, and you are all set! Enjoy your big day!
