20 Trending Messy Wedding Updo Hairstyles You’ll Love

Messy wedding buns are all the rage. While elaborate hairstyles can sometimes feel too “bridal” or formal, messy hairstyles can feel modern, sophisticated and infinitely more stylish.

Messy wedding hairstyles are, by nature, relaxed in form, but that doesn’t mean they lack formal elegance. These relaxed hairstyles embody bohemian charm with a touch of romance and whimsy. Loose buns, messy curls and soft waves around the face can perfectly frame the cheekbones, jawline and catch the eye in the simplest of ways.

To ensure you have the right hair style for you, we recommend that you organize one or two hair trials before your wedding to ensure your stylist is able to capture your favorite hairstyle. Sometimes it may take some time to find the perfect messy hairstyle for you.

We’ve picked out 20 messy wedding hairstyles you’ll love below.
