A sweet little braid like this one can make a big statement when you wrap it over your head like a crown or headband. The trick to getting this braided wedding hairstyle is to first curl your hair, then grab a few strands by your ear and loosely braid it, then bring it over top and pin it on the other side of your head. This look could work for any wedding day style, but would really stand out for a country rustic theme.

This creative braided updo is one of my new favorite finds that I would love to try for an every day look as well. When you dress it up with florals and pretty earrings it becomes the perfect braided wedding hairstyle that would look lovely for a beach wedding day.

I just love the way a braid can be transformed into so many styles and can look simple, yet chic and modern at the same time. This stunning bridal photo shoot has recreated the fairytale of Sleeping Beauty, which they have done perfectly because this beautiful bride looks like a princess who is ready to marry her prince. You can recreate your own fairytale with this braided wedding hairstyle of draping curls, soft florals, a side braid, and a side swept do that will turn you into the princess bride that has always been inside of you.

UPD:

Side swept braids are a beautiful and romantic look for a wedding day. This style is perfect for brides who want to add a touch of whimsy to their look. The side braid is created by taking strands of hair from one side of the head and braiding them into a loose, cascading pattern. The braid is then swept to the side and pinned in place. The rest of the hair is left to hang down in soft, natural curls. To further enhance the look, florals can be added to the braid and pinned in place.

The side swept braid is a versatile style that can be dressed up or down. It can be worn with a formal gown or a more casual bridesmaid dress. It is also a great option for brides who want to keep their hair out of their face as they walk down the aisle. The braid can also be styled with accessories such as a headband or a veil.

Brides and hairstylists are getting more creative each year, I love that my new favorite look of the braided updo can be created with a half updo as well! How much fun is it when a bride turns around and you see a completely different look from the back and how lucky is she to get two looks in one! By the way, I just discovered that this braided hairstyle is called the waterfall.

This is actually a Mediterranean-style inspired photo shoot, but who wouldn't love to look like this beach goddess as they walk down the aisle. This is your day so why not look your best and be a show stopper, go ahead you deserve it!

Braids have always been hippy and boho chic, it's the rest of us who are finally catching up with trend. I love the look of the teased ponytail that pulls together the two side braids for a look that is perfect for a boho wedding theme. I can see a bride with a flowy, vintage gown and a bouquet of wild flowers rocking this rustic braided wedding hairstyle.

Braided wedding hairstyles may be on trend right now, but they will never completely disappear. There will always be a rustic country bride with cowgirl boots who wants a braided wedding hairstyle to complete her theme or a flower child bride who can't get enough of the braided crown look. Braided wedding hairstyles can be elegant and sophisticated for a city wedding or simple and chic for a beach wedding; if you want that braided look there is sure to be a style that's perfect for your big day.
