6. The half-up bun
This simple style looks gorgeous in its most basic form, but it’s especially pretty with loose curls at the bottom of the hair and a light, simple flower crown framing the face.(Source: Etsy Bridal Beauty)
7. The hair bow
A sleek hair bow turns your hair into a decorative piece on its own, rather than a style that needs further decoration. It’s also very easy to do!(Source: 100 Layer Cake)
8. The romantic fishtail braid
A voluminous fishtail braid looks whimsical and detailed, like something a Disney princess might wear! Pull the loops of the braid out slightly to loosen it up stylishly.(Source: E-Beauty Blog)
9. The waterfall braid
Waterfall braids look especially detailed in wavy hair. Placing the braid just under the crown of the head makes it look especially nice when your veil is pinned on at the back.(Source: Twist Me Pretty)
10. The looped fishtail
Fishtails are already a beautiful style on their own, but they’re especially pretty and detailed looking when they’re looped upwards to contrast against smooth, pulled back hair.(Source: Gina Michele)

14. The sleek rolled tuck
Particularly if you create a couple of cute pin curls on top for detail, this sleek, tucked under bun looks demure and classic without coming off as plain.(Source: Makeup.com)
15. The twist and pin
This style is similar in appearance to the cinnamon roll style from above, but for straighter, finer hair! Rather than relying on natural volume and texture, you can create the shape by twisting the hair into shape.(Source: Hair Romance)
