From your personalized, heartfelt vows to that emotional first dance, there will be no shortage of romantic moments on your big day—in fact, it just might be one of the most love-centric days of your life. That's why brides often incorporate romantic elements into everything from the wedding décor (think overflowing floral centerpieces and lush fabrics) to their dresses (ruffles, anyone?), accessories (like sentimental heirlooms passed down through generations), and big-day glam. When it comes to the latter, we think brides should pay particular attention to their hair: After all, romantic wedding hairstyles are an easy way to achieve that effortless bridal charm so many women of the hour strive for.
Whether it's tousled, touchable waves that get better as the night goes on, a swoon-worthy, wispy updo, or a low bun with dainty floral or pearl embellishments, romantic wedding hairstyles can be created in a myriad of ways. Want to show off your shoulders? Try a romantic style with your strapless wedding dress by opting for a messy updo with face-framing tendrils. Throwing a boho bash? Tuck bits of floral and foliage into your lush curls for some more romantic vibes. With a ton of ways to incorporate some romantic elements into a wedding hairstyle, there's a look out there for every personal style, theme, and wedding dress.
