Who doesn’t love a bridal braid? They’re versatile, add texture to your style, and work with any hair type and length. Whether you’re wearing your hair up, down, or half up half down, a braid adds a romantic touch that takes your style to the next level.
For updos alone, bridal stylists continue to create an infinite variety of looks, from chunky milkmaid braids to tiny plaits tucked into a bun or ponytail, not to mention reworking classics like French plaits or boho favourite fishtail braids. Plaits are pretty, whimsical, and will never go out of fashion! So why not consider adding one to your big day look? Here we’ve rounded up 10 fresh and fabulous hair creations by the very talented Make Me Bridal Pro artists.
