Make Me Bridal Pro: Makeup by Katy
You know the story: girl falls in love, girl gets engaged, girl starts growing out her hair. Even if a bride-to-be rocks a bob hairstyle like nobody else in everyday life, there’s this long-standing myth that you have to either grow your hair or get extensions to have a wedding-worthy do.
But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
A bob or lob is not only very flattering – allowing you to show off your face, neck, dress and jewellery – it’s also much more versatile than you may realise. A bob haircut can be styled in various ways to suit different bridal looks, such as wavy ends, bangs, and updos, offering numerous stylish possibilities for your big day.
10 Bob Bridal Hairstyles For Your Wedding Day
Whether you opt for sleek and straight, retro Hollywood waves, tousled waves, or a slicked-back do a la Kourtney Kardashian, there’s a bob bridal hairstyle to enhance your overall bridal look. Add in any number of accessory options like florals, pins, headbands, and veils, and your options are endless.
And here is some gorgeous inspiration from the Make Me Bridal pros to prove it!

Sleek Bridal Bob with Veil
A sleek chin-length bob looks classic and chic, especially pulled back into a classic long veil. A flower crown can add a romantic touch to the sleek bridal bob with a veil. The veil, together with a beautiful pearl clip and statement earrings elevate the look from everyday chic to something super stylish and special.

Bob with Bridal Hair Accessories
When it comes to bridal hair accessories, you don’t have to limit yourself to clips and pins. A proper bow barrette can add an edgy yet elegant touch to a bridal bob hairstyle. A hat is a great accessory for a boho or festival bride, and perfectly tops a wispy wavy bob that is relaxed enough to look lovely if you take the hat off later on.

Beachy Bob with Side Parting
A parting bob hairstyle with tousled beachy waves on lob-length hair looks effortlessly cool, with the perfect amount of volume and gloss to make the look really memorable. No accessories needed!

20's Style Bob with Fringe
Polished perfection! This super sleek roaring ‘20s-style bob with heavy fringe is guaranteed to turn heads! Pair it with fresh yet impactful makeup for a stunning bridal look. Especially when combined with stunning statement bridal makeup and perfect skin.

Boho Braided Bob Wedding Hairstyles
You can’t go wrong with a half up half down ‘do and a boho braid. With soft curls in short hair, such as a lob-length bob, it looks just as good as a similar style in long locks – maybe even better! This is a great way to add detail and texture while also keeping your hair off your face.

Bridal Bob with Tousled Ends
For a style that looks relaxed and effortless with a bit of a romantic boho vibe, opt for just a hint of a wave and soft, tousled ends. The tousled ends of the bridal bob perfectly complement a lace dress, enhancing the vintage or romantic aesthetic. It perfectly complements the simple lines of this bride’s dress as well as her large, hand-tied bouquet.

Naturally Curly Bob Bridal Hair
On your big day, why not rock your natural coils and curls. It’s all about creating texture and shape, and finding exactly the right length to really show off your features. You can dress this up with a flower or sparkly accessory, but it also looks great unadorned.

Vintage Bob Hairstyle with Earrings and Accessories
All the vintage vibes! This vintage style has the glamour of a bygone era and the earrings and sparkly clip make it totally wedding-worthy. Finish it off by having your makeup artist add black liner and a red lip, and you’ll be ready to walk down the aisle (or the red carpet!).

Bridal Bob with Glam Side Parting
Both a centre parting and a side parting work well with bob hairstyles, but a side parting immediately adds some drama, especially if you’re going for a glam look. Accentuate the style by clipping loose curls behind your ear with a pretty clip.
Whichever of these styles you love, the best thing is to work with a professional bridal hairstylist who will ensure that you get the look you want and that it lasts throughout your wedding day.
