Messy Updo

Try a messy updo hairstyle for a casual wedding. Select a "messy" updo for a beach wedding or a garden wedding. Begin by setting hair in large rollers to add volume and waves to the hair. Take out the rollers and pin the hair back a small section at a time. Keep the style loose, leaving a few strands of hair out to frame the face. The slight wave in the hair creates a romantic, less structured look. Add a veil, comb or flower blooms if desired.
Bouffant
-
A vintage-inspired bouffant creates a dramatic wedding hairstyle. Add drama by opting for a bouffant updo. A bouffant is a style where the front of your hair is teased into a raised pouf, also known as the bouffant, and then pulled back and pinned into a bun or other updo style. Since this style is dramatic on its own, consider omitting flowers or clips. Make a sleek bouffant with all hair pulled away from the face or leave a few strands of hair out to frame the face for a softer effect.
