Wedding Hairstyles

Wedding hairstyles have to look right in photos you will keep for years, so it helps to see them on your own face first. Upload a selfie and try a sleek bun, long waves, braids, a slick back or a side part on your photo, then take the preview to your stylist or barber.

Planning Wedding Hairstyles

  • Preview early: try a few styles weeks ahead, so you have time to grow, cut or colour.
  • Book a trial: many stylists offer a trial run; bring the preview so you start from a shared picture.
  • Think about the dress or suit: high necklines often suit updos; open necklines suit hair worn down.
  • Weather and venue: waves can drop in humidity and wind; a bun or slick back holds better outdoors.

What the Preview Can and Can’t Show

The presets show the hairstyle only. There are no veils, flowers, hair accessories or elaborate braided updos, and the preview does not change your outfit or makeup.

Use it to decide the overall direction, such as up or down, sleek or soft, and leave the details to your stylist.

Grooms and Guests

For grooms and male guests, classic combed styles photograph cleanly: a side part, comb over or slick back. A pompadour adds height for a more styled look, and a neat man bun suits longer hair.

Book the haircut about a week before the wedding, so the edges are fresh but the cut has had a few days to settle.

Comfort on a Long Day

A tight bun or braids worn for many hours can cause tension and headaches. The American Academy of Dermatology notes that tightly pulled styles, worn often, can damage hair; ask your stylist to secure the style firmly without pulling at the hairline.

The preview redraws the style on your photo; it does not measure your hair. How a cut behaves in real life depends on your own density, texture and growth, so use the preview to judge the shape on your face and your stylist to judge whether your hair can hold it.

Wedding Hairstyles: FAQs

When should I choose my wedding hairstyle?

Several weeks before, so there is time for a trial and any cut or colour. Previewing styles on your photo helps narrow the choice first.

Can I preview veils or hair accessories?

No. The presets show the hairstyle only, without veils, flowers or accessories.

What hairstyle suits a groom?

Classic combed styles such as a side part, comb over or slick back photograph cleanly. Book the cut about a week before.

Should wedding hair be up or down?

It depends on the neckline, venue and weather. Up styles hold better outdoors; loose waves look softer. Preview both on your photo.
