Best hairstyles for an older bride

For an older bride, the key is to find a hairstyle that makes you feel beautiful, confident, and comfortable, while also complementing your personal style and features. Here are some of the best hairstyle ideas that tend to work really well:

Soft, Loose Waves

• Soft, flowing waves can add volume and texture without looking too "done." It's a timeless and flattering choice that can look elegant and romantic for an older bride, especially if you have medium to long hair.
• You can add some soft layers or curls for a bit of movement, which is great if you want something that feels natural and light.

Low Chignon or Bun

• A classic low chignon or bun is a sophisticated, clean look that can be styled with a little volume at the crown or kept sleek. It’s flattering for most face shapes and keeps the hair out of the way.
• You can add accessories like a delicate hairpin, a floral comb, or even a veil to elevate the look.

 Side Swept or Asymmetrical Styles

• Side-swept hairstyles are a great option for older brides because they bring attention to your face and give the hair a soft, elegant flow. It also gives you the freedom to wear your hair either up or down with a touch of asymmetry that feels fresh.
• A soft, swept-back style can also work beautifully with a veil or hairpiece.

 Soft Updos

• A soft, textured updo with loose tendrils or curls can be incredibly flattering and youthful without feeling too "done." It adds a bit of height and structure, and the softness around the face can soften features.
• This look is great if you want something more formal but still effortless.

Half-Up, Half-Down

• The half-up, half-down style is a great balance of relaxed and polished. It works well for a variety of hair lengths and textures and can be accessorised with pins, flowers, or a veil. This style gives you the best of both worlds, with some hair up to show off your neckline and some hair down for volume and movement.

I think it all depends on your dress if off the shoulder i would love to see the hair up to show your shoulders and neck you are never too old a low bun in many different ways can look amazing and you can use hair extensions if you don't have enough hair for body.

A relaxed updo would be suitable, with some face framing pieces it will infuse elegance into your look. The veil will serve to enhance the framing of your face. To enhance the texture and volume of your hair, consider beach waves or loose curls. This tousled half-up, half-down hairstyle is an excellent choice for women experiencing hair thinning at the crown. View our gallery of hair styles https://www.blossomhairandmakeup.com

Hi there beautiful bride to be, and congratulations on your engagement, how exciting! :-)

Our recommendation would be to:

• find styles that suit your wedding theme, hair type and your own personality and style. 
• Select a hairstyle that works with all the other elements of your wedding (your dress, flowers etc). 
• Look through magazines and online for inspiration pictures and create a mood board or small collection of pictures. 
• Don’t look for one picture that is your perfect hair style but rather look for elements of a style that you like (e.g part line, amount of volume, waves etc). 
  
  Also, medium length hair is perfect for any style. You could also add clip in extensions for any extra length or volume that your style required.

I hope that helps, just let me know if you have any other questions! x

I say keep it simple and elegant. Soft curls , soft Hair ups make a great look.

Hello!

Don't be concerned about your age. Something complimentary, elegant and timeless is best. Speak with your stylist prior to your appointment about your questions and concerns. How do you feel most comfortable eg hair up/down, when do you feel most beautiful eg elegant up do or long waves? Extensions are always an option for thickness if you want fuller hair, too. 

I know this doesn give a direct answer, but hair is personal, not age related. ??

Hi there! For an older bride getting married a second time, I recommend keeping the style fresh and modern, a style that suits your face shape. A professional hairstylist will know what suits you. A trial with a highly qualified hairstylist that specialises in bridal would be the best way to go.  LBe sure to communicate any concerns or areas you'd like to address, allowing them to tailor the style to suit your face shape, your hair length and volume and not to forget, your dress choice.  Don't think you have to choose something 'classic or timeless' necessarily - yes they can be wonderful choices but sometimes classic can looked like 'revisiting' to a mature bride! that's not ideal either!  Fresh, modern and suitable to your face shape is great. Get a good haircut and colour and your hair will look outstanding! 

Hi lovely,

Congratulations ?? 

I did have a mature bride two weeks ago and was her second wedding too so the wedding was very intimate and wanted something elegant not over the top but still glamorous ??

So, after a few recommendations from me we ended up having hair down, Hollywood waves with a side part! 
She loved it, she felt like herself but more glamorous and she was comfortable throughout the whole day and night ????

I hope you find the right choice for you ????

Thank you,

Hi there,

It's more about your dress and what suits your face than your age.

I'd skip the veil but apart from that choose what you like.

Hi there,

Firstly congratulations.

I would suggest the following as options to consider for your wedding hairstyle:

Do you wear your hair out or up daily? 

If out, then I would suggest a soft wave to keep you looking like yourself without being too formal.

If you tend to wear your hair up alot you can either opt for a soft low bun or the latest Pamela Anderson updo which is effortless and simple while being timeless.

Depending on the theme of your wedding will help a hairstylist assist in selecting the right hairstyle for your special day, factors that also come into play is the neckline of your dress, style of dress and whether you will wear a veil or any hair accessories in your hair.

A hair trial with your preferred hairstylist would also be beneficial to try a few styles so you can see what wear well with your look and feel.

I hope this helps you a little towards finding the right hairstyle for you.
