Welcome to TressNails.com! I’m Ella Kohn, your guide in the world of beauty. Today, we’re diving into something truly special: finding the perfect look for the mother of the groom. This is a huge day, and you deserve to feel absolutely radiant. Seeing someone you love walk down the aisle is an incredible feeling, and knowing you look and feel your best adds to that joy. I remember watching my own cousin’s wedding, and his mom just glowed! Her smile was so big, and her hair was styled in a way that just made her feel so confident. It wasn’t just about the hair, it was about how it made her feel inside.
Choosing the right hairstyle can feel like a big decision, but I’m here to help make it easy and fun. We’ll explore a range of mother of the groom hairstyles, from elegant updos and chic bobs to soft, romantic waves. My passion is helping women discover styles that make them shine, and this collection of ideas is all about helping you find that perfect look for such a memorable occasion. Let’s find a style that makes you feel beautiful and confident as you celebrate this wonderful milestone.
Your Elegant Options for Mother of the Groom Hairstyles
Now that we’re in the wedding spirit, let’s explore some beautiful hairstyle options. These looks are perfect for the mother of the groom, designed to make you feel confident and gorgeous. Our first style is a personal favorite for its timeless appeal.
19. Soft Waves with a Side Part

Soft waves are a go-to for a reason. They bring such a romantic and gentle feel to your look. This style works wonderfully on almost any hair length, from a chic lob to long flowing locks. A side part adds a touch of elegance and can beautifully frame your face. It’s a fantastic choice if the wedding has a romantic or slightly more relaxed vibe. To get those lovely, soft waves, I often reach for a large barrel curling iron or even some big rollers. It gives that effortless bounce.
18. Low Bun with Face-Framing Pieces

A low bun is the picture of sophistication. It’s polished and chic, making it ideal for a formal wedding. What I love most is adding delicate face-framing pieces. They soften the look and can really highlight your features. This style pairs beautifully with a formal gown, especially if it has intricate details around the neckline. To keep everything neat, I always use plenty of bobby pins and a light-hold hairspray so it feels secure but not stiff.
17. Half-Up, Half-Down with Braids

This style offers the best of both worlds! You get the elegance of having some hair swept away from your face, while still having the softness of loose hair. Adding a braid or two woven into the half-up section brings in lovely detail and a touch of charm. It’s super versatile and works for both daytime and evening celebrations. Think about the wedding’s style when picking your braid – a delicate twist for romance, or a slightly thicker braid for a more rustic feel.
