6. French Twist with a Modern Twist
A classic French twist is timeless. Giving it a looser or textured finish makes it feel fresh and modern. It’s still elegant but not stiff. This is for sophisticated or chic brides. To add volume, you can backcomb the hair slightly before twisting it up.
5. Braided Low Ponytail
A low ponytail gets an upgrade with a braid woven in. A Dutch or French braid adds cool detail. It’s neat and still feels special. This is a practical yet elegant choice. To make the braid stand out, make sure it’s visible from the front or side, depending on your preference.
4. Vintage Waves
Transport guests with soft, defined waves from the 20s or 40s. It’s incredibly glamorous and nostalgic. This is perfect for vintage or Old Hollywood style brides. Use setting spray and pin curls while they cool to get those lasting vintage waves.
3. High Bun with Braided Base
Elevate a high bun by wrapping a braid around the base. It adds a beautiful, detailed touch. This is for stylish brides who love those extra details. Make sure the braid is smooth and well-defined so it really stands out against the bun.
2. Accessorized Updo
Any updo becomes instantly more personal with the right accessory. Combs, pins, or headbands can make a statement. Accessories let you show your unique style. This is for brides who want their personality to shine. Choose an accessory that complements your dress and overall wedding vibe.
1. Soft Updo with Loose Curls
My top pick for summer! A loosely pinned updo with soft curls falling around the face is so romantic. It feels ethereal and beautiful. This is perfect for romantic or soft-styled brides. To keep curls soft and bouncy, use a flexible hold hairspray instead of a stiff one.

How do I keep my summer wedding hairstyle from falling in the heat?
Prep is everything! Use a good primer or anti-humidity spray before styling. Choose strong but flexible hold products. Hairspray is your friend, but don’t go overboard. A little touch-up kit with extra pins and a travel-size spray is smart to have on hand for later in the day.
