The Fishtail Braid

"A sleek or messy fishtail braid is fantastic for outdoor weddings where hair risks getting wind-blown," says Alcala. "Incorporating a braid can also add an element of youthfulness and playfulness." Photo: Getty

The Half Updo

"Half-up can be very regal and elegant, " says Alcala. "It feels polished but still sexy. I generally like to only pull 1/3 of the hair up and leave the other 2/3 down so that the hair that is left down doesn't look too thin." Photo: Getty
The Beachy Wave

"I always tell brides to avoid hairspray. You can often see it and feel in the hair, and no bride wants that on their big day," says Fugate. Photo: Getty
The Deep Part Wave

"This style would be great for the minimalist bride," says Robinson. "It's very versatile and generally looks good on everyone. It also pairs nicely with more dramatic makeup, like a smokey eye or bright lip." Photo: Getty

"This style adds some dimension to classic long-hair wedding updo," says Kerastase consulting hairstylist Matt Fugate, who created the look for Karlie Kloss (seen here). "It would work well for a risk-taking bride." Photo: Getty
The Accessorized Chignon

Adding a "hair accessory" doesn't have to mean walking down the aisle in a tiara. When placed just behind the ear, the piece dresses up an otherwise ordinary look. Photo: Getty
