No other hairstyle has the temerity to challenge the monopoly of buns when it comes to wedding hairstyles right now. To give honor to whom it’s due, I’ll start off this compilation with a twisted full bun, which is very likely the most common hairstyle you’ll see on brides. There’s not much to say about this one; it’s simply perfect.

2. Side Frontal and Twisted Chignon

Another classic hairstyle that could manage to hold a candle to a wedding bun is the chignon, which is what we have here, but with a twist (literally). This twisted chignon also features a side frontal for a more natural look, creating the perfect hairstyle for a wedding.

3. Sleek Side Parted Twisted Bun with Hair Band

We’re talking wedding hairstyles here, so you should naturally be ready to see tons of buns; just a quick disclaimer. With that said, this side-parted bun is another elegant wedding hairstyle that’s worth considering. The hair band is a chic extra touch, especially if it matches with other apparel in your outfit.

4. Smooth Semi-Crown Hairdo with Frontal

The semi-crown hairdo is something else you’ll likely see very often at weddings, probably because of the connotations between weddings and crowns. If you’re after a beautiful way to sport the hairstyle at your wedding, this smooth semi-crown with frontal should be all you need.

5. Bold Side Frontal with Ball Bun

Here’s another bun that will serve excellently as a wedding hairstyle because why not? Since there’s nothing extraordinary going on here (apart from the bun of course), this style shouldn’t be too challenging to install. The smooth look is all that earned it a place in this compilation.

6. Curved Frontal with Downward Chignon Bridal Hairdo

Unlike a good number of the hairstyles we’ve seen earlier, this one actually has a couple of things going on that make it an adorable option. The gigantic chignon is clearly the highlight, but that shouldn’t distract attention from the curved frontal and the matching ornaments. It takes expertise to come up with something this awesome.

7. Neat-Centered Twisted Bun on Natural Hair

This hairstyle manages to look like it has a lot going on with it when actually, it’s nothing more than a very large bun. Still, I appreciate how much work goes into creating something of this magnitude and and making it look this adorable. No kidding, I’d totally wear the hairstyle at my wedding.

8. Sleek Bridal Updo

More work goes into creating an updo than a bun, and that’s more reason why I think the former is a more befitting wedding hairstyle than the latter. When you consider the elegance that most updos offer, it doesn’t look fair anymore; I mean, just look at the image above.

9. Touch and Curls on Natural Hair

Curls have a way of making any style look better, and they’re very easy to incorporate into any hairstyle. If the style above looks like something you’d want to wear, you may want to spend your extra time curling your hair instead of making an elegant bun. While this style still features a bun, it’s clearly not the highlight.

10. Twisted Sided Bridal Hairdo

Having a unique wedding is about breaking conventions, and the idea of a bun or chignon for a wedding hairstyle is definitely a convention. A creative way to do that is by rocking an alluring twisted-sided hairdo, which looks just as good as a bun, if not better!

11. Simple Curved Bun on Natural Hair

If this design looks just right to you, you can always show it to your hairstylist.

When checking out a list of wedding hairstyles, you need to get used to seeing buns, as it’s pretty much all you’ll see all through. The simple look of this is what attracted me to it, and I think it would make a good wedding hairstyle for brides that love simplicity. Also, the presence of a fringe is a nice touch.

13. Updo Ponytail on Natural Hair

This hairstyle looks pretty simple and smooth but isn’t something I’d wear at my wedding for personal reasons. If you have no problems with the long ponytail look, it could be a strong contender for a wedding hairstyle. Since it’s pretty easy to make, it’s going to be helpful for brides short on time.

14. Curly Burnt Cut Pony on Natural Hair
