From Veil to Vows: Summer Wedding Hairstyles That Wow

Wedding season is just around the corner, and at 209 Salon, we’re already seeing the hottest bridal beauty trends begin to blossom. This summer, it’s all about effortlessly romantic hair paired with dresses that speak to both modern sophistication and timeless elegance. Whether you’re walking down the aisle or helping your bestie say “I do,” we’ve rounded up the most stunning wedding hairstyles of the season—and the perfect gown styles to match.

1. Textured Low Buns

The classic low bun is getting a summer refresh with loose, textured waves and soft tendrils framing the face. This romantic, undone style works beautifully with summer heat and humidity—keeping you cool while looking totally effortless.

Best Dress Pairing:
Low buns show off your neckline, so they pair beautifully with off-the-shoulder gowns, sweetheart necklines, or anything with delicate detailing up top. Think ethereal lace and flowy tulle skirts that feel like a dream.

2. Soft Boho Waves with Braided Accents

This carefree style is perfect for outdoor weddings—from beachfront vows to garden ceremonies. Soft, loose waves combined with small braids (think crown braids or fishtail details) offer a laid-back vibe that’s still completely bridal.

Best Dress Pairing:
Pair these waves with bohemian-inspired dresses. Look for flowing silhouettes, bell sleeves, or open backs. Chiffon and crochet lace are key fabrics here. This look is a match made in heaven for free-spirited brides.

3. Sleek Ponytails

Modern brides are embracing the power of a sleek, polished ponytail. Whether high and bold or low and minimal, this style screams confidence and elegance.

Best Dress Pairing:
Sleek ponytails highlight the neck and shoulders, so consider a halter neckline or a minimalist sheath dress. Clean lines and structured silhouettes complement the contemporary edge of this hairstyle.

4. Half-Up Glam with Volume

Half-up hairstyles continue to reign supreme, but this season, volume is the name of the game. Think lifted crowns, cascading curls, and just the right amount of bridal sparkle (hello, pearl pins and crystal combs!).

Best Dress Pairing:
This hairstyle works well with A-line gowns or dresses with a dramatic skirt. It keeps the hair out of your face while still showing off your length—perfect for brides who want a touch of glam.

5. Polished Braided Chignons

For a chic take on traditional bridal updos, the braided chignon offers texture, symmetry, and sophistication. It’s perfect for formal affairs or black-tie weddings.

Best Dress Pairing:
Structured ball gowns or satin dresses with high necklines enhance the elegance of this style. Add statement earrings, and you’ve got a red-carpet-worthy bridal look.
