Classic Hairstyles with a Chic Twist!
When searching for stylish hairstyles for an event, it’s common to come across very intricate options that one wouldn’t imagine being able to create on their own without the help of a professional hair stylist!
In the following lines, I will share some simple yet stylish hairstyle ideas that you can do yourself, whether you’re attending a wedding or even if you’re the bride-to-be!
If You Have Long Hair
Are your hair longer than your shoulders? Know that there is a wide variety of hairstyles available to you! Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Braid Your Hair!
Because they are unique and add elegance to your look, braids are particularly well-suited for a party hairstyle! However, it’s important to move away from the image of little girl pigtails by adding volume to your hair and structuring it in an asymmetrical way. For example, you can try:
- A single braid on the side,
- A crown braid that you start like a classic side braid, styled directly on the scalp, but you will secure the end on the opposite side of your head using a hairpin,
- Two braids pinned to the top of your head, leaving the rest of your hair free…
👉 For a bohemian and wild look, feel free to tease your hair a bit and use hairspray to hold your braids in place.
Not comfortable with braids? You can simply go for a stylish high voluminous ponytail! This hairstyle has been very trendy in recent years, keeping you cool during hot summer days while highlighting your neck and face. Don’t hesitate to lean forward when tying your hair; it will add some volume!
Keep Your Hair Down for a Natural, Bohemian Look
Would you like to keep your hair free? This is absolutely possible, and it perfectly fits the wild and spontaneous spirit that defines the wedding trends of recent years.
👉 Don’t hesitate to visit your hairstylist before the big day to refresh your haircut and trim any split ends that may have appeared in your hair!
To break away from the everyday routine, here are some tips to enhance your hair for this special day:
- Braid them the night before while they’re still damp from shampooing, and keep your braids in overnight! Undo them a few hours before the ceremony and use your fingers to style your hair for added volume.
- Feel free to add a little accessory: a flower clip, hairpin, ribbon…
Embrace the Messy Bun: A Simple and Very Feminine Hairstyle
Looking for a hairstyle that gives you a stylish look? Look no further and go for a bun! With some bobby pins, you can easily create a simple yet chic bun that will look fantastic!
This hairstyle pairs especially well with a backless dress, as it highlights and showcases your neck beautifully. 😉

If You Have Short Hair
It is often mistakenly believed that it is difficult to create a festive hairstyle with short hair. Let me prove you wrong!
Add Volume to Your Hair
The key, whether you have short or medium-length hair, is to add volume to your hair. To achieve this, brush your hair upside down, tease it with a comb, and finish off with hairspray to hold everything in place.
You can also use a styling wax to lift your roots effectively. Don’t hesitate to add movement to your hair and to work on your hairstyle all around your head. For a dynamic and stylish look, consider framing your face with an asymmetrical strand!
Bet on Accessories!
If you’re looking to style your hair for a party and have short hair, accessories will be your best friends! Choose them to match your outfit, makeup, and the color of your hair and eyes. They can help secure a small braid, sweep a strand away from your face, or simply add some flair to your hairstyle.
You have plenty of options to choose from:
- Hair comb with beads, flowers, etc.,
- Hair clip,
- Headband,
- Flower crown,
- … etc.
