2024 bridal wedding hair trends
The world of bridal hair is constantly changing due to trends and the influence of social media bringing 2024 a fresh wave of stunning styles. This year, we’re seeing a beautiful blend of timeless elegance and flair. Brides are increasingly seeking hairstyles that not only complement their overall look, but also reflect their personality and the tone of their wedding, whether it be a casual or more formal affair.
Emerging trends in bridal hair
One of the most notable trends for this year is the rise in relaxed styles. This look combines the sophistication of traditional bridal styles with a touch of effortless chic. Think soft, wispy up-dos, messy braids and loose, flowing waves. This trend speaks to the modern bride who wants to look immaculate yet relaxed on her big day.
Another emerging trend is the revival of hair accessories. From oversized floral clips to ornate headbands, 2024 brides are using hair accessories to add a personal touch to their look. These pieces are often becoming the focal point of the entire bridal ensemble and complement the overall bridal look. Check out Heera Hair and Makeup’s expert advice for bridal hair tips.

Fusion of classic and contemporary styles
The fusion of classic and contemporary styles is a key theme for 2024 wedding hair. Traditional styles like the French twist or the chignon are being reinvented with modern elements such as asymmetrical partings or the addition of intricate braids.
The classic low bun is getting a 2024 update with the addition of face-framing tendrils and textured, ‘messier’ finishes. Blending the old and new allows brides to honour timeless bridal traditions while still feeling current and fashionable.
Influence of social media and celebrities on wedding hair trends
It’s impossible to discuss 2024 wedding hair trends without acknowledging the significant influence of social media and celebrities. Celebrity weddings continue to be a major source of inspiration for brides-to-be, often setting trends that influence the bridal world. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have become go-to sources for bridal inspiration, often driving and accelerating trend cycles.
We see many celebrity brides showcasing different hair trends. Relaxed waves at a destination wedding have sparked a trend for more casual, effortless-looking styles, such as wedding hairstyles seen on Princess Eugenie and Hilary Duff. On the other hand, up-dos such as Sofia Ritchie’s midi knot bun wedding hairstyle are also very popular in 2024.
One notable influence is the rise in ‘Instagrammable’ hairstyles – looks that photograph particularly well and make a statement in photos. This has led to an increase in styles with interesting textures and details that catch the light and create visual interest.
It’s worth noting that while celebrity styles can provide great inspiration, it’s important to consider your own hair type, face shape, and overall wedding aesthetic when choosing your bridal hairstyle. After all, not everyone has a family tiara that they can loan the bride for her big day.

Adapting red carpet looks for your wedding day
Red carpet events have long been a go-to for hairstyle inspiration, and this holds true for bridal hair in 2024. We’re seeing an increase in brides adapting glamorous red carpet looks for their wedding day inspired by the latest celebrity look.
For example, the sleek, wet-look styles often seen on red carpets are being softened and romanticised for bridal wear. Similarly, the bold, structured up-dos favoured by some celebrities are being toned down and made more wearable for wedding days.
When adopting a red carpet look, consider how it will work with your dress, how it will hold up throughout your wedding day and how it fits with your overall bridal style.
Celebrity hairstylists’ insights and tips
Celebrity stylists known for their work with A-list celebrities, emphasise the importance of hair health. The recommendation is to start a good hair care routine months before your wedding. Healthy hair is the foundation of any great bridal style and this is a top priority leading up to your wedding.
Experts, who have styled numerous high-profile wedding looks, advise not to be afraid to break tradition as your wedding day is about expressing your personal style.
Stylists, favoured by Hollywood brides, suggest always to consider having a trial run of your wedding hairstyle. What looks good in a picture might not work with your hair type or face shape. Heera Hair and Makeup recommends a trial run before your big day. Contact us for more information.
Remember, while celebrity trends can be a great source of inspiration, your wedding day hairstyle should ultimately be a reflection of you. The team at Heera Hair and Makeup are experts at creating a look that makes you feel timeless, confident and beautiful.
