24 Wedding-Worthy Hairstyles for Curly Hair

Beach brides can add an ocean-hued flower crown to curls for a mermaid vibe. In terms of texture, coily strands are tightly wound, and kinky strands are zigzags. Both are enviably voluminous (though prone to splitting).

Two romantic blooms play up this bride's natural curls. To care for your natural coils and kinks, you need to shampoo only about once a week. During the week (and after working out), refresh with a co-wash, which cleanses while keeping natural oils intact. Detangle wet hair with a wide-tooth comb, and protect your curls by drying with a microfiber towel instead of a coarse terry cloth one.

Gather your ringlets in an elegant chignon for a twist (pun intended) on the traditional updo. The shape of each strand will add considerable volume and dimension to the tuck.

Soft, bouncy curls are the perfect option for romantic brides. This look radiates a sultry glamour, just begging to be touched.

Vintage-inspired and totally cool, add silver or gold pins to keep hair out of your face. Not only cost-effective and pragmatic, but also this idea is a fresh alternative to traditional, more feminine hairpieces.

We can't decide what we're more in love with: this beauty's perfectly curled locks or her gorgeous hair color. The hair texture is relaxed and beachy. Keep the look casual by minimizing scalp oil, which can migrate down the hair shaft and flatten waves. Eliminate oil by shampooing the scalp and conditioning only the ends. Wash strands every other day—or the morning of your wedding.

Play up your hair's natural texture for an effortless 'do. This classic, curly hair texture can be unpredictable—sometimes they’re loose spirals; other times, they’re tighter corkscrews. Shampoo about every three days and two days before your wedding. Let your hair dry naturally, he suggests, and don’t touch it—even when you’re adding styling products. If you’re accessorizing with flowers or jewelry, secure them with U-shaped hairpins, which hold more hair than bobby pins do.

This easygoing style was the ideal choice for this bride's organic summer wedding in Maine. Drench your hair with oils high in fatty acids, like coconut, because they can deeply penetrate the hair shaft to loosen the coil.

Pretty blooms are the perfect accessory to curly locks. Just ask this bride. The lush locks create a perfect anchor to nestle the flowers into.

We're head over heels for this beauty's lion-esque curls. This hairstyle is larger than life and brimming with personality, much like the bride herself we assume.

The drapey flower stems that hang among these tendrils mimic the shape of the twists creating an enchanted-garden-fairy feeling. We can't get enough of this whimsical 'do.

This bride's free-flowing spirals were the perfect complement to her light and airy dress. The whole look had a romantic and boho vibe that fit the mountainside nuptials.
