Wedding Hairstyles for Curly Hair

Wedding season is in full swing, and you have your fit and shoes all ready, but you may be wondering what hairstyle to try for the important date. Even if you’re not the one tying the knot, styling your gorgeous curly hair might just make you feel like it’s your day as well.

Considering the setting of the celebratory day can help set up a foundation for your overall look, including hairstyle. Worried about styles that will suit your unique curl pattern? We have selected styles that can work for all curl types so fret no more. No matter the location you’re headed to, Ouidad has you covered with everything from shampoos and conditioners to styling products and accessories.

The Romantic 

If you have RSVPed to a wedding at a vineyard or garden, think simple, elegant romance. Usually, combining elements of nature and sophistication, venues like this could be reminiscent of the French countryside or an English Teahouse. This wedding type is a staple for summer and fall, dripping with flowers, wine, and beauty everywhere. Look and feel your best by complementing this type of wedding’s attractive charm with a suave, pinned updo. Made for Curls™ XL Styling Pin provides a sleek silhouette for styling your updo to achieve that effortless, elegant look. Finish off with our Finishing Mist Setting & Holding Spray | Ouidad for medium hold that will lock in your curly style all-day long.

The Destination 

Jetting off or road tripping to an upcoming wedding this season? Whether you are headed to the beach, a national park, or even another country, functionality is essential. But ease can be stylish as well. For an easy, simple style that will work for any outdoor setting, try a half-up half-down style. For an extra strong hold that will tolerate any climate, try the Advanced Climate Control® Heat & Humidity Stronger Hold Gel to keep your style looking great all day long. Check out our Travel Size page to find any of your other favorite shampoos, conditioners, or styling products in a perfectly compact and lightweight form. 

The Chic 

If you’re headed to a rooftop, museum, or gallery and looking for a smart curly hairstyle that fits the setting, look no further. One of our favorite sleek and fashion-forward hairstyles that will flatter your bouncy curls is the pulled-back low pony. Using the Thick Hair Paddle Detangler at the top half of your hair, brush back curls into a tight and secure low ponytail. To complete the look, slick the hair on top down with Clear Control Pomade to prevent flyaways and get secure, shiny hold all day long. To keep your style looking fresh throughout the event, touch up your curls with Featherlight Touch-Up Gel Cream or Frizz-Fighting Touch-Up Balm for long-lasting, frizz-free curl definition. 

The Classic 

Maybe you’re looking for a stylish and classic look fit for that banquet hall or restaurant venue.  An easy way to create a sophisticated updo yourself is to use the Made for Curls™ XL Claw Clips (2 pk). Created specifically to complement and hold your curls, our claw clips have an extra-large design with additional teeth that make that updo easy to achieve and maintain. Coming in both gold and silver, match your clip to the rest of your jewelry and hardware to appear cohesive and put-together. Gently gather curls, twist upward, and fasten with clip. Pull out your front pieces and style for a flirty touch to the overall look.  

The Rustic 

Fall feels like it’s peeping just around the corner and popular venues for this time of year include a home backyard, barn, farm, or lodge. The best part about this setting type is the feeling of coziness and comfort. Out in nature and maybe a little more laid back, going for a loose top knot bun is the perfect fit for this setting. Achieve your look using the Made for Curls™ XL Coil Scrunchies (2 pk) to painlessly fasten curls. Finish the look off with the Curl Last® Flexible-Hold Hairspray to secure the style in place while maintaining body and movement.
