Wedding Hairstyles You Can Actually Do Yourself

Truth be told, you don’t need to overthink your ‘do. Simple wedding hairstyles allow your outfit and make-up to do the talking, and give off a nonchalant vibe we know Birchboxers love (even when you’re running 15 minutes late for the ceremony, or if the chicken dinner is dry!).

Want something that looks effortless but utterly gorgeous? Armed with the three looks below, a helpful bridesmaid, and some jazzy accessories, every bride can have dreamy locks without an extortionate price tag…

1. The Side Sweep

It doesn’t get much easier than this effortless look. With a good blow dry base (DIY or visit a salon the day before!), it can be done in a flash and is great for all lengths.

2. The Speedy Chignon

Forget the overdone, crispy updos of yore. This unfussy number is made perfect by its imperfections - bonus points if you pull out some loose tendrils to frame your face.

3. The Braid

A beautiful braid will never ever get old. Take yours from everyday to wedding day with some carefully-placed pins. Use fewer or more pins, depending how extra you want to be!
