Pretty Fall Wedding Hairstyles Ideas 2025 to Inspire Every Bride, Bridesmaid & Guest

There is something magic about fall weddings: that fresh air, golden-hour sunlight, and a sort of cozy luxury that makes you want to put your whole outfit into a warm hug. So when it comes to your hair? You want it to match the vibe. Whether you’re the bride, a bridesmaid, or a guest, fall is your chance to lean into textures, accessories, and romance. But there are so many options, where to start?

Do you want to wear a classic updo or half up twist? Do you have thin hair or are you going bold with long waves? So how do you marry a country touch with a Hollywood shine?

Let’s talk texture, tones, and transformations. Since each head of hair has its moment, and especially in the fall.

Soft Curls & Romantic Half-Up Charm

It has something eternally sweet about this soft, cascading half up style that is both elegant and with the right amount of whimsy. The soft waves add volume without appearing overdone and the pinned-back hairstyles open-up the face without having to give up length. It is one of those romantic, natural looks that are easy, yet not unnoticeable to a long hair bride or long hair bridesmaid. Paired with satin, bows, or pearl accessories, it’s perfect for an outdoor rustic wedding under golden trees.

fall wedding hairstyles Soft Curls & Romantic Half-Up Charm
To keep this look soft but not flat, I always start with a volumizing mousse (I like the Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse) before drying. A 1-inch curling wand can create these defined-yet-loose spirals. Top it off with a shine spray, and dancing all night? A flexible hold hairspray is your best friend.

I personally love this hairstyle for bridesmaids with long hair who want to feel dressed up without feeling too “done.” It is applicable on medium length hair as well and flows seamlessly between ceremony and reception. When you have a dress that has something elaborate on the neckline the half-up lift works so well.

I would not alter a hair in this–unless you are the bride, in which case you might add a fine hair pin or mini veil. It’s soft, timeless, and universally flattering.

Modern Bun With Sculpted Elegance

If you’re looking for a sleek, jaw-dropping moment, this bride updo is your power move. It is architectural yet not harsh; a bridesmaid up-do that makes a statement in the most desirable manner. The low bun that is tucked and complemented by the face-framing waves combines both the old and the new. It is hyper-glam, but somehow works at a fall wedding in an art gallery or an urban rooftop. No fuss, just statement.

fall wedding hairstyles Modern Bun With Sculpted Elegance
This kind of structure needs prep. It is my mantra to use a smoothing serum prior to styling, Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream is a classic for shine and control. You will need a strong-hold gel or pomade to maintain the sides clean and free of flyaways. Misted with a mist such as Kenra Professional Volume Spray 25 to that stay-all-day polish.

What I adore about this bun is its flexibility. It will rock as a guest, bride or bridesmaid and is equally effective on thin hair because you can add volume to the bun itself. And let’s be real—it’s giving “red carpet meets vow exchange,” and I’m into it.

One last thought? Pair it with bold earrings or a bare neckline. Let the hair be the hero.

Hollywood Waves With a Fall Twist

It is your wedding and there is no better time to glam up. This carved wave effect provides bride with energy, in every good way: polished, elegant, and completely timeless. The swooping drama, the deep side part, the shiny finish? It is a reference to old Hollywood that remains very much of the moment. This is ideal on a long hair bride in a minimalist dress and maximum confidence.

fall wedding hairstyles Hollywood Waves With a Fall Twist
You will require a barrel curling iron and a smoothing brush to achieve those defined curves. I always use Drybar’s Heat Protectant Mist to preserve shine, and then a shine oil like Olaplex No. 7 to finish. Remember to pin the shape in with clips as the hair cools, this is why the wave does not fall out when you toast the ceremony.

I’ve worn this style as a guest and felt like I could’ve walked straight into a movie premiere. And it stands up pretty well, particularly when you are at a fall event and humidity is not the enemy.

Not much is required to this style- perhaps a bold lip and a silk dress. It’s full glam with minimal effort (on the surface at least).

Retro Chic Rolls for Vintage Lovers

This is to the brides or bridesmaids who would want their wedding to be like a black and white movie. The old school swirl, which is embedded in a short, carved crown, is retro, shamelessly retro and very chic. This is a great style on shorter hair or medium length cuts but has that 1940s glamour with an editorial and cool factor. You don t see it everyday when someone gets it right like this–but when it works, it works.

fall wedding hairstyles Retro Chic Rolls for Vintage Lovers
This kind of style is organised and thus prep is everything. To control, you will begin with a blowout and to shape, you will use Tresemmes Extra Hold Mousse. Craft the rolls into shape using a small round brush and pin until cool. Finish with L’Oréal Elnett Satin Hairspray—it’s iconic for a reason.

This is my favorite as a guest short or even a bride wearing a vintage dress. It is not an experience to be taken lightly, but it is memorable.

Add a red lip and pearl earring and you have something that is straight out of fall, but will always be timeless.

Classic Shine with a Diamond Clip

Some styles don’t shout—they glow. It is a bridal yet wearable glossy wave and a glam clip. Whether you’re a bridesmaid, a long hair guest, or even a bride who wants something more low-key, it’s the kind of look that says “I woke up like this” (but way better). It’s perfect for bridesmaid curls with a sleek twist, and the shine is everything.

fall wedding hairstyles Classic Shine with a Diamond Clip
Healthy, shiny hair starts way before styling. I can testify to Keraastase elixir ultimate oil- apply once a week and your hair will appreciate it. Use a large barrel and lightly curl and smooth with a boar bristle brush to achieve that silky look. That clip? The cherry on top.

This is a nice, simple or bridesmaid half look to me; not too much, but still looks lovely in the photos at the reception.

You could restyle it the following day as well and wear it to brunch with a snuggly knit and still feel like a star.

Retro Pearl-Clip Glam for Short Hair Queens

This look is absolute sunshine. A traditional short wave, rounded on one side, topped with layered pearl pins- it is playful, celebratory and with an edge. In case you have been searching bridesmaid short hair inspo that is fun but not too casual to wear to the wedding, this is your sign. This is one of those short hair styles that makes you understand that you do not need length to get everyone staring at you, you need great styling and some sparkle.

fall wedding hairstyles Retro Pearl-Clip Glam for Short Hair Queens
In order to get such lift and volume, I would pre-style hair with Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray, and use small curling iron and clips to set the curls. Brush out with soft bristle brush once cooled to get that polished wave. The real charm? Those pearl clips. Not only they are decorative, they hold the hair and lift up the entire mood.

I have witnessed this style to take the limelight in more than one reception. It is a manner to say I was there without appearing to have overdone it. Perfect as a trendy urban visitor, a stylish bridesmaid, or a short style guest that people are just itching to compliment.

Honestly, this one just makes me smile. It’s giving vintage, playful, and perfectly fall.

Twisted Pearl Bun with Sculpted Detail

In case you want that sleek at all angles look, this pearl-embellished updo is the dream. It is wearable art-smooth on the sides, detailed on top, and decorated with pearls that are like drops of dew. For bridesmaids or even a bride going for timeless sophistication, this twisted bun says “classy” without being boring. It’s a total showstopper for a fall wedding with classic details.

fall wedding hairstyles Twisted Pearl Bun with Sculpted Detail
Such depth requires sleek, healthy locks, a bottle of Color Wow Dream Coat to smooth frizz and give glass-like shine is a necessity. You will need a rattail comb to section and a zillion bobby pins to make those pieces just perfect. Complete the entire ensemble with pearl pins or hair jewels.

The thing is it works perfectly on medium length and long hair and that is what I love. The right base product can volumize even thin hair to suit this silhouette. It’s a great bridesmaid updo that photographs beautifully from every angle.

If you’re adding a veil, place it beneath the bun to show off that twisted crown. Extra points if you are wearing pearls elsewhere-in your earrings, on your necklace, or on your dress.

Classic Bride With a Soft-Side Sweep and Veil

This look is like a soft breath of elegance. The side-swept bang is voluminous, and it is complimented by a tucked chignon, and the veil flows gracefully behind. It is simple and elegant-perfect to have a bride who wants to be understated glamorous. An ideal fall wedding song in an old building or a candlelit chapel. Every detail whispers “grace.”

fall wedding hairstyles Classic Bride With a Soft-Side Sweep and Veil
The secret of this style is to obtain the volume without sacrificing softness. That swoop is achieved with a round brush blowout, a little teasing at the crown and a side part. To fix everything, but not to make it stiff, I would recommend Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray. If you have thinner hair, use the donut bun to add volume.

This is the type of style I would suggest to brides who want their hair to be as good in the front as it is in the back. And it looks amazing with statement earrings or an off-shoulder dress.

It is smooth, camera-friendly, and allows that crucial first-look experience. Spray on some finishing spray and you are good to go down the aisle.

Statement Bow Meets Chic Volume

Let’s talk drama. This hair style provides low lift at the top, a casual side sweep and the crowning glory, a satin bow to hold a sheer veil. It’s modern princess meets old-school glam. It is ideal to a long haired bride or even a bridesmaid half updo who wants something soft and styled, but not predictable. It runs, I am positive but I love an amateur touch.

fall wedding hairstyles Statement Bow Meets Chic Volume
This style is most suitable in blow dried and gently curled hair. I begin every time with Kerastase Lincroyable blowdry lotion to add heat protection and structure. Use a 1.25” wand and curl and fall into place. You want volume at the root so tease a little and comb over.

The most remarkable to me is the balance of this style. It neither seems too young nor too rigid, it is just in the middle. Wearing a structured or floral-textured gown? It doesn t compete, it complements.

Also, bows are totally back. It may be your thing in case you like discreet vintage references.

Rustic Romance in a Loose Textured Updo

This is peak rustic bridal beauty. The relaxed bun, softly pulled through to create a texture, face-framing strands and natural volume- it is effortless in all the right places. On an outdoor backdrop and a dress with a touch of puff-sleeve magic? Ugh. It’s giving fairytale. If you’re a bride who wants something romantic and a little undone, this is it.

fall wedding hairstyles Rustic Romance in a Loose Textured Updo
This style lives on texture, and I never begin without IGK Beach Club Texture Spray. When curling, bring all the hair into a low bun and loosen strands to make it soft. Pin on with small pins and leave some tendrils to border the face. For more fall flair, you may fold in dried flowers, a lace ribbon or even a plain veil.

It is a must when you have autumn weddings in vineyards, farms, or golden fields. The feel is boho-meets-timeless and it is particularly good with thin hair since you can add volume without a lot of weight.

Honestly? No notes. It is one of my favorite fall wedding hairstyles of all times, simple, soft, and always so romantic.

Classic Half-Up With Retro Volume

This is a half up half long style of hair that is a classic. It is all soft volume at the crown and the rest flow down in sleek shiny waves. The design provides it with a slight retro reference and the finishing is new and contemporary. Perfect on a bride who likes her hair down but still shaped, or on a bridesmaid half-do that makes itself noticed.

fall wedding hairstyles Classic Half-Up With Retro Volume
I would use Amika The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray before curling to add hold and bounce and then seal with smoothing cream at the ends. The crown lift can be done using back combing and some grip using texturizing spray. In case you want your long hair to be even more voluminous, the magic works under clip-in extensions.

It has an old-fashioned beauty to it that reminds me of candlelit dinners and silk dresses. It is also very photogenic- side profile and full on shots are a fan of this shape.

I’d love to see this paired with a soft cathedral veil, placed just below the volume for a cascading bridal finish.

Romantic Waves for Fall Guests

The wave pattern in this style is absolute perfection. Thick, consistent waves that are old-fashioned and all modern at the same time. It’s ideal for a long hair guest or bridesmaid who wants that “did she go to a salon?” level of polish. The side part is slightly dull, but the shininess can make it look fancy enough to be in any fall wedding scenario, both outdoors and indoors.

fall wedding hairstyles Romantic Waves for Fall Guests
A large barrel iron can be used to create this sculpted curl pattern by clipping each curl until it cools. To make it soft, brush out with a wide-tooth comb and spray on R+Co Foil Frizz + Static Control Spray to get that mirror shine. I would advise that it be set with some hair oil in order to keep it defined throughout the day.

This is my personal go-to for fall weddings. It goes with pretty much every neckline of a dress and it does not budge even after spending the night dancing. There’s something about glossy waves that just hits right with velvet or satin in cooler months.

No extra accessories needed—this hair speaks for itself. But pearl earrings? Chef’s kiss.

Minimalist Sleek Low Bun

Here’s one for the minimalists. This sleek updo is clean, structured, and endlessly versatile. It is ideal to a contemporary bride, or even a guest easy hairstyle that appears a million dollars without fuss. The knot is smooth and symmetrical, perfect as a small civil wedding or minimalist chic wedding.

fall wedding hairstyles Minimalist Sleek Low Bun
The foundation is sleekness. Smooth with a blow dryer and round brush, prep using Ghd Straight & Smooth Spray and straighten with a flat iron. Part and pinch together low, twist into a knot and fasten with clear elastics and pins. Shine spray brings the look home.

This type of style is one of my faves on medium length hair- it stays so pretty and not weighed down. It’s also great if you’re dealing with thin hair, as the clean structure doesn’t require a ton of volume.

If you’re adding a veil, place it just above the knot for a very Audrey Hepburn finish. Understated luxury at its best.

Modern Bob with Glam Headband

Short doesn’t mean limited—and this wavy bob proves it. Tousled texture and a rhinestone headband make this short hairstyle of bridesmaid or guest short a look that adds sparkle without being a complete princess. It has a cool-girl chic and yet, has just the right amount of glam that says special occasion and to be honest-it is fall perfect. I adore how the waves are not over-the-top and the headband is doing the real work.

fall wedding hairstyles Modern Bob with Glam Headband
To achieve this style I would suggest Ouai Wave Spray on damp hair, diffuse and add body, then work in pieces with a mini flat iron or wand. Styled with the Kristin Ess Working Texture Spray to get that undone-but-done style. The headband? Choose one that complements your dress—not competes with it.

This hairstyle is such a winner for short hair weddings because it’s expressive, flattering, and doesn’t take hours to achieve. Also, headbands are back in a big way, thanks to Bridgerton.

Perfect to use in a garden party, in a vineyard wedding or even an elopement in a courthouse.

Boho Baby’s Breath Half-Up

Now this one is pure fall wedding poetry. Tender bridesmaid curls, piled into a soft half up twist and adorned with baby breath- it is all enchanted woodland fairy in the most refined fashion. This is a stunning choice of bridesmaid, guest, or bride who wants to go boho or rustic. So beautiful to have florals in your hair without being full flower crown.

fall wedding hairstyles Boho Baby's Breath Half-Up
Soft curl on a 1-inch wand, and then twist each side back and pin. I never style without first misting Not Your Mother Dry Finish Texture Spray to aid in grip and bounce. Finish with fresh or dried flowers- baby breath will last well all day.

That is the style that I would suggest every time to outdoor fall weddings when the atmosphere is romantic and nature-driven. It looks great on medium length to long hair, and in case you have a golden hour ceremony in mind- this one will shine.

Bonus trick: put some floral mist in the hair, spraying a bit of it to intensify the sense effect. Trust me, it makes a difference.

Soft & Sculpted: The Romantic Bride Updo

There’s something about this textured bride updo that gives off “fall enchantress” energy in the most understated way. It is not only a fall wedding hairstyle, but it is also the hairstyle of a bride who desires to be soft but not to give up the structure. The braids are gently twisted into a full low bun, and the top is left airy and a bit elevated to give the impression of undone-but-not-quite. The platinum blonde color just adds more light-absorbing folds to this, and it is a dreamy decision to be taken by the long hair bride or a person with medium length hair who wants to be elegant.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-soft-sculpted-romantic-bride-updo
To maintain, I would suggest a texturizing spray first, followed by styling- Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray to add the strands a little hold, without being crunchy. After the ceremony (and all the happy crying), a couple of spritzes will bring the style back to life for the reception.

Such an appearance I would term timeless with a twist. I’ve always loved a classic chignon, but this one’s messier in the best way. It whispers rather than shouts the word bridal, and it will be at home in a barn with candles or in a gloomy old ballroom. When you are a bride who is leaning boho, but you still want a bit of polish, this is your hairstyle.

What I’d add to complete it? A fine veil or even an old pearl hair comb pushed in one side. This already dreamy style would be taken to full storybook level, but not overwhelm it.

Structured Volume with a Sculptural Twist

This stunning updo takes bridesmaid updo to couture levels. It is smooth at the bottom and then bursts into a voluminous, sculpted twist, which gives it length and drama. It is a power move to any guest or bridesmaid who has thicker hair as it flatters necklines such as sweetheart and strapless. It has a contemporary feel to it, yet it remains traditionally formal in tone, almost like a love letter to the old Hollywood, and re-written for 2025.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-structured-volume-sculptural-updo
To make this style work for a full day (from ceremony to Champagne tower), a smoothing serum like R+Co Moon Landing Anti-Humidity Spray is essential. You want nothing to be moved, and nothing to be helmet-y. And never, never fasten with pins of a different color than your hair. It’s a little thing, but it matters.

Personally? I find this style super empowering. It goes, I came here to be a part of the celebration but I brought the juice. This balances the look like magic, in case your fall dress has a dramatic silhouette.

Would I pair this with earrings? 100%. It is a hair style that is in love with statement accessories chandelier, geometric, even vintage art deco. Let it serve.

Old Hollywood for a Modern Bride

Could anything be more timelessly romantic than brushed-out vintage curls? This style is dripping with screen siren glamour and on a long haired bride or bridesmaid, it gives the effect of a cascading frame almost cinematic. The deep part on the side, the shine, the little bounce in the ends, it is pretty without being over-done. This is a perfect match with fall rich, structured fabrics such as satin, velvet, or even crepe minimalist.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-old-hollywood-modern-bride
Maintaining this look takes prep. Take a good set of curling irons and cool them, then brush them out with a boar bristle brush. Lock in moisture with Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil, which will provide a shine, and help against humidity, which is especially handy on the unpredictable fall afternoons.

I had a version of this at the recent wedding of one of my best friends last October and I felt like I had just walked out of a red carpet. It also photographed so well–soft, yet sculptural.

Are you in the mood to add a bit of glam and make it fit within a rustic or even boho space? Then this one is not to be overlooked. Add a bold lip and you’re golden.

Classic Waves Meet Bridal Glow

This one is all about effortless glow. This loose, cascading waves are screaming romance, particularly when combined with soft blonde coloring and a radiant complexion. It is ideal to a bride or bridesmaid who does not want to be all updo, but still wants something that is photo-ready and voluminous. It’s that fine balance between put-together and free-spirited. It is ideal to be used in an outdoor boho wedding under fall leaves or barn lights.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-classic-waves-bridal-glow
Now there is a secret: take 1.25 inch barrel and curl everything in one direction. Then finger brush it out and set with Kristin Ess Soft Shine Spray. It adds that lived-in softness minus the weight of your waves.

The thing I like about this hairstyle is that it is versatile. You may drape on a flower crown, a ribbon, a crystal comb, or wear it as-is. This one is flattering all around to long hair bridesmaids or even long hair guests.

I would suggest that to make it look asymmetrical, pin one side behind your ear with an old fashioned pin or barrette. It’s a small shift that changes everything visually.

Half-Up Drama for the Minimalist Guest

This half up hairstyle is clean, sharp, and still undoubtedly feminine and captures that elusive vibe of effortless elegance that everyone is into in 2025 weddings. The upper half is pulled into a tight twist to give it the extra length and the lower half is bent and round. It is providing guest, but it would very well translate into a half up look or even bridesmaid curls with shape. It has a low profile sophistication that suits medium length or long hair.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-half-up-drama-minimalist-guest
There were to be no flyaways here, so I would use Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser Invisible Oil Primer and a flexible hold spray. It maintains everything sharp but not rigid and this is important when it comes to needing movement and control.

I believe this is an underestimated beauty – perfect as the guest simple or the bridesmaid who needs something other than a bun or a braid. It is smooth yet it allows your texture to speak a bit.

Add on minimalist hoops or stacked ear cuffs to finish it, and you have a fall beauty moment that is not overdone.

Pearlcore Meets Boho Curls

This ethereal moment is pure boho magic. Unbound flowing locks are given an otherwordly glow-up with pearl-strands interwoven like glimmering beads of light. It is providing magical forest bride or artistic visitor, and frankly? I cannot forget how perfectly it manages to be structured yet soft. If you’re craving a fall wedding hairstyle that doesn’t follow the rules but still leaves jaws on the floor — this is it.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-pearlcore-meets-boho-curls
No heated styling tools required, here, in fact, the natural texture is the star. Hold and define with twist Ouai Curl Crme and then thread your strands with beaded hair jewelry or clipped- in pieces. Think artisan elegance over perfect polish.

This one feels personal to me, it feels like you wear it when you want to feel powerful, and yet entirely yourself. A stylist once told me that the most unforgettable hair is the kind that doesn’t look like it’s trying too hard. This one nails that philosophy.

Want to go bold? Combine it with a backless dress or a simple and architectural one to make the hair the protagonist. Frankly, do not be surprised when guests interrupt in mid-toast just to inquire how you pulled it off.

Vintage Drama with a Deco Edge

The glamour: sleek waves with a high shine and vintage perfection and medium length hair being styled in deep ridge to resemble the beauty of the 1920s. But it is the accessories the crystalline combs wrapping the curves that take it right into the editorial realm. That is one of those statements that seek a bride who likes fashion history or even a guest that steals the show at an official fall wedding.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-vintage-drama-deco-edge
Finger waves require patience and the right tools. Apply Kenra Platinum Hot Spray 20 to protect and hold the hair and then shape with clips as hair cools. It’s not the quickest process, but the result? Red carpet-worthy.

It was the kind of look I had seen once at a candlelit wedding in Charleston the bride said nothing before she walked down the aisle but we all knew she was the moment. That’s this vibe. Iconic, structured, unforgettable.

Would I change a thing? Only to add a bold red lip or velvet heels — because if you’re going all-in on vintage drama, go all the way.

Simple Elegance in a Twisted Bun

This is a sleek tangle of a bun with a fine rope braid and it is simple sophistication. It exudes an I woke up calm and I am the bride vibe, something about its softness and symmetry is so romantic. And you add the daintily white floral pin, and it is a classic bride updo or even a glamorous look at a long hair bridesmaid.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-simple-elegance-twisted-bun
This kind of structure needs prep. Apply Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo the previous day to provide grip. Then snip and turn with a light styling cream to prevent frizz and fuzz — particularly in fall air that is crisp.

Honestly, this one’s a go-to in my own lookbook. It compliments all types of dresses and fits all wedding functions, whether it is a guest, a bridesmaid, or a bride. And it will not clash with a veil in case you add one.

If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony or fall vineyard wedding, this bun is weather-proof and wind-proof without losing charm. I’d call that a major win.

Old-School Glamour for the Bold Bride

This look is unapologetically glam. High-shine jet-black curls fall in perfect, symmetrical waves, and the skin is perfect and that deep wine lip, the kind of look that makes everyone in the room want to adjust their posture. It is an empowered look on a long hair bride who may want to embrace the drama of the season.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-old-school-glamour-bold-bride
A heavy-duty curl setter and a shine serum such as Briogeo Farewell Frizz Rosehip Oil will be needed to keep this glossy and frizz-free. Cool in large rollers and brush back with paddle brush. The key here is time and technique.

I associate this style with candlelit receptions, smoky jazz playlists and dresses with dramatic trains. It’s not just a hairstyle — it’s a mood. If you’re not afraid of being the most glamorous woman in the room, this is your sign.

I would wear this with old-fashioned gloves, a winged liner that is well defined, and a confidence that is not apologetic. Let’s bring drama back — tastefully.

Sweet & Chic for the Bridesmaid with Short Hair

And lastly, the style that addresses any bridesmaid short hair dilemma. It is easy to achieve that kind of charm with this short, softly waved hair cut twisted half up and adorned with a satin bow. It is young, fresh, and extremely Pinterest-able as a guest short hair style or even a romantic bridesmaid half up.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-sweet-chic-bridesmaid-short-hair
Here you really only need a heatless wave method or a curling wand and a flexible hold mousse such as Moroccanoil Curl Control Mousse. It adds texture without stickiness and provides enough grip so that that oversized bow can remain centered all night.

I have short hair, and I am well aware of the frustration of the unending updos and braids that we simply can not do. However, this appearance shows that style does not require length. It’s proof that sweet doesn’t have to mean boring.

This style is ideal when you want to use an early-fall garden wedding or an indoor venue with rustic flair–this style is soft and charming enough to suit almost anyone.

Classic Crowned Waves for the Elegant Bride

The smooth retro waves and a thin crystal tiara result in an eternal silhouette that fits perfectly in a transcendent fall ceremony. This is a sophisticated, romantic style, and the medium length hair, which is shoulder-grazing, and is ideal to be set in glossy waves, is a classic look that should be an easy option because it is not very dramatic; it does not have a very strong updo. It is classic but not old fashioned and modern but not trendy.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-classic-crowned-waves-elegant-bride
If you’re going for this style, prep with a shine-enhancing mousse like Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer and set with hot rollers to get that soft roundness. Use a couple of drops of lightweight serum and smooth flyaways and set them in place with a flexible hold hairspray to add movement.

This hairstyle feels to me ever so bridal, yet never expected. It is a beautiful option to brides who wish to have a wedding style that would mature beautifully in pictures. Bonus? It does not crowd out a veil or earrings that almost touch the shoulders.

This is a wink towards vintage glamour, which suits perfectly in 2025 in structured dresses or airy tulle sleeves.

Slicked Perfection for the Chic Bridesmaid

This sleek low bun is pure confidence. It is sharp, neat, and chiseled out- it is the best bridesmaid style or modern guest hairdo in a minimalist dress code. The hairstyle is center-parted and gathered into a small knot at the nape of the neck, so that the natural features and outfit stand out. Perfect on thin hair or medium length hair that doesn t hold curls, this style gives polish with no fuss.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-slicked-perfection-chic-bridesmaid
You will require IGK Mistress Hydrating Hair Balm and a fine-tooth comb to get the shiny finish. The secret is tension: brushing in parts and holding down with close pins so that everything is held in place. This is no place to be soft, it is the clean lines that are sharp.

I did something similar last fall with the addition of winged liner and a statement cuff. It was all vibe of modern femme fatale and I have never felt more put together. This is the power move when you are in a structured dress or satin corset.

Combine this with thick eyebrows or geometric jewelry and it makes a minimalist masterpiece.

Regal Beaded Draping for the Boho Bride

This look is practically royal. The back is a cascade of loose waves and a jeweled netting of pearls is draped across the crown and shoulders as though out of a mythical love story. It is heavenly, airy and perfect as a long hair bride who wants a boho or rustic evening wedding. The manner in which the pearls reflect the light is just right during fall golden hour.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-regal-beaded-draping-boho-bride
You’ll need texture for hold. On wet hair, apply Davines This Is A Sea Salt Spray and blow-dry using a diffuser. When the hair is curled allow it to cool, then comb with fingers, and then place the beaded veil on top, and fix it in place with pins that cannot be seen.

It take me back to this bride I was following on Instagram who had a moonlit garden wedding and wore this look with a sheer cape. She was a goddess and she felt like a goddess. This style is not for everybody but when it speaks to you… lean in.

Make the dress simple and the headpiece do the talking. Trust me, everyone will be talking about it.

Playful Bows for the Dreamy Bridesmaid

There is a fanciful touch of flowing down hair in two over-sized bows of satin, which are arranged just above the ears. The vintage-flared waves and the soft vanilla blonde color make it perfect on a long hair bridesmaid who wants to feel like a modern fairy-tale character, but not a full-blown princess. The style is childish, somewhat nostalgic, and entirely Pinterest-friendly.

fall-wedding-hairstyles-playful-bows-dreamy-bridesmaid
Styling is low-maintenance but needs shine. Apply Amika The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray to hold and bounce. Style, then add bows using small clips or elastics that are fastened using ribbons. Choose satin to fit the mood of fall material such as silk, tulle or velvet.

The thing I love about this is that it does not take itself too seriously and yet, it still feels purposeful. This is the best illustration of what a hairstylist once said to me, details make the difference. The whole story of the style is modified by those little bows.

They are ideal to wear as bridesmaid curls or even a guest simple look that is still romantic and feminine. And speaking of which, who doesn?t love a ribbon moment?
