Wedding Hairstyle for Older Women

Updo with Swirls

A soft girly look that we can pull off well into our 50s. Leave a strand of hair, either to one side or both sides, to softly frame your face.

The swirls are curled and pinned in a circular formation at the top back of the head.

Soft Back Bun with Curls

This elegant do looks great if you have medium to long hair. Curl your hair and pin it back softly. Leave volume at the sides and create a soft beehive at the top for more oomph.

Short Side Part Bob

Short bobs are always in style. Add some flair by side-parting and adding volume, and you’ll look spectacular and stylish at the event.

Curls Updo Bun

If you have longer hair, softly slide it into a high ponytail and add a hairpiece to create a voluminous updo.

Slick Pulled Back Style

This is a super chic and elegant way to style your short or medium-length hair for a wedding. Use a hair product to combat flyaways and to keep your beautiful do in place.

Chic Beehive

Beehives have been around for decades and are still fashionable. The late Amy Whinehouse brought back the beehive into mainstream fashion trends many years ago. Add a hairpiece to bump up the beehive as much as you want.

Accessorize with a Feather

Pull your hair back into a bun and add a feather hair accessory to glamorize your look.

Simple Side Flower

A simple flower on one side can liven your look dramatically. You can add a natural flower or purchase a flower hair accessory.

Messy Updo with Bangs

Messy buns are super trendy and are sported at events like weddings all the time. The “messy” look is actually well-placed strands of hair that give you a relaxed (but still chic) look.

Chic Low Bun with Flowers

This is a very classic wedding hairstyle look. Create a bun at the nape of the neck and accessorize it with flowers.
