When you look up ‘wedding hairstyles‘, so much of what you find is carefully coiffed upstyles, ornate braids, elegant chignons, or glamorous sculpted waves.
And while they're all gorgeous, if you're the kind of bride who's looking for something cool, casual, and a little more ‘you' for your big day, those styles certainly won't be for you.
For fashion brides, it's all about looking effortlessly undone, avoiding overworked looks and letting your natural tresses and personal style do the talking.

Ugh, we can't choose a favourite!
Of course, for some of us, simply wearing your hair down or throwing it up in a messy bun might not seem fancy enough for the occasion, but add a gorgeous while dress, some killer jewellery, and a dash of confidence, and you, cool bride, can pull off whatever look you want in style!
