Bridal Hairstyles For Naturally Curly Hair

There's a hidden celebrity among the bridal hairstyles for naturally curly hair in our gallery.

Her name is Carol Alt, and you'll find a whole gallery devoted to her on our Curly Hair Celebrity page.

Here, in the first picture of the middle row, she wears one of the most ornate wedding outfits you could imagine. And she matches it with one of the simplest bridal hair styles.

Emerging from beneath a wide brimmed lacework hat, her wavy brown hair is tucked behind her ears and falls softly to her shoulders. Dusty pink flowers on one side complete this stunning tribute to antique wedding style.

Nothing quite so exotic exists among our remaining bridal hairstyles for naturally curly hair, but there are plenty of wedding styles here to admire and think about.

Long Bridal Hairstyles for Naturally Curly Hair

Well worth a look is the natural, luxurious hair of the bride in the top row's middle picture.

This woman's hair is drawn back tightly from the face and raised behind, but then flows down her back in loose, tumbling torrents of glossy curls. Part of this cascade is diverted so that rich brunette ringlets stream forward over her shoulders and breast.

It's almost a half up half down style - and this notion is echoed in two more pictures at opposite ends of the gallery.

The first picture in the top row, and the last picture in the bottom row, show how two brides can use similar ideas and still produce strikingly different curly hairstyles.

Part of the difference is the hair texture itself, and that texture virtually dictates the remaining choices for both these bridal hairstyles for naturally curly hair.

The first picture is a delightfully loose arrangement of long, wavy blonde hair that tucks behind the ear on one side and falls prettily forward on the other. The length is half gathered behind and half left free in waves that ripple down the bride's neck and back. Tiny, sparkling decorations suggest the flowers of a Spring wedding.

The similarly half up half down style at the end of the gallery takes a more determinedly curly texture and arranges it to take advantage of the patterns it can build in the air around the face and shoulders of a lovely bride.

This time the bride's hair is gathered high up at the back of the head, so that her curls dance naturally in the air above her. A small tiara helps draw the eyes there. But fully half her long curly hair flows down behind her in warm tones that complement the skin of her neck, shoulders and back.

Diagonally above her in the gallery, in the fourth picture of the middle row, yet another wedding hair style relies on the simplicity of long, loose curly hair for all its elegance and beauty.

The top row has yet another pair of long, loose, bridal hairstyles for naturally curly hair.

The fourth and fifth pictures incorporate veils, but the hair has prominence in both photos. A white flower sits high upon the first style - a blonde, very curly bridal do - while small white flowers highlight the second bride's slightly raised, more wavy hair.

Both styles allow the bride's hair to fall naturally to the shoulders, as do the final long curly wedding hairdos of our gallery - pictures two and four in the bottom row.

Updo Bridal Hairstyles for Naturally Curly Hair

The six remaining bridal hairstyles for naturally curly hair are updos.

The top row's second picture shows very traditional curly wedding updo. A veil attaches to the hair just where a floral band gathers in the raised curls at the back. Delicate strands fall here and there around the bride's face.

Just as traditional are the curly updos shown in the bottom row's first and third photos. They feature careful arrangements of hair raised at the back of the head and decorated with small white flowers or trinkets. Loose strands have been placed with infinite care so as to soften the bride's face.

The middle picture in the middle row captures four beautiful hair styles in a single group. This photograph shows not only a bridal hairstyle for naturally curly hair, but naturally curly hairstyles for bridesmaids as well.

Our last two updos are in the second and fifth pictures of middle row. They represent a very different, much less formal approach.

The second picture in the row shows a loose, casual updo of blonde hair, using highlights and lowlights to accentuate its drama and movement.

The middle row's last picture reveals a very beautiful wedding style indeed. Wavy blonde hair, drawn back and upwards so naturally that nothing seems to support it, floats in the air beyond a red tiara.

Fifteen bridal hairstyles for naturally curly hair. And that's a wrap.

For another angle on this big and beautiful updo, see the last photo in the gallery.

An Arty Big and Curly Wedding Updo

In the middle of the second row is a big, teased out and tousled curly wedding updo with a simple band at the forehead, to keep the bride's face free of straying curls.

It's an arty sort of style which, on the face of it, might not appeal to some. But don't dismiss it out of hand, because it's amazing what a smile can achieve.

A Romantic Big and Curly Wedding Updo

And beneath this picture, in the third row, waits a big and curly, utterly romantic wedding updo, a dreamy hair style that frames the bride's face between sinuous blonde spirals.

A garland of flowers is woven into the crown.

This trio of photos is flanked by a dozen more pictures of wedding updos, all of them big, all of them curly, and not one of them quite like any other.

Eleven More Big and Curly Wedding Updos

These bridal hair styles are awe-inspiring, and not just because they're big and curly. They're beautiful wedding updos in their own right.

And they form a gallery of contrasts ...

You move your gaze along the top row, from a raised and exquisitely engineered bridal hair style in red, to a loosely styled curly blonde updo two pictures further on ...

From a sober, traditional picture like the first in the top row - a tall dark wedding updo garlanded with frangipani - your eye drifts to the wild, exciting vision at the end of the second row - a curly blonde, big and boisterous, exuberant bridal updo ...

Along the way other pictures claim your attention, and before you know it you're happily heading for a huge hymeneal high-rise hairdo, and a curly one at that!

Maybe.

But your wedding is a big day, so why not consider a big and curly wedding updo?
