French Braid

Your classic ribbon curls will be modernized with a single French braid on one side of your part. It will also pull your hair away from your face, allowing you to show off your makeup.

Fuss-Free Fishtail

Although a fishtail braid appears complicated, it is a simple style for any maid of honor. Lightly pull on each portion after weaving your strands together and putting them in place for an undone look suitable for a laid-back affair.

Single Flower

The old saying less is more certainly can apply to your wedding day style. Rather than have a bunch of fluff and fancy hairstyles, your bridesmaids can add a single flower. Choose a vibrant color that matches your wedding theme and let their beauty shine.
