2025 Bridal Hair Trends

Bridal hairstyle trends are evolving to showcase styles of the modern bride. The focus is to enhance natural beauty, celebrate individuality and include some artistic features. There is a trend to compliment every brides dream vision, whether you are more about elegance or bold statements.

The Sleek Bun
The sleek bun is already seen in 2024, but I believe this will definitely be continuing for 2025. Defined by its refined elegance, this style is pure sophistication. Its simplicity highlights a soft look that remains formal enough for any bride.

Who it’s perfect for: If your style is elegance, a sleek bun is the perfect choice for your big day. The simplicity of the look will stand the test of time. This style is perfect for the bride who wants to feel like herself but elevated. Maybe you often keep your hair tied back, with a sleeker finish already, so this look feels like you more.

Hollywood Waves
Glamorous, defined waves create a timeless look that gives sophistication. Hollywood waves are a timeless red carpet look, and the addition of a centre part has always been a favourite for brides for its ability to create balance and symmetry.

Who it’s perfect for: Hollywood waves are perfect for brides with longer hair, as this length allows for the full effect of the cascading waves. This style is best suited for those seeking a glamorous and more elevated appearance. You can opt for the fronts to be tucked behind your ears or flowing to the side, depending on your preference. Hollywood waves will make you feel like a star on your big day.

Ballet Inspired Ponytails
Bows are appearing in many places beyond Christmas presents this year, and this trend is set to continue. If you’re looking for a hairstyle that is more feminine, this could be the look for you. This wedding hair trend is stunning and versatile, allowing you to adorn your hair with a variety of accessories, from bows to pearl bobby pins, to complete the look and bring in a modern vibe.

Who it’s perfect for: If you want to add a touch of personality to your wedding hairstyle, this trend is for you. More brides are adding bows into their hair to enhance their overall look. Accessories work well for all hair types, and the right one can complement the dress beautifully, tying the whole look together.

Classic Updos with a Modern Twist
High updos are making a comeback with a modern twist. Traditional updos are being reinvented with modern touches. Think low chignons with textured volume and twisted updos. Kim Kardashian vibes with a bit of sexy up top.

Who it’s perfect for: This look is perfect for the bride who wants to feel sexy and make a statement on her wedding day. While ideal for long hair, the top knot can work with various hair textures, from curly and straight to fine or thick.

Effortless Waves
Soft curls remain a favourite in 2025, and their versatility is celebrated. Natural, loose waves are a timeless look that’s gaining even more popularity. Brides are opting for soft, beachy waves that give a relaxed vibe feeling a little more natural.

Who it’s perfect for: Soft curls are perfect for brides who adore classic bridal hairstyles. They offer a timeless appeal and can be a lifesaver for those who prefer minimal product and little styling on their wedding day.

WHY we're the perfect match

Paige did makeup for my wedding in Queenstown, and she was incredible. I wanted the no makeup look, she got the brief and did a beautiful job. I was complimented all throughout the day. It is such a shame we are leaving New Zealand soon as I would definitely be seeing Paige again.

Paige is an incredible makeup artist, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked in, she was calm and professional. I didn't have time for a makeup trial with Paige, due to travelling from Australia, but she listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what to do. I honestly felt so beautiful, I got so many compliments from guests at how flawless my makeup looked.

ELLA

Paige was exceptional and I was beyond happy with my makeup look. She did such a beautiful job for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding. She is very friendly and it was lovely to spend the morning with her too. I will only go back to Paige for any future makeup needs.

I was incredibly lucky to have Paige as my makeup artist for my wedding. She did such an amazing job not only on myself, but for my bridesmaids too. I had a trial with Paige a few months prior to the wedding, and all correspondence with Paige was easy and she put at ease all of my concerns. I absolutely loved my makeup on the day. If you need your makeup done for any special occasion or event, I would highly recommend Paige.
