Bridesmaid hairdo - suggestions?

bearhugs

Hey, I've been asked to be a bridesmaid at a relatives wedding, and we are allowed to get our hair done however we want. Been looking online, just wondering if anyone has any ideas? Would rather half up half down to all up cos I think all up is a bit severe for me. Would be grateful for any help, thanks.

I like the relaxed wavy look so either of these would be lovely, my fav being Evas as its a bit more structured if you know what i mean.Its a fine line between looking elegant and not messy/informal with half up half down hair and being bridesmaid.

I think this would be lovely,if your hair isn't as long you could use some clip in extensions.

I would suggest putting on the dress and taking a photo of yourself before going to the hairdressers. When my aunt got married she allowed a her bridemaids do their hair anyway they wanted. One of the ladies had her hair done in a lovely style but it did not suit the style and neckline of the dress she was wearing. She was upset about it all day.

Thanks for all the suggestions, some fab pics here! Am thinking of a kind of one sided do now, if that makes sense, because the dress is one shouldered. One of the other bridesmaids is getting a waterfall braid which is also gorgeous.

I love the one-sided styles, like the Taylor Swift picture. They're very elegant but aren't overly fussy. I can't stand fussy up-styles, I'd be patting my hair for the whole day making sure everything is still in place! Another alternative, which is quite similar, is a side ponytail. Again, they're very simple but would look beautiful with a one-shouldered dress.
