Bridesmaids! Don’t let the bride stick you with a stuffy updo for the millionth time. At your next wedding try something modern and fresh. FYI there’s nothing wrong with being fashion forward at a wedding, and our edit of beautifully crafted waves and updos will give you all the inspiration you need. Banish those stiff prom curls and hair-sprayed chignons, and replace them with matte, brushed out waves and textured top knots. If you’re being forced to wear a hair accessory, keep the styling to a minimum, wearing your updo lower on your head to look less bride, more bridesmaid. We love the bohemian hair styling in the new Coast bridal campaign, but if you need a little more inspo, taking a browse through some of your favourite new fashion campaigns is a great place to start.
