Feel tall and proud when you’ve got this simple yet outstanding top knot bun style! Get your strands off your pretty face to show off your glam make-up.
#2: Champagne Blonde Messy Top Knot
A champagne blonde messy top knot is one of the most trending hairstyles currently. I suggest a Bardot bang and face-framing to soften your facial features. Any hair texture can work but finer, dimensional blonde is the most ideal. The drawback to thicker, darker hair is you get to see less detail on the top knot.
#3: Formal Bun Updo with Hair Accessories
A formal bun updo with hair accessories is the right choice for you. Especially if you’re a dimensional blonde whose hair is fine. Search no further, if your hair has a soft texture. You can solve this issue by gathering your hair into a loose, high ponytail. Then, pinch small sections to create peaks. Twist and pin into a bun shape with the Kenra medium-hold hairspray.
#4: Elegant High Bun with Middle-Parted Bangs
When my clients ask for a formal style that’s not “too formal,” I suggest an elegant high bun with middle parted bangs. If you’re looking to try this style at home, the best way to get started is by properly prepping your hair. Don’t be afraid to use product! Volumizers and hairsprays are your friends for this style.
#5: Twisted Low Bun
All the waves and the swirls in this sophisticated low bun hairdo give off a sexy vibe! Gorgeously matches a bridesmaid or a prom queen.
#6: Romantic Bun with Pearl Accessories
A romantic bun with pearl accessories is perfect for a wedding. I recommend looks like this for all my brides on their big day.
#7: Easy Messy Bun
Gift yourself a low textured knot effortlessly made with the help of a hair donut! This easy messy bun style is one you can wear everyday and even in long gown events.
#8: Simple Bun
Q&A with style creator, Aimee Renner Freelance Makeup Artist / Hairstylist @ Aimee & Co. in Auckland, New Zealand
How would you describe this look?
I’d call it a loose or ‘undone’ twisted simple bun hairdo. The greatest thing about it is that the twist shows off the different tones in the client’s hair and it looks more elaborate than it is.
Any advice for someone considering it?
It’s a great style when they want something up off their face which is a bit more casual and modern than some styles, but still looks polished and has some interest.
It would look great with any hair color, but one which has some variation of highlights (blondes) looks best I feel as it shows off the twist with different tones.
Also best with a length of at least just past shoulder length to around bra strap length. Otherwise, if it’s too short there’s not enough hair in the bun. If it’s too long there doesn’t tend to be the layers to give it texture, and the bun becomes too heavy and large.
I would recommend a styling product like a volumizing powder to give the hair some texture and to create some volume. I would dust it through the crown and backcomb a little to create some height and then also through the pony before you twist it and piece it apart (before securing with Bobby pins and hair spray).
By pulling pieces out around the front of the face, it furthers the relaxed vibe.

How would you describe this look?
Bows and bridal up-dos are two key wedding trends for this year, so this bow bun hairstyle really is the perfect combination. It’s elegant, modern, and effortlessly romantic. Its versatility means you can wear the hairstyle with or without a veil. The choice is yours but both will look equally gorgeous. If you choose not to wear a veil with this hairstyle, instead opt for some statement bridal accessories to turn heads as you walk down the aisle. A pair of chandelier earrings are all you need to add a fabulous finishing touch to this look.
Any advice for someone considering it?
This wedding hairstyle is designed for the bride who isn’t afraid to stand out from the crowd and wants to make a statement with her bridal look. Does this sound like you? Then you’ll need hair that is shoulder-length or longer to achieve this detailed look. Ensure you establish a decent haircare routine ahead of the big day so that it is conditioned, glossy, and wedding-ready. If you have wild hair that cannot be tamed, you’ll be using a lot of hair spray and hairpins to secure the look in place. However, this beautiful bridal hairstyle also means you will keep any pesky flyaways at bay. What’s not to love?!
