The 10 Wedding Hairstyles That Will Never Go Out of Style
Because Brisbane Brides Deserve Hair That Holds Up (Even in the Humidity)
Alright, Brisbane brides, we need to talk. You’ve got the dress, the venue, and maybe even the shoes (hopefully they’re comfy!), but let’s get real: the Queensland humidity isn’t here to play nice with your hair.
But don’t worry — whether you’re dreaming of a romantic updo, cascading waves, or a chic braid, we’ve got the wedding hairstyles that can stand up to the heat and keep you looking effortlessly gorgeous all day long. Ready to find the perfect look? Let’s dive in!
1. The Classic Low Chignon: Graceful and Fuss-Free
Ah, the low chignon — timeless, elegant, and humidity-friendly. This sleek, twisted bun sits at the nape of your neck, keeping your hair away from your face and off your sticky neck, let’s be honest. It’s perfect for showing off delicate necklines and back details on your dress.
Humidity Hack: Use a smoothing serum before styling, like Moroccan oil Treatment, and finish with a flexible hold hairspray like Schwarzkopf Flexible Hairspray to keep things sleek, not stiff.

2. Beachy Waves: Effortless, Like You Just Stepped Off a Yacht
Beachy waves are perfect for Brisbane brides who are planning an island wedding like at Tangalooma and want that “I woke up like this” vibe. They’re laid-back, romantic, and — bonus — they love a bit of humidity. When the air gets sticky, these waves just get a little more tousled.
Face Shape Tip: This style flatters every face shape. Seriously, you can’t go wrong.
Humidity Hack: Spritz some sea salt spray like Affinage Sea Salt Spray before curling, and finish with a light mist of texturising spray to keep that carefree vibe all day.

3. The Messy Bun: Chic, With a Side of “I Didn’t Try Too Hard”
Whoever said messy buns were just for lazy Sundays clearly never saw a bridal version. This look is soft, romantic, and — best of all — when the humidity tries to make it frizz, it just adds to the charm! Stray wisps? Totally intentional.
Face Shape Tip: Ideal for oval and heart-shaped faces. Add face-framing tendrils to soften the look.
Humidity Hack: Prep with a mousse like Wella EIMI to keep volume in check (it smells delish!). Finish with a flexible hold spray and let the Brisbane breeze do the rest!

4. Hollywood Glam Waves: Vintage Vibes That Wow
Channel your inner old-Hollywood starlet with these glossy, defined waves. Perfect for brides who want to feel red-carpet ready. Pair it with a deep side part and a bold lip, and you’ll feel unstoppable.
Dress Match: This look is made for classic, vintage-style gowns with clean lines.
Humidity Hack: Use a heat protectant like GHD Heat Protect Spray before curling and lock in the shape with Schwarzkopf got2b Glued Blasting Freeze Hairspray.

5. The Elegant Braided Crown: A Boho Dream Come True
If you’re going for those whimsical, fairy-tale vibes, a braided crown is your go-to. It keeps your hair off your face (essential in Brisbane heat) and gives you a romantic, ethereal look that works perfectly for garden or beach weddings.
Face Shape Tip: Round and square faces benefit from the added height this style creates.
Humidity Hack: Use a volume powder like KYK Magic Dust to keep the braid full and lived-in. A little frizz? Just adds to the boho charm!

6. Half-Up, Half-Down: Best of Both Worlds
Want the romance of flowing hair but still need it out of your face? Enter the half-up, half-down style. Add a twist, a braid, or a few flowers, and you’re golden. This look works whether your hair is sleek, wavy, or curly.
Dress Match: Ideal for dresses with intricate necklines or off-the-shoulder designs.
Humidity Hack: Prep with a strong hold volumising mousse like Wella EIMI and finish with a soft touch anti-frizz hairspray like Fudge URBAN iced raspberry & vanilla to hold the style without weighing it down. Again, thank me later as both these products smell absolutely delicious.

7. The Ponytail, But Make It Bridal
A bridal ponytail is anything but basic. Think sleek roots and voluminous waves or a softly curled low pony with a few face-framing strands. It’s polished, modern, and totally humidity-friendly.
Face Shape Tip: High ponies elongate round faces, while low ponies balance out long face shapes.
Humidity Hack: A smoothing shine serum like Natural Look Static Free FM keeps frizz at bay while maintaining that sleek finish.

8. Soft Romantic Updo: All the Feels
A low, loose updo with twists and tendrils gives you that dreamy, romantic look. Perfect for brides who want their hair up but not too structured. It’s relaxed, elegant, and oh-so-pretty.
Dress Match: Works beautifully with lace, tulle, or flowy fabrics.
Humidity Hack: Use a water free firm hold hairspray for all hair types like NAK HAIR Australia Fixation Finishing Spray to keep things in place and keeping the style workable all day.

9. Fishtail Braid: For the Mermaid Bride
This intricate, woven braid looks complex but gives off effortlessly cool vibes. Perfect for beach weddings or boho-chic celebrations. Plus, it holds up beautifully in humid weather.
Dress Match: Flowy, relaxed dresses or boho gowns.
Humidity Hack: Texturise with a dry shampoo like Batiste before braiding to give it grip. A little fuzz? It just makes it more mermaid-chic.

10. Sleek Straight Hair: Minimalist Magic
Sometimes, less is more. If you’re a no-fuss bride, sleek, straight hair with a center part is effortlessly modern. It works especially well with minimalist gowns and structured silhouettes.
