For a long time, choosing the bride’s hairstyle seemed to imply looking for something completely different from what we would wear any other day. Elaborate updos, perfectly constructed waves, or a mane worked until it could hardly move. However, proposals for 2027 seem to move in exactly the opposite direction.
The latest bridal collections show hair that is much freer, where natural texture takes center stage and waves lose definition. But naturalness will not be the only option. At the opposite end, impeccably polished low buns appear as well, with a defined part and very clean finishes, reclaiming a far more minimalist elegance.
What is interesting is precisely that coexistence. There no longer seems to exist a single “bridal hairstyle.” A long mane with slightly undone waves can be as special as a perfectly constructed updo, and even a simple bob proves that it is not necessary to change cut or let the hair grow for months to achieve a sophisticated bridal look.
Natural waves will be the main protagonists
If there is a trend that repeats itself, it is the waves that are much less marked. The Hayley Paige proposal is a good example: a long mane with movement, light volume, and open waves that seem to arise from the hair’s own texture.

They are not the classic waves perfectly identical that for years have dominated bridal hairstyles. Here what matters is precisely the opposite: that the hair moves, that each strand has a slightly different shape and that the result does not look too elaborate.
It is a hairstyle especially flattering for those who typically wear their hair loose and do not want to feel dressed up on their wedding day. The key will be to work well on shine, control frizz, and ensure that the texture lasts for hours without losing that natural appearance.
The bob can also be a bridal hairstyle
Another of the most interesting ideas from the 2027 collections is that short hair no longer needs a special transformation to look bridal. In Allure, a jaw-length bob is worn with a side part, soft volume and the ends slightly turned outward.
It has a certain retro vibe, but without being overly constructed. And it shows that a good cut can become, by itself, the perfect wedding hairstyle.

Moreover, the veil and earrings provide all the bridal component that the ensemble needs. An especially interesting formula for brides who regularly wear a bob and do not want to resort to extensions or grow out the hair only to be able to pull it back.
The mane is worn even slightly undone
Lalanza takes that search for naturalness even further with a long mane of irregular texture, a central part, and barely defined waves. The result is closer to air-dried hair than to the classic salon wave, although clearly there is work behind to achieve that finish.

And there lies one of the most important changes we could see in the bridal hairstyles of 2027. There is no longer a requirement that every strand stay in place.
Movement, some looser strands, and a less uniform texture can make the result even more modern. Especially when combined with simple dresses, light fabrics, or delicate jewelry, because it lends the look a much less rigid feel.
The low bun will continue to be the great classic
But the rise of natural manes does not mean that updos vanish. The low bun will continue to be one of the most elegant choices for getting married, and Markarian proposes precisely the opposite of undone waves: a perfectly defined center part, polished hair, and a small bun positioned at the nape of the neck.

It is a visually simple hairstyle, but very precise. And precisely that cleanness makes it work especially well with strapless gowns, open-back designs, or silhouettes with a lot of volume.
It also allows giving all the prominence to the earrings, to the makeup, or to the gown itself. Instead of competing with the look, the hair basically disappears to frame the face and clear the shoulders.
