Wedding Hair Trend: Braids & Plaits

Big news on the red carpet at the moment, there's no surprise that romantic braids and plaits are ideal for weddings too. Whether you choose a ruffled, textured braid to match a flowing lace dress, or wish for something sculptural and tight to work within a high-glamour look, this hair style is all kinds of wonderful. It's so much more than just a standard French braid situation too - play with different partings, offset tighter braids with softer elements for balance, or channel a young Kate Moss with twists instead of left-over-right plaits.

Regardless if you're in the throes of wedding planning or not, certain plaits will also become your new best friend any place where high temperatures are accompanied by 100% humidity. No hair strands sticking to skin to contend with! Practice now, so you've got your own look down come summer.

Here are some of our favourite styles to channel while planning your wedding day look.
