Inspired by our B-town sensations, we recommend some of the most elegant and sophisticated hairstyles that can complement each of your wedding ceremonies. So bookmark these celebrity-inspired chic hairstyles to complement every wedding ensemble.

Natural, flowy hairstyle for Roka 

A roka ceremony symbolises simplicity and minimalism. A clean and minimalistic, natural-looking hairstyle, like the one Athiya Shetty donned, is ideal for this function. Her open hair with soft braids on both sides add an elegant charm to the look. The best part? This subtle and clean hairdo works on both long and short hair and it is easy to recreate it.

How to style

Start with clean, washed hair. Detangle, blow dry and apply a serum if you have frizzy hair. Create a middle partition with a tail comb and divide your hair into two equal sections. Then, start by taking a small section of your hair near the middle partition to follow down the soft braides. Repeat the same on the other side. Then clip the two braids together. Leave the rest of your hair loose and flowing back or over your shoulder.

Floral dominance all the way for mehendi and haldi ceremonies

Incorporating floral elements can be a great way to add a festive vibe to the mehendi and haldi ceremony. It will give a fresh natural charm to the bright outfits.

How to style it?

Begin by dividing your hair neatly into two equal sections. Create soft twists and curls from the top of the partition till the end of the ear on both sides for the first layer of the hairstyle and secure it with hair clips. Then, take a large section of hair at the back to continue the twists but this time, make tight twills on the back of the soft curls. Ensure great volume to these parts of the twills. Remove the hair clip and gather all the remaining hair from the lengths. Use the hair to wrap around and tie all the hair together into a ponytail. You can use a curler to achieve soft waves on your ponytail hair. Lastly, position the flower tiara at the base of the tight twirls to complete the fresh floral look.

Curly magic for cocktail soiree

Janhvi Kapoor's stunning look is the kind of outfit and hair match you need for the glamorous sangeet evening. The sleek diamond tiara can help you add a touch of elegance while the open hair with curls can be a perfect element for effortless beauty. So get ready to achieve this glam look by simply following the steps listed below. 

How to style it?

Start by applying a smoothing hair serum for a clean and sleek look to the hair. Create a middle parting, take small sections of hair from both sides and secure it at the back of your head with a clip for an organised base for the diamond tiara to settle in your hair. Leave the rest of the hair open. Use a curler to form soft curls. Place the diamond tiara at the base of the hair sections pinned at the back of your head. Then grace the invitees with your godly presence with this look.

Messy elegenace for feras

Here's a hairdo inspo from Bollywood sensation, Alia Bhatt. Her Met Gala hairstyle embodied the true essence of Indian tradition. This style paired with the mang tika and other contemporary hair accessories enhance the look. A messy knotted bun with pretty hair accessories is the way to go.

How to style it?

Start by brushing the hair and create a middle parting with the tail comb. Proceed by applying a small amount of texturising spray after brushing to ensure an easier styling process. Then, use a curler to create soft curls. Divide the hair into three different sections and make messy braids on all three divisions. Take all three braids and tie them around in a messy bun (do not worry about the hair coming out; it is the whole point of this messy look). Pluck out a few strands from the front near the middle partition. Finally, place the stone-studded mathapatti alongside the middle partition and secure it with bobby pins. Add another stone-studded headpiece at the base of the messy bun to achieve the most sophisticated Indian hair look for your wedding.

Reception

This sleek look by Ananya Panday from the Femina Awards show is pure glamour. It is perfect for a reception look. It can enhance your facial features and highlight your attire, making you stand out effortlessly. This style can be adapted to different hair lengths and face shapes due to its effortlessness. 

How to style it?

Begin by applying a styling cream at the ends of the hair to remove frizziness. Then move on with a blow-dry to achieve a clean and shiny look. Use a tooth comb to create a side partition and move your hair to the other side and tuck it behind your ears. You can discreetly secure the hair with bobby pins right behind your ear. Once you have made sure that your hair is comfortably settled behind your ears, use a sleek comb to gently smooth down any stray hair. Finally, complete your hairstyle, with a hold hairspray and keep the hair in place throughout the event.
