Quick Facts

Why Brides Love The Bohemian Wedding Updo

The bohemian wedding updo captures that dreamy, effortless romance every bride imagines for her big day. It's the perfect balance between polished and free-spirited, giving you confidence that your look will feel authentically you while still photograph beautifully. There's something timeless about those soft, textured tendrils framing your face—it whispers elegance without trying too hard.

Beyond the beauty, this style is incredibly practical for a full day of celebrating. The secure base means you won't worry about your hair falling during vows or first dances, while the relaxed texture makes it naturally forgiving in wind or humidity. It pairs seamlessly with veils, flower crowns, and delicate accessories, and the slightly undone finish actually looks better as the day goes on.

Prep & Longevity Tips

How To Create A Bohemian Wedding Updo

  1. Prep the Hair

    Prep hair with texturizing spray on slightly dirty hair, then create loose waves with a curling iron or wand.

  2. Section and Tease

    Section hair into three parts—crown, sides, and back—and gently tease the crown for soft volume.

  3. Build the Base

    Gather the back section into a low, loose ponytail or twist, leaving face-framing pieces out intentionally.

  4. Wrap and Pin

    Wrap sections around the base in a relaxed, organic way, pinning as you go without worrying about perfection.

  5. Finish and Soften

    Secure with crossed bobby pins, gently pull apart sections for texture, and mist with flexible-hold spray for romantic softness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the bohemian wedding updo work for thin or fine hair?

Absolutely! Teasing at the roots and using texturizing products creates the illusion of thickness and fullness. The intentionally loose, undone texture is actually more forgiving on fine hair than sleek styles.

Will this hairstyle hold up in outdoor or humid weather?

Yes, the bohemian updo is surprisingly weather-resistant because of its textured, relaxed nature. A good hairspray and strategic pinning keep it secure, while a little frizz or movement actually adds to the effortless look.

Can I wear a veil with a bohemian wedding updo?

Definitely! The updo sits low enough to attach a veil comfortably beneath it. Cathedral and fingertip veils work especially well and won't disturb the style when removed.

How far in advance should I do a hair trial for this style?

Plan your trial 2-3 months before the wedding so you have time to adjust accessories, placement, or texture. Bring inspiration photos and your veil to ensure everything works together beautifully.
