Quick Facts

Why Brides Love The Bridal Updo With Bangs

There's something incredibly romantic about soft bangs framing your face while your hair is elegantly swept up—it's the perfect balance of polished and playful. Brides choose this style because it highlights their eyes and cheekbones while keeping the overall look sophisticated and timeless. You'll feel confident knowing your hair won't fall in your face during vows or while you're dancing the night away.

Beyond the beauty factor, this style is wonderfully practical for all-day wear. The updo stays secure through hours of celebrating, works seamlessly with any veil style, and photographs beautifully from every angle. Whether you're getting married outdoors in the breeze or in a formal ballroom, your bangs and updo will stay picture-perfect from first look to last dance.

Prep & Longevity Tips

How To Create A Bridal Updo With Bangs

  1. Prep the Hair

    Prep hair with volumizing mousse on damp hair, then blow-dry bangs forward and the rest back for direction.

  2. Set Your Bangs

    Style your bangs with a round brush or flat iron to your preferred shape, then set with light hairspray.

  3. Create the Base Structure

    Gather hair at the crown and secure into a ponytail or twist sections back, leaving bangs free.

  4. Build the Updo

    Twist or roll the ponytail into a low bun, French twist, or textured chignon, pinning as you go.

  5. Finish and Soften

    Secure with U-pins, gently pull pieces for soft texture, and mist with flexible-hold hairspray for all-day romance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a bridal updo with bangs work for my thin hair?

Absolutely! Use a volumizing powder at the roots and consider adding clip-in extensions just for the updo section. Your bangs will add beautiful dimension and frame your face while the updo creates the illusion of fullness.

Can I wear a veil with bangs, or will it mess them up?

Yes, you can definitely wear a veil! Attach it below the updo rather than on top, and use a blusher style that drapes over without pressing down on your bangs. Your hairstylist can position it perfectly so nothing gets flattened.

What if my bangs are still growing out or uneven?

Growing-out bangs actually work beautifully with this style—just sweep them softly to the side or incorporate them into face-framing pieces. Your stylist can work with whatever length you have and make it look intentional and romantic.

How do I keep my bangs from getting oily or flat during a long wedding day?

Apply dry shampoo to your bangs before styling as a preventative measure, and keep blotting papers and a small powder compact handy. A quick refresh in the bathroom between ceremony and reception takes just seconds and keeps them fresh.
