Micro braids bring an ethereal, romantic quality that makes brides feel like absolute royalty on their wedding day. The intricate detail creates a timeless elegance that photographs beautifully from every angle, giving you that confidence boost when all eyes are on you. There's something magical about how delicate braids can transform your entire bridal presence into something truly unforgettable.
Beyond the stunning visual impact, micro braids are incredibly practical for a long wedding day. They hold beautifully through humidity, dancing, and endless hugs without losing their shape or requiring constant touch-ups. The style works seamlessly with veils and accessories, staying comfortable from your first look through your last dance, so you can focus on celebrating rather than worrying about your hair.

Absolutely! Micro braids actually create the illusion of fuller, thicker hair by adding texture and dimension. Your stylist can backcomb at the roots for extra volume before braiding.
You'll need at least shoulder-length hair for most micro braid styles. If your hair is shorter, clip-in extensions blend beautifully and give you the length needed for intricate braiding.
Yes, when properly secured with small elastics and strategic pinning, micro braids are extremely stable. They're one of the most reliable styles for long wedding days, holding through dancing and celebrations.
Book your trial at least 2-3 months before your wedding, as micro braids require significant time and skill. This gives you time for adjustments and ensures your stylist can perfect the look.
