Quick Facts

Why Brides Love The Side Swept Curls Wedding

Side swept curls give you that red-carpet glamour while still feeling authentically bridal. There's something magical about how they frame your face asymmetrically, drawing attention to your best features while creating an effortlessly romantic silhouette that photographs beautifully from every angle.

Beyond the stunning aesthetic, this style is surprisingly practical for your big day. The curls stay secured to one side, meaning they won't shift during windy outdoor ceremonies or block your face during those essential first kiss photos. Plus, the structure holds up beautifully under veils and through hours of dancing, so you'll look as gorgeous at midnight as you did walking down the aisle.

Prep & Longevity Tips

How To Create A Side Swept Curls Wedding

  1. Prep the Hair

    Prep hair with heat protectant and texturizing mousse, then blow dry with a round brush for smooth volume.

  2. Create the Curls

    Use a 1.5-inch curling iron to create loose vertical curls throughout, curling away from your face for a natural flow.

  3. Establish the Side Part

    Create a deep side part on your preferred side, brushing hair gently to one side while maintaining curl definition.

  4. Secure the Style

    Pin curls strategically behind the ear and along the nape using bobby pins that match your hair color for invisible hold.

  5. Finish and Soften

    Gently loosen curls with fingertips for romantic softness, then mist with flexible hairspray and add your chosen accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will side swept curls work for my thin, fine hair?

Absolutely! The curling process adds body and dimension, while strategic teasing at the crown creates the illusion of thickness. Using volumizing products beforehand ensures the style looks full and luxurious all day.

How do I keep side swept curls from falling flat during an outdoor wedding?

The key is using a strong-hold texturizing spray before curling and plenty of hidden bobby pins along the swept side. Finish with a weather-resistant hairspray designed for humidity control.

Can I wear a cathedral veil with side swept curls?

Yes, they pair beautifully! Position the veil at your crown rather than the side, so it drapes elegantly without disrupting the asymmetrical curl placement.

Is this style too formal for a casual beach wedding?

Not at all—simply loosen the curls more and skip heavy accessories for a relaxed, bohemian version. The side sweep actually works perfectly with the effortless vibe of beach ceremonies.
