Space buns bring a playful yet sophisticated energy that makes brides feel confident and uniquely themselves on their big day. This editorial-worthy style frames your face beautifully while giving you that perfect balance between whimsical charm and bridal elegance. When you want to feel both romantic and a little daring, space buns deliver that unforgettable 'this is so me' moment.
Beyond the gorgeous aesthetic, space buns are incredibly practical for all-day wear from ceremony through reception dancing. The double-bun structure keeps hair secure and off your neck, which means no wilting in heat or humidity. They work beautifully with veils, leave room for statement earrings to shine, and photograph stunningly from every angle—front, side, and back.

Yes, space buns work beautifully with veils attached at the crown between the buns or beneath them at the nape. Cathedral and birdcage veils are particularly stunning with this style.
Not at all when styled with intention! Sleek, polished buns with elegant accessories like pearls or a cathedral veil create a high-fashion bridal look. It's all about the finishing touches and execution.
