Zoe Kravitz braids bring an effortlessly chic, bohemian elegance that makes brides feel like the most authentic version of themselves on their wedding day. This style radiates quiet confidence and modern romance, creating a timeless look that photographs beautifully from every angle. It's the perfect choice for brides who want to honor their natural texture while still feeling polished and special.
Beyond the beauty, these braids are incredibly practical for all-day wear—they stay secure through vows, dancing, and emotional hugs without constant touch-ups. The style works seamlessly with veils, won't wilt in humidity, and actually looks better as the day goes on, developing that coveted 'lived-in' texture. Plus, it keeps hair off your face and neck, so you stay comfortable from morning prep to the last dance.

Start with second-day hair or use dry shampoo for grip
Apply texturizing spray before braiding for lasting hold and volume
Set completed style with flexible-hold hairspray and light misting
Sleep in a silk bonnet if styling the night before
Prep hair with texturizing spray on slightly damp or second-day hair to create grip and natural volume.
Create a deep side part or center part depending on preference, then section hair into multiple zones for braiding.
Braid small to medium sections using three-strand or cornrow technique, keeping tension consistent but not too tight for a softer finish.
Secure each braid with clear elastics, then arrange braids into your desired pattern—loose down the back, wrapped into a low bun, or half-up style.
Gently tug at braids to loosen for romantic texture, add accessories or florals, and set with flexible hairspray for all-day hold.

Absolutely! The braiding technique actually creates the illusion of fuller, thicker hair. Use a volumizing mousse at the roots and gently pancake the braids for extra dimension.
These braids are incredibly long-lasting and can hold beautifully for 12+ hours, even through dancing and humidity. In fact, they often look even better as they naturally loosen throughout the celebration.
Yes! Many brides have their braids done the night before and simply refresh with a bit of spray and add accessories in the morning. Sleep in a silk bonnet to preserve the style.
Zoe Kravitz braids are incredibly veil-friendly since they lie flat and can be styled around the veil attachment point. Cathedral veils and Juliet caps look especially stunning with this bohemian braid look.
