Vintage Wedding Hairstyles For Retro-Loving Brides

Wedding Hairstyles


Wedding Hairstyles. Vintage wedding hairstyles have always been a popular choice for brides who love classic and glamorous looks, first popularized by silver screen legends like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Brigitte Bardot. Styles like big and voluminous Old Hollywood waves, victory rolls, and intricately adorned hairdos with vintage pins and hair clips are the perfect options for weddings as these styles truly stand the test of time. Even if these styles are different from your everyday look, they will feel extra special and take shape on your big day.

If you're a bride who loves all things retro, chances are your wedding already has some timeless touches that pay homage to your favorite decade, whether it's the roaring '20s or the swinging '60s. Classic wedding hairstyles complement the vintage vision, along with romantic makeup details that align with the era.

From bouffants to finger waves, we've gathered the best vintage-inspired wedding hairstyles for brides who adore retro styles.

Heritage Fascinator Hat

Elevate an updo by adding a shimmering fascinator hat on top, like the Art Deco-inspired accessory above. Face-framing haircuts add a modern touch to this bridal look, creating the perfect blend of old and new styles.

Soft and Shiny Waves

Shoulder-length hairstyles were once a trend. Add some body to your lob with soft waves, which can be achieved by curling your hair with a large barrel curling wand or sleeping with large rollers. Brush through to create flowing, cascading waves.

Classic Barrel Curls

Few wedding hairstyles can rival the luxury and opulence of Old Hollywood waves. Popularized by film stars like Veronica Lake, these sleek retro waves can be achieved with a large barrel curling iron, curling the hair all the way to the ends. Set the curls by pinning them and allow them to cool completely before brushing them out with your fingers.

Beautiful Center Part

Soft and loose curls and a sleek center part scream vintage luxury. A pair of long pearl earrings elevates the retro aesthetic for maximum impact.

Hooded Coif

Inspired by the Harlem Renaissance, this Brooklyn couple wanted their wedding day to reflect their love for 1930s style. This Jazz Age-inspired update, topped with an embroidered coif from New York Vintage, perfectly matches their billowing gowns.

Bodacious Beehive Bun

This voluminous bridal beehive is part beehive, part ballerina, and entirely retro-stylish. The cool bangs add a '60s flair and perfectly complement the neckline of the dress.


Ringlet Bombshell

A modern take on Old Hollywood waves, these tight and glossy ringlets will complement any vintage wedding aesthetic. The style also pairs well with bombshell makeup and contemporary nude lips.


Cascading Waves


We love everything about this stunning bridal look, which feels both timeless and ethereal. The soft, flowing waves frame the bride's beautiful features while complementing the voluminous and cheerful wedding gown.


Pearl-Adorned Headband

This oversized pearl headband adds glossy texture, which is especially noteworthy when wearing a long-sleeved bridal gown. The sleek swept-back updo and subdued eye makeup enhance the classic and sophisticated aesthetic.


Baby's Breath Touch

We adore a touch of freshness in a bridal hairstyle. This beautiful bride highlights her thick chignon with a sweet baby's breath pose, complementing the organic bouquet.


With these gorgeous bridal hairstyles, you can embrace your love for all things retro and let your vintage-inspired vision shine on your special day. Whether you opt for a romantic updo, glamorous waves, or chic buns, these vintage hairstyles add an elegant and timeless touch to your bridal look.
