TIMELESS VINTAGE WEDDING HAIRSTYLES

Turn back the clock for your big day by styling your tresses into one of these breathtaking vintage wedding hairstyles.

Ahead of your nuptials, take inspiration from decades gone by to style your vintage wedding hair. Each era had screen sirens and starlets that added iconic looks to the hair hall of fame. Marilyn Monroe’s bombshell tight curls, Veronica Lake’s glamourous Hollywood waves, Betty Grable’s victory rolls – all of them beautiful, all of them totally bridal.

Cast your mind back over the decades to find the perfect vintage bridal hairstyle for you. The 1930s were soft and romantic, while the 1950s were flirty and feminine. If you want to make a statement with bold and big, the 1970s are your time.

Whether you’re tying the knot in retro fashion or are simply searching for a timeless look, these vintage-inspired wedding hairstyles are perfect for your special day.
