15 Best Bridesmaid Hairstyles for a Strapless Dress
After picking up your bridesmaid dress, it's time to think about your day-of beauty look. (Of course it's the bride's time to shine, but you'll be in plenty of pictures too!) The right hairstyle can really pull a formal look together and it's easier than you think to pick a hairstyle that complements both you and your dress. If you're going the strapless route, we've rounded up our favorite hairstyles that will complement the neckline perfectly.
First things first, be a realist. After considering the strapless neckline, think about the weather (such as temperature, breezy winds or humidity), style of the wedding and the formality, then consider hairstyles that will check all those boxes. If the bridal party is working with beauty pros for day-of hair and makeup, you have the flexibility to get creative and choose something you'd never be able to do on your own. Or, if you're going the DIY route, you'd be surprised how easy it is to elevate a simple updo with a braid or French twist. Get inspired by our favorite looks below.
