10 Trendy Beach Wedding Hairstyles
Your beach wedding hairstyle is a crucial part of your overall bridal look, especially for beach weddings where humidity and ocean breeze can cause unpredictable hair moments, like a “Monica in the Barbados” scenario from Friends. It’s the humidity!
To avoid any hair mishaps, it’s important to do thorough research on products that help control humidity and frizz. A professional hairstylist could help you with that, if not there are plenty of amazing Youtube videos available these days with tips and tricks. In the meantime, we have concocted a selection of 10 trendy hairstyle ideas to get you going and inspire future brides for their beach destination wedding.🥰
1. Loose Waves Twisted Half-Up Beach Wedding Hairstyle
A classic that never goes out of style – it’s what we call timeless! The twisted half-up hairstyle is one of the most flattering and chosen choices for brides. It exudes an effortless, feminine, and romantic vibe. We’re absolutely in love with how it turned out for this bride – simply flawless. 🥰 Be sure to have your hairstylist secure the twist with bobby pins, as you’ll want your gorgeous look to stay intact while you dance the night away.
2. Mermaid Hair With Strands Beach Wedding Hairstyle
On the other side of the spectrum, mermaid hair is a major trend right now, featuring super long locks and tousled waves for that effortlessly glamorous look. It’s all about that unstructured, flowy vibe – giving you a natural, free-spirited look that feels effortless yet stunning.
We absolutely love the two strands at the front, perfectly framing the face and adding a soft, romantic touch to the look. This is a look that can easily be achieved on your own with the right tools and a regular hairspray for our DIY brides.
3. Textured Bun Beach Wedding Hairstyle
One of the best ways to highlight your dress is by opting for an entirely updo hairstyle. We absolutely love this textured bun on the stunning bride – it beautifully complements her sparkly, off-the-shoulder dress. It’s also a perfect way to balance a statement wedding dress with a simpler hairstyle, keeping everything elegant without going over the top.
The little brooch tucked into the textured bun is the ✨perfect✨ finishing touch, adding a beautiful touch of glamour!
4. Low Wavy Ponytail Beach Wedding Hairstyle
Another fantastic way to highlight your dress while keeping an elegant vibe is by opting for a sleek, low wavy ponytail. We absolutely love this stunning look created for her second outfit. The long, mermaid-inspired ponytail is both sexy and fun, offering the perfect style switch from the more traditional first look.
5. Middle Part Hair Down Beach Wedding Hairstyle
Sometimes, less is truly more – and this bride’s hairstyle is the perfect example. She chose a simple, mid-part style with loose waves, and the result is absolutely stunning. She looks like a princess, with an effortlessly chic vibe that complements her natural beauty. Everything about this look is pure ethereal magic. A perfect 10/10!
5. Low Sleek Back Bun Beach Wedding Hairstyle
This low sleek back bun exudes pure sophistication and refinement. It’s the perfect hairstyle for a more demure bride aiming for a classy, polished look. The bride opted for an over-the-shoulder lace dress, and wow! What a fantastic combination. We love the pearls detail, makes it even more chic.

6. Structured Beach Waves Beach Wedding Hairstyle
Another fantastic choice for our future beach brides is… drumroll🥁… beach waves! But not just any beach waves – we’re talking structured beach waves that stay perfectly intact, no matter the weather. This requires the person in charge of your hair that day to work with a variety of styling products to achieve that structured look, all while keeping your hair soft and natural, with just the right amount of movement.
As mentioned in the intro, the key to perfecting your bridal hair is gathering as much inspiration as possible to find the hairstyle that truly matches your vision.
8. High Sleek Ponytail Beach Wedding Hairstyle
Another favorite for the second look: the high sleek ponytail! Classy, sassy, fun, and versatile…the list goes on. This hairstyle would pair perfectly with an ultra sparkly little white party dress, giving off those chic, 70’s Brigitte Bardot vibes!
9. Fishtail Braid Beach Wedding Hairstyle
To switch things up a bit, we love the idea of a fishtail braid. While it’s often seen on bridesmaids, it would make a stunning and bold choice for bridal hair, adding a beautiful, textured detail. When it comes to the fishtail, go big or go home – the bigger, the better, to create that bold and romantic look!
10. Flower Crown Beach Wedding Hairstyle
We had to include a crown somewhere in the list! Flower crowns are making a big comeback – not quite at the level of diadems, but they’re definitely stealing the spotlight. They give off the perfect bohemian chic vibe, especially for a beach wedding – waves crashing in the background, the sun setting during the ceremony, and a live band playing.
The flower crown is the perfect finishing touch to any of the hairstyles mentioned above. It’s incredibly versatile and can create a unique, stunning look in just minutes.
