Whether you’re considering an elegant bun like the Duchess of Sussex or classic curls like Amal Clooney, where better to get inspiration for your wedding day hairstyle than from these celebrity brides? We’ve rounded up some of the most memorable bridal hairstyles from stars including Sophie Turner and Mandy Moore to help you to get wedding-ready.

The Duchess of Sussex

Meghan stayed true to her signature style on her wedding day to Prince Harry, with a low bun courtesy of celebrity stylist Serge Normant. Describing the look as "messy in a controlled way", Serge revealed that the key to the royal wedding hair success was being careful not to overload it with products. With a centre parting, volume at the crown, and loose tendrils framing Meghan’s face, it was an effortlessly elegant bridal hairstyle.

Billie Faiers

Hairstylist Jerri Black created the updo Billie Faiers wore on her wedding day to Greg Shepherd in March, which was perfect for the Maldivian setting. Billie’s blonde hair was backcombed at the front, and tied back into a twisted bun that sat at the nape of her neck.

Amal Clooney

Amal opted for a bouncy blow dry on her wedding day to George Clooney, a timeless look that stayed true to the bride’s signature style. With her makeup courtesy of Charlotte Tilbury and Oscar de la Renta wedding dress, it was a failsafe look from the barrister.

Mandy Moore

Mandy Moore’s hairstylist Ashley Streicher styled her brunette locks into loose waves for her low-key nuptials in November. Adding a pretty finishing touch to the look were delicate pink baby’s breath floral appliques scattered through the back of her hair, and cleverly attached using lash glue.

Michelle Keegan

We loved Michelle’s half-up, half-down hairstyle for her wedding day, courtesy of her hairdresser Lisa Laudat. The stylist previously told HELLO! that she selected the hairstyle to complement Michelle’s gown, gently sweeping her hair back on the top to create height and structure that was offset by loose waves.

Pilar Rubio

Sergio Ramos’ bride Pilar Rubio had an intricate braided hairstyle for their wedding in June. While most of her hair was tied back into one long braid, a section on the right side was plaited into two smaller braids that Pilar wore over the front of her gown.

Princess Eugenie

Royal bride Princess Eugenie wore her hair in a low chignon on her wedding day to Jack Brooksbank in October. Loose tendrils were curled and framed the royal bride’s face, while volume at the crown supported her stunning tiara.

Sophie Turner

Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner wore her hair in loose waves for her wedding to Joe Jonas in June. Celebrity hairstylist Christian Wood created the elegant look, using a smoothing balm to prevent frizz and adding extra volume at the roots with Wella’s EIMI Extra Volume Mousse, a bargain at £5.
