Let us guide you through the world of wedding updos and find the one that will reflect both your personality and the charm of this unique moment.

Characteristics : Can be smooth and structured or more loose and relaxed.

Ideal for : All styles of dress, but especially backless or low-cut dresses.

Suggested accessories : Short veils, pearl clips or delicate pearls.

The low bun is a timeless choice for brides looking for a chic and discreet hairstyle, while remaining timeless. This style adapts perfectly to all types of faces and can be achieved on both short and long hair.

For short hair, we recommend letting a few strands fall gently around the face, creating a natural and romantic look, while also giving a stylish "tousled" effect. This trick is particularly effective for softening a square face, as the strands brushing the cheeks soften the features and add softness.

On long hair, this bun can be structured for a sophisticated look or slightly unstructured for a freer and more modern style, perfect for brides looking for a hairstyle that is both elegant and easy to wear.

If you have a round face, a low, structured side bun with a loose strand can also elongate your features and add balance.

To add a personal touch and complete your look, accessories like our Ara or Coquelicot picks, or our Dove comb , will enhance this simple and refined style. These accessories will not only add shine, they will also personalize your hairstyle, adding a unique and romantic dimension. Whether for a touch of shine or a delicate finish, these pieces will enhance your bun with elegance and refinement.

Characteristics: Light and airy hairstyle, with loose strands and a controlled tousled effect.

Best for: Brides looking for a natural, romantic and modern look. This style pairs perfectly with bohemian, country or flowy dresses, which complement the casual and elegant look of the messy bun. It adapts to all hair lengths and textures, whether short or long, straight or wavy.

The messy bun, also called a messy bun, is the perfect hairstyle for brides looking for a natural, romantic and modern look. This style is characterized by a light and airy structure, with strands of hair deliberately loose around the face or the nape of the neck, creating a controlled tousled effect. Ideal for bohemian or rustic weddings, the messy bun adapts to all hair lengths and textures.

To add an extra touch of elegance, it can be accessorized with flowers, golden pins or minimalist accessories. These elements add a refined dimension while preserving the natural and relaxed spirit of the hairstyle, enhancing the bride without apparent effort. Like the Champètre comb.

Features: Can be a thin, understated braid or a fuller, textured braid.

Best for: All face shapes, with adaptations depending on your face shape. This style works especially well with a simple, elegant dress, such as a flowy gown, mermaid dress or V-neck dress, which will enhance the hairstyle while remaining chic.

Braids, even on short hair, add a unique touch to an updo. On very short hair, it is perfectly possible to create a small, delicate braid, using temporary extensions or braiding a small section near the root. This discreet braid can then be incorporated into your hairstyle by wrapping it around the bun, adding texture and volume. If you want more dimension, a braided scrunchie or clip-in extensions can be used to enrich the style while preserving the length of your hair.

For long hair, the possibilities are endless: a fuller braid integrated into the bun will add volume and refined texture. This style is ideal for a structured and elegant effect. If you have a square face, a loose braid on the side, accompanied by a slightly unstructured bun, will soften your features while adding a modern touch. For a round face, a high and slightly tight braid will visually elongate the face and balance the proportions.

To complete your look, accessories like our Amoureus e comb or our Flore pick will be perfect to enhance the braid and the bun. These accessories not only add a touch of shine but also a romantic and unique side, which personalizes the hairstyle while giving it a chic and refined finish.

Features : Round and smooth volume, sophisticated and modern.

Best for : Brides looking for a bold and sophisticated look. This style works particularly well with structured dresses or silhouettes that highlight the volume of the bun. Princess dresses or high-waisted dresses will perfectly complement this hairstyle, adding a touch of sophistication and elegance. The ball bun is suitable for all hair types, whether short, medium or long.

For a bold look, opt for a ball bun. This hairstyle involves creating a smooth, round volume on the top of the head, adding a touch of sophistication while remaining modern. Perfect for all hair types, the ball bun can be customized to suit your style. For very short hair, it is possible to create the ball bun effect using clip-in extensions or volume cushions. You can also create a small bun on the top of the head with the available strands, then use pins to secure and structure the volume. The important thing is to control the height of the volume to avoid the bun becoming too imposing.

For medium to long hair, this hairstyle allows you to achieve impressive volume while remaining light. If you have a square face, a slightly lower ball bun will help to soften the features and bring harmony to your look.

To enhance this bold style, accessories like our Rossignol pick or the Nuage comb will be perfect choices. The Rossignol pick, with its elegant curves and refined details, will add a discreet and romantic shine, while the Nuage comb will bring an airy and subtle touch. These accessories will not only embellish the hairstyle, but also add a touch of refinement and originality, thus personalizing your look while maintaining a timeless elegance.

Features : High bun, creating a sleek and structured hairstyle.

Best for : Brides looking for a sophisticated and modern look. This high bun pairs perfectly with mermaid-style dresses or high-waisted gowns, which highlight a slender silhouette. It’s also ideal for strapless or plunging neckline dresses, as it creates a beautiful contrast while highlighting the neckline and shoulders.

The high bun is a timeless choice for a modern and elegant bride. This structured style highlights the face while adding height that elongates the silhouette. Perfect for all hair lengths, it can be achieved on short, mid-length or long hair.

For short hair, a high bun can be created using temporary hair extensions or texturizing the hair with hair products to add volume and hold. For a more sophisticated look, you can also add a touch of shine with decorative pins.

On long or mid-length hair, the high bun becomes an easier hairstyle to achieve. It can be smoothed for an ultra chic effect or slightly unstructured for a more casual look. This style is particularly suitable for brides looking to free their neck while having an elegant and practical hairstyle.

To enhance this bun, accessories like the Vera comb , with its delicate and refined design, will bring a touch of subtle refinement. If you want a little more shine, theFlavia comb , adorned with sparkling crystals, will add a touch of glamour while remaining light and elegant. These accessories will perfectly enhance this style while keeping the spirit of the soft and sophisticated hairstyle.

Finally, to complete the look, earrings such as the Pensées earrings , with their delicate pearls and elegant design, will go wonderfully with this bun. They will bring a subtle shine, in harmony with the hairstyle, while adding a touch of sophistication without overdoing it. These earrings will enhance your face and complete your bridal outfit with finesse and elegance.

Features : Twisted bun with curled or twisted strands for a textured and voluminous effect.

Ideal for : Brides looking for an elegant and original hairstyle. This style pairs perfectly with boho-chic, flowing or lace-detailed dresses, creating a nice contrast between the texture of the bun and the lightness of the dress. It is also ideal for dresses with thin straps or low-cut dresses, as it adds height and structure to the silhouette while highlighting the facial features.

The twisted bun is a great choice for modern and sophisticated brides looking to add texture and volume to their hairstyle. This style works well on all hair lengths, whether short or long, and combines sophistication with a slightly offbeat touch.

On short hair, it is entirely possible to create a twisted bun by working with the available strands. Start by texturizing your hair using a volumizing spray or styling product to help hold the twists in place. Then separate your hair into small sections, twist them gently, and secure them with pins around the nape of the neck. This method creates volume and movement, while offering an elegant and natural result. If some strands do not fit in the bun, let them loosely frame the face for a romantic touch.

On long hair, the twisted bun takes on even more dimension. Divide your hair into sections, create twists or twists on each section, then gradually wrap them towards the back or the nape of the neck. Assemble the twists to form a low or slightly raised bun, depending on your preference. This style highlights the texture and length of the hair while providing a sophisticated effect. You can let a few wavy strands escape to soften the overall look and delicately frame the face.

To enhance this twisted bun, accessories play an essential role. The Mimosa vine , with its delicate and floral details, will bring a touch of softness and elegance to your hairstyle. If you want a more natural and rustic option, the Champêtre comb , decorated with plant elements, will perfectly complement the textured and romantic spirit of this style. Finally, for a more refined and glamorous shine, theMarie comb with its pearls and crystals is ideal for magnifying this hairstyle while adding a touch of sophistication.

This twisted bun, accessorized with delicate jewelry, is a great option for brides looking to combine modernity, romance and elegance, regardless of their hair type or length.
