When planning a wedding, a bride has to make a number of decisions in the run-up to her big day – from floral arrangements and decorations to catering, outfit and hair choices. But of all those choices, how she wears her hair is perhaps the most exciting; after all, the photos from the wedding are still revisited years after the event. That's why it's good if a bridal hairstyle is both classic and romantic – something that never becomes dated. Curly hair, natural or styled, is a perfect texture for a timeless bridal hairstyle. Here are 20 curly bridal hairstyles to choose from as inspiration for your big day.

Long, flowing curls are beautiful in beautiful half-updos and downdos. But if you're short on length or want to wear your hair up to show off your delicate neckline and shoulders, try one of the soft curly updos with flowers, loose braids, twists or dainty hairpieces.

When it comes to romantic wedding hairstyles, you can't go wrong by pairing sweet, bouncy vines with a few scattered blooms. This style would best suit a bohemian wedding with a not-so-showy lace or chiffon dress.

There are a few special occasions in a woman's life that call for a classic updo, being a bride is definitely the best of them. While straight is certainly beautiful, there is something to be said for the ethereal nature of curly bridal hairstyles. With a curly updo like this you will be the princess you always wanted to be.
