Whether you are eloping to an exotic tropical destination or having a formal affair at a swanky oceanfront hotel, beach weddings never go out of style. Mother Nature can be tricky, especially if you’re by the water, an ocean. So what are you to do if you’re planning a beach wedding? Of course, you want to look effortlessly gorgeous, but there are things to consider hair-wise like strong breezes and humidity.

Here are our favorite beach wedding hairstyles for the perfect casual and romantic beachy look! 

1. Low Bun With Flowers

A sleek, low, side bun will keep your tresses in place, even when they’re facing strong shoreline breezes. Make a statement with a low bun and a pair of standout earrings. A small sprig of flowers doesn’t hurt either.

2. Sea Accessories Hairstyle

The additon of a nautical hair piece is the perfect way to polish it off.

A few curls and side twists to sweep hair away from your face will keep things neat and tidy for the ceremony.

Another beautiful option that incorporates a beachy braid is a half up half down with a waterfall braid into what we think are the perfect beachy waves!

A subtle bouffant and a formal low-bun hairstyle look just as gorgeous on a beach as it does in a ballroom.
