16 chic ponytails for a modern, youthful bridal look

We kickstart this list with the simplest yet classiest hairdo. When it comes to hair accessories, there are none, and yet the look still looks put together. Instead of opting for normal braids, try a Dutch braid or even a fishtail braid to add more texture to the hair.

If you love the stars, the moon and all things astrology, this bridal pony is for you. After putting your hair together in a fishtail braid, add small and dainty celestial pins into your hair. We recommend following the braid as you’re adding the pins so the hairdo looks spontaneous yet structured at the same time.

If you’re thinking about trying a unique hairstyle when you tie the knot, this option is for you. This long ponytail is split into three sections, which each section being teased and secured with a silver hairpin. This hairdo requires super long hair, so don’t be afraid to experiment with hair extensions to pull this look off.
