So maybe you’re not the sleek ballerina bun kinda bride, and would prefer something a little less frozen and formal and a little more flowing and free! If so, then you’re one of a growing number of brides returning to their “roots” – the days when brides preferred to look more medieval fair maiden than soap opera chic.
Some of the following “down ‘dos” feature accessories such as clips, tiaras and veils, while others are completely fuss-free and flowing.

From the February/March issue of Modern Bride Magazine comes this hip bridal hairstyle featuring stylish thick bangs and loosely-curled tendrils.

If your hair is all one length and already has some natural curl to it, this wavy down ‘do is a romantic wedding day look.

This bride’s hair is down, but not forgotten – a tiara crowns her flowing mane and keeps stray strands off of her face.

A veil can still go nicely with a wedding day down ‘do, and looks especially striking against the color contrast of dark, flowing hair.

An extreme side-part coupled with a sparkling hair clip at the side creates a sophisticated style.
