Updos have always been the top wedding hairstyle choice of many brides because of a wide variety of reasons. Not only is this type of hairstyle gorgeous and elegant, it is also practical. The last thing a bride would want to worry is brushing strands of hair falling off on her face every five minutes.

If you are going for an updo wedding hairstyle, you do not have to worry about not being unique or different since there is a vast selection of updos to choose from. It is not difficult to pick something that will fit the shape of your face and you will be comfortable with.

Here are the top 10 classic and timeless wedding updos that you can choose from.

1. The Classic Bun - Also known as the chignon, this is a hairstyle where you hair is wound up in a compact bun and fastened onto the back of your head without any strands of hair sticking out. It can be worn high on the crown of the head, on the middle part, or low on the neck. Whichever way you choose to do it, the result is a classic and elegant hairstyle.

2. Bun with Curly Side Strands - A variation of the classic bun, this hairstyle has the hair pulled at the back of the head to form a perfectly compact bun but unlike the classic bun, here you will see strands of curly locks falling from the side of the bride's face.

3. French Twist - Another popular and timeless updo option is the French twist, wherein the locks of the hair are swept back into a twist at the back of the head while being secured with hairpins. This works best on medium hair lengths. Tiaras, flowers, and decorative pins make perfect accessories to this type of hair updo.

4. Prom Style Updo - If you feel that the bun or French twist is too classic for you, you probably would want a younger looking updo in the form of the prom style updo wherein the hair is swept back and secured at the crown of the head while the excess hair is curled and pinned for a classy and sophisticated look.

5. Side Updo - The side updo is a wedding hairstyle wherein the hair is swept to one side at the nape of the neck to form a roll or bun. For a modern look, bangs can also be combed to one side.

6. Messy Modern Updo - If you want to have an updo and still look modern and chic, you can opt for a messy modern updo wherein the hair is divided into sections starting from the top of the head. The main body of the hair is pulled into a bun while leaving a few wispy strands sticking out. This is perfect for a modern bride who will be wearing a headpiece instead of a veil.

7. Simple Ponytail - Pulling the hair into a ponytail and adding accessories like flower or tiara can also be a wonderful wedding updo choice.

8. Braided Updo - This can be a French braid, twisted braid or any other braid pattern pulled up to form a bun at the back of the bride's head.

9. Curly Bun - After forming a bun, curl the loose strands around the bun to create a chic and soft wedding updo style.

10. Half up do - In this updo, only the front part is pulled up into a bun and secured while the back part are curled and left hanging.

Picking the perfect updo for your wedding can be difficult but once you find the right one, you would know that all your efforts are worth it.
