Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful moments of your life and every detail, from the venue to your veil, deserves careful attention. At Stonehills Hair, we know that your bridal hairstyle isn’t just about how it looks; it’s about how it makes you feel elegant, confident, and completely you.

With our Hair on Location service, we bring the luxury salon experience directly to you – so you can relax, sip champagne, and enjoy every second of your morning.
Here are the top 5 wedding hairstyles set to define 2025, with inspiration to suit every bride and dress.
Classic, glamorous, and effortlessly romantic, Hollywood waves are making a major comeback in 2025. Think soft, glossy waves cascading over the shoulders for a timeless look that works beautifully with strapless or off-the-shoulder gowns.
This style pairs perfectly with sparkling accessories, from embellished side combs to delicate pins. Whether you’re wearing your hair long or opting for a shorter, bouncy version, Hollywood waves suit a range of hair lengths and textures.
Stylist tip: Protect and prep your hair with a salon-grade heat protector to maintain shine and hold without frizz.
Polished or relaxed, high or low, the wedding ponytail is versatile, elegant, and surprisingly chic. In 2025, we’re seeing everything from slick, minimalist styles to soft, boho versions with gentle volume and wisps framing the face.
This look is especially flattering with form-fitting gowns like mermaid or column styles and works beautifully for brides who want to show off their neckline and make up.
Stylist tip: Use quality brushes and combs to create a smooth base, and a touch of shine spray for a healthy, finished look.
Inspired by the Sofia Richie aesthetic, 2025 brides are embracing the quiet luxury bridal bun. This look is clean, refined, and perfect for modern minimalists. Whether worn tight and glossy or as a looser, softly pinned version, this is a style that never needs adjusting mid-celebration.
Ideal for high-neck gowns and veils, the bridal bun is effortlessly graceful and incredibly photogenic from every angle.
Stylist tip: Lock your look in place with a flexible yet strong hairspray that won’t weigh down your style.
Chic, timeless, and quietly dramatic, the French twist is the ultimate elegant updo. We love this style for more formal venues or black-tie weddings, and it can be elevated with pearl pins, fresh flowers, or delicate crystal clips for a touch of individuality.
A looser, “messy” variation is also trending, giving this classic an undone, modern feel that’s perfect for brides embracing a more relaxed vibe.
Stylist tip: For lasting structure, use a volumising mousse to prep the roots before backcombing. Finish with a high-hold hairspray for all-day wear.
For brides who want a bit of everything, the half-up, half-down style delivers soft volume, structure, and flowing romance in one beautiful look. With curled or waved ends, it suits almost every dress silhouette and can be adapted to suit boho, classic, or modern aesthetics.
Add a veil for even more drama, or keep it accessory-free and let the natural texture take centre stage.
Stylist tip: Start with a bouncy blow-dry using one of our professional hairdryers to give body and shine before styling.
