This is a natural, looser approach to the Hollywood or glam bridal waves, in my opinion. You can make this look bridal by adding pearl bobby pins or a hair accessory piece to minor side for a razzle dazzle.

Truthfully, I pulled this hairstyle as inspiration for my wedding day. I didn’t go with this look, however, but I loved the vintage feel to it. It’s almost a half-up, half-down style because one side is pinned up. You could add some clip-ins to achieve this look.
