Say "I do" with a unique 'do.
12 Wedding Ponytail Hairstyles That’ll Make Heads Turn
In this article
Gone are the days when brides had to wear a certain hairstyle on their big day. You can let your hair down, wear it curly, put it up in a messy bun, or do our current favourite: donning a wedding ponytail hairstyle.
Ponytails are the perfect no-muss, no-fuss look; the best kept secret to perfect wedding hair. They keep your mane away from your face while still looking put-together. Easy to wear from the ceremony all the way to the reception!
Since wedding ponytail hairstyles are a bit unconventional (let’s start changing that, shall we?), we rounded up the most heart-worthy ‘dos so you can happily say “I do”.
For your big day, make your ponytail thicker! Whether you have thin or thick hair, adding instant volume and length with The Halo will transform your bridal look. It’s so easy to wear, style, colour, and cut—plus it’s non-damaging—we swear you’ll think it’s your actual hair.
Classic Wedding Ponytail Hairstyles
You can never go wrong with classic bridal ponytails. They look oh-so-elegant and glamorous, and the best part is you won’t have to worry about them getting messed up.
For this type of wedding ponytail, invest in a good hairspray and a set of bobby pins to keep every strand in place.
Glamorous Low Ponytail
Perfect for medium to long hair, this bridal ponytail is the definition of sophisticated. It also looks good when worn with backless dresses as it emphasises the pony’s length.
If you have curtain bangs, don’t forget to take them out so they can beautifully define your face shape.
Effortless Messy Ponytail
If you’re a chill bride who embraces chaos and fun everywhere you go, this messy ponytail will suit your style. Wave out your tresses and add our halo hair extensions for extra fluff that looks “undone” in all the right places.
Voluminous Ponytail
It’s your big day; there’s no doubt you want your hair to look like you, but you’er. If your natural strands just aren’t cutting it with the pony, you can find the solution in hair extensions.
It’ll only take your hairstylist 5 seconds to put on your Halo, and from there, they can trim them to work with your current hair length.
And voila! You now have thick hair for a gorgeous voluminous ponytail.
Simple Wedding Ponytail
It’s true what they say, the simpler, the better, and the same can be said for a bridal pony hairstyle. With its soft wave, middle part, and low placement, this hairstyle can work with all kinds of wedding dresses—long, knee-length, or mini.
The best part? It’s so flattering you can play up your wedding makeup and it will still look polished and sophisticated.

Wedding Ponytail Hairstyles with Accessories
If you thought wedding ponytail styles couldn’t be worn with accessories, think again. From headbands to pretty clips, you can place your something old, something new, something borrowed, or something blue here.Wedding Pony with a Headband
Headbands aren’t just for children. For a more wedding-appropriate headband, choose one in gold or silver and with white details to match your dress.
Is a low pony not to your taste? Don’t worry, accessorising with a headband will still look good even with a high ponytail.
Pearly Wedding Ponytail
Who knew such a small clip could make the world of a difference on your wedding pony? Place a single pearl in white, rose, gold, or silver near your ponytail to make it more eye-catching.
No need to over-accessorise here, too. When it comes to pearl hair clips, less is more.

Floral Bridal Pony
This braided ponytail is the epitome of charming and stylish. Before you add flower hair clips—or you can always do it the natural way and place real flowers in your hair—make sure The Halo is sitting snugly on your head so the braid won’t move or snag throughout the day.
