10 Braids for Brides with Long Tresses

Why hide your long and luscious tresses in a bun, when you can flaunt them? 

While I am certainly of that opinion buns are a good pick for your wedding because they keep your hair in place, there are a number of pre-wedding functions on which you could experiment with a cartload of hairstyle options!

Whether it is tying them up in a braid, twisting them, keeping them half open or adding gorgeous accessories, there are loads of ways in which you can nail a simple or OTT hairstyle for your wedding or pre-wedding functions. 

But if you have a thing for braids and you have long, thick tresses then you certainly are reading the right blog! Braids being a timeless hairstyle, these can give you ample room for experimenting. From neatly tied braids to messy more casual ones and from the minimalistic ones to the braids studded with accessories, you can go all out with braids.
