20 Wedding Hair Ideas for Summer Brides

When it comes to the perfect wedding hairstyle, brides have so many options to consider! It can be up, down, curled, natural, straightened, with accessories, without — it is not an easy decision to make! And of course every bride wants to feel her best too, I mean it is her wedding day! And on top of all of those decisions, summer brides also have to consider heat and humidity, especially if they are getting married outside. But, even with all of those things in mind, it's better to have too many options than not enough, and there are definitely plenty of summer bride hairstyle ideas out there. 

One this likely all summer brides will want? A hairstyle that is out of their face and can withstand the heat. Luckily there is no shortage of ways to style hair that satisfies both of those requirements, and we found a good bit of them to inspire a few ideas!

From braids to twists to knots to waves, the amount of elements that can be combined into one hairstyle are endless. And then there are accessories as well, such as headbands, gems, or flowers. Flowers are actually a great option because they just kind of scream summertime. But for brides who are not into that, there are tons of simpler styles to choose from. There are loose waves and side twists and so many kinds of braids that we cannot even name them all. And any of them are great for wedding hair, especially for summer brides who want a more natural look (or a look to keep the hair off the back of their sweaty neck). 

Here are 20 beautiful wedding hair ideas that are especially perfect for summer brides!
