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!

There are loose waves and side twists and so many kinds of braids that we cannot even name them all.
