You’re obsessing over the best wedding guest hairstyles because you’ve RSVP’d yes, found the perfect dress and picked out the best wedding gifts from the registry. Whether you’re attending a tropical destination wedding or something more local and low-key, weddings are the perfect opportunity to finally debut that hairdo tutorial you’ve saved while scrolling through your feed.

If you’re bored with showing up to wedding season in the same basic updo every time, try inviting some braids, curls, and embellishments to the party. For the ultimate inspiration and hairstyle ideas, we asked celebrity hairstylists to share the best wedding guest hairstyles.

How should I wear my hair to a wedding as a guest?

Start with the clothes you’re wearing and work from there. Celebrity hairstylist and Unilever hair expert Lacy Redway—who counts Laura Harrier, Tessa Thompson, and Sadie Sink as clients—recommends using your outfit as reference. “I always allow the neckline of my outfit to guide my hairstyle,” says Redway. “If I have a high neckline, I put my hair up. For something strapless or anything with exposed shoulders or a plunging neckline, I like it free-flowing.”

As for wedding guest hair trends, Cosmo Prof artistic team member Jon Carlos De La Cruz points to Paris Hilton’s wedding updo as an example. “It was elegant and classic,” he says. “I see the clean, chic updos making a comeback for sure.”

Among his clients, he’s noticed brides, bridesmaids, and wedding guests waiting until after the big day to experiment with their looks. “Clients are letting their hair grow for their weddings and making transformation choices for after,” he says. “The popularity in style and color for weddings is always to go for something timeless, that will look great in memory photos for years to come.”

How do you wear a ponytail to a wedding as a guest?

When it comes to easy wedding guest hairstyles, stylists love ponytails due to their versatility. Celebrity stylists Kristin Ess and Glenn Ellis both love a textured and bouncy “party pony,” while Gregory Patterson, DIY color and styling expert for Sally Beauty, likes a more elegant Bardot ponytail.

Should wedding guests wear hair accessories?

Hair accessories are a great way to elevate your wedding guest look. From trendy headbands and scarves to oversized bows and bobby pins, adding an extra pop to your hair style is something celebrity stylists highly recommend. “Top off the look with a chic hair accessory,” says Patterson, who has styled wedding guest hair styles with delicate headbands and romantic flower crowns. Ess is a big fan of adding decorative pins, scarves, and even scattered flowers to her looks. “There’s no better time for some sparkle than during a celebration,” she says.
