Middle partings may not be new, but they’re certainly enjoying a moment in the trend spotlight. Celebs are rocking them on the red carpets, models on the catwalks, real women on the streets. And, of course, brides are wearing centre partings down the aisle! (And looking super chic as they do it too.)
A middle parting is a great way to highlight facial features, whatever your hair length, texture, or style. From ’70s-inspired long dos to soft, face framing chignons, there are endless options to suit your big day style.
We’ve gathered ten of them from the clever Hair and Makeup Artists in Our Directory. Whether you wear your hair parted in the centre as your natural, daily style or want something fresh and stylish as a change for your wedding, you’ll find a look here to love.
Marvellous Middle Parting Bridal Hairstyles
Middle partings and hair accessories are a match made in style heaven. Here, an elegant slicked-back bun lets the Grecian-inspired hairpiece take centre stage for some straight-off-the-catwalk bridal glamour.
You really can’t go wrong with a low bun wedding hairstyle with glossy middle parting, either pinned back or with face-framing pieces, as this bride is wearing. Statement earrings are a fashion-forward addition!
Long, beachy waves are a the perfect look for a bride who wants to embody effortless glamour. A middle parting adds modern vibes and finishes perfectly with a traditional veil placed at the back of the head.
Chic Wedding Hairstyles For Long Hair
A boho hair chain like this one works particularly well to accentuate a middle part hairstyle, with small crystals along the hairline mirroring and complementing the central gems that fall on the forehead. Long, loose curls finish the look.
You don’t need to have a full middle parting. If you’re working with an accessory, you can place it above a small part, which is then combed straight back with lots of lift.
For a cool-girl look that exudes luxurious modern glamour, opt for a deep middle part with hair tucked behind the ears and a bit of texture worked into your tresses. It’s a versatile look that defines your facial features beautifully.

If you’re considering a milkmaid braid or Dutch halo braid like this one, a centre parting is a must for creating symmetry.
A neat centre part gives beautiful natural curls a contemporary twist. No other styling or accessories are needed! We particularly love how the middle parting echoes the geometric lines on this bride’s sheer bodice.

Long hair is probably considered the most versatile wedding hairstyle because you can wear it up, down, or even half up and down. We love it when brides leave their locks loose and completely free-flowing, either with a gentle curl or swept to the side. Now if only we woke up every day with hair like this!
There is a misconception amongst brides-to-be that you have to have long hair on your wedding day. With many opting to grow out their normal haircut so they have more versatility. Whilst this is absolutely your choice (your day, your way), we love it when a bride embraces her regular pixie cut or cropped style. We've seen brides pin their fringes to form a beehive, braid the side, or go all out wavy. Whatever your choice, your hair doesn't have to be long to be beautiful.
Wedding Hairstyle With Jewelry
Ladies if you are blessed with natural curls then boy oh boy are you lucky. You have volume, a ready-made hairstyle every day and if you choose to pin it up, leave it loose or adorn it with accessories, you always look so polished. I'm sure there is a lot more effort involved in achieving these gorgeous tendrils, but to me, it always looks so effortless and beautiful.
Whether you choose to weave flowers through your hair or add a single flower stem to add a pop of colour, wedding flowers are a beautiful addition to any wedding hairstyle. They can be fragrant, delicate or provide a wonderful focal point, and are a great way to incorporate your wedding flowers to your bridal look. Chat to your florist about which flowers will go the distance and will be most suitable for your wedding hairstyle.
Adding accessories to your wedding hair, be that up or down, is a great way of adding personality to your overall look. The beautiful brides below have chosen individual pins, bridal crowns, hair vines and more, and each one complements their gown and chosen wedding hairstyle perfectly.

Your best girls hair can complement your chosen hairstyle or they can go for a completely different style of their own. In fact, there is nothing to stop every one of the bridal party having a different hairstyle to suit their personalities and hair type.
If you can't decide between having your hair up or having your hair down, then a half up half down do is definitely for you.

A beautiful bun isn't just for gymnasts and little girls. There is definitely a place for a bridal bun in the wedding world. Be that a loose top knot, or a sleek bun tied at the nape of your neck. We love how they add height and provide the perfect frame to pin accessories and wedding veils to.
Adding a bridal braid to any wedding hairstyle instantly gives it a modern edge and depth, especially fanned out braids which can give thin hair the illusion of being thicker and fuller. You can have a full braided crown, add a small braid to your chignon to secure it in place or opt for a long fishtail braid flowing down your back. Whatever your choice we think braids are here to stay and love seeing how you incorporate them into your wedding hairstyles.
I am not one of these people who are blessed with being able to create a fishtail braid. Not even after multiple online tutorials, but I do adore them. Often seen on brides with beautiful long hair, and intertwined with hair vines, fresh flowers and foliage. They
