Wedding guest hairstyles 2027: styles for guests, family and short hair

The short answer: for 2027 weddings, expect low updos, half up styles and soft waves with volume to continue, with less hairspray and more movement. The old rule still applies: a guest looks lovely but does not look like the bride. At B&B Elegance, an event hairstyle for a wedding costs 25 €, the same as any event style.

Wedding guest hairstyle trends for 2027

Forecasts for 2027 are still early. The English and German trend reports we have read mostly cover 2026, and none gives a full list for next year. What is clear is that this year's directions are carrying on:

• Fewer stiff shapes: styles that move, with a few loose strands around the face.
• Soft 90s style volume for hair worn down.
• The sleek look: a bun or ponytail pulled back, often with a centre parting.
• Small accessories: bows, pearl pins, decorative combs.

These are general directions. How well they fit your wedding depends on your outfit, your hair and how many hours you plan to dance.

Which wedding hairstyle to choose

Low updos, such as a bun at the nape, are the safest choice for summer weddings. They hold in the heat, survive the dancing and go with almost any dress. Half up keeps your hair on show but away from your face. Loose waves are the most romantic option, but they need healthy hair and strong hold, because in August hair worn down drops faster.

The sleek look, with hair pulled straight back, suits outfits with clean lines and big earrings. There is one condition: your hair needs to be in good shape, because in such a clean form every dry end shows. A high ponytail with volume is the livelier version, good for younger guests and long nights of dancing.

Wedding hairstyles for short hair

With short hair or a bob, you do not need to put your hair up at all. A blow-dry with volume, light waves or one side pinned behind the ear with a decorative clip is enough for a wedding. For shoulder length hair, a small half up or a side braid works well. When hair is very short, the attention moves to the accessory and the makeup. Bring the clip or ribbon you have in mind so we can try it on the spot.

Hairstyles for the mother, sister and close family

The close family of the bride and groom is in a different position from the guests. They appear in more photos with the couple and often start getting ready earlier. For them, classic updos and half up styles with volume are the most common choice, because they hold from the afternoon until late at night. For mothers and mothers in law we have a separate guide: hairstyles for the wedding family.

How to choose by outfit

The first thing we ask about is always the dress. An open neckline or bare shoulders call for hair worn up, so the line shows. A high neck goes better with a ponytail or a high bun. A simple dress leaves room for loose waves and one accessory. The full table by situation, with the right appointment time on the wedding day, is in our guide to wedding guest hairstyles.

You choose the final style together with Besire at the start of the appointment. If the style in your photo will not hold on your hair's length or density, she tells you before she starts, not after.

Party hair and makeup in Pristina: prices

Why summer Saturdays need booking early

Wedding season in Kosovo is mostly summer, when the diaspora comes home, and many weddings fall on the same weekends. Saturdays fill first, especially the afternoon, because weddings usually start in the evening. If several friends or relatives are going to the same wedding, message us together so we can line up the appointments one after another and have everyone ready on time. If you are flying in, write before you travel, not after you land.
