5 Brand-New Ways to Braid Your Hair for a Wedding

Is there anything more romantic than a braid worn with a beautiful wedding or bridesmaid gown? I continue to feel that the answer is no. And just when we think we're (maybe, almost) getting tired of the braid look, new versions come along to charm us silly. Here are my five favorite recent braid ideas. Which would you love to wear to a wedding? 1. The epic new twist on crown braids that Margot Robbie wore a couple of days ago. 2. Molly Sims' cool half-up crown braids (by braid master Sarah Potempa—follow her on Instagram for lots more inspo!). A photo posted by Sarah Potempa (@sarahpotempa) on Aug 8, 2014 at 9:28am PDT 3. Victoria's Secret model Lindsay Ellingson's soft half-back French braid. A photo posted by Lindsay Ellingson (@lindsellingson) on Oct 10, 2014 at 7:20pm PDT 4. This easy bohemian updo, which requires little more than joining two pigtails (here's the full how-to courtesy of Butterfly Studio Salon in NYC). 5. This enchanting braided bun seen on Judy Greer; click here for the how-to instructions. The teased top gives it some Brigitte Bardot sexiness. Like any of these ideas for wedding braids? Got a different sort of braid in mind?
