A New Take on Princess Styles: Featuring Effortless and Casual Half-Up Bridal Hair Arrangements*

What hairstyle comes to mind when you hear "half-up"?

One of the classic bridal hairstyles, the half-up.

When thinking of half-up styles for weddings, many might imagine a hairstyle with the top hair braided, the loose hair curled, and adorned with flowers, resembling a princess.

However, recently, there has been an increase in brides who enjoy a more relaxed half-up style that adds a touch of elegance to their everyday looks rather than the glittery versions.

(Like a princess walking through a meadow or mountains in a foreign movie....!)

In this article, we will pick up particularly adult, stylish, and eye-catching hair arrangements.

This should serve as a reference for brides who want to enjoy a different take on down styles ♡

Trendy and relaxed half-up style 1

A half-up style where a small portion of hair from the side is taken and tied at the back.

The hair on top is left down, so it has a silhouette close to full down, but gives a classical impression with an elegant touch ♡

The curls in the hair are natural and not too strong, resembling an overseas bride.

Trendy and relaxed half-up style 2

A half-up style where a long, softly flowing hairstyle is tied loosely at a low position.

This style also looks like full down at first glance. The subtle tie creates a refined and adult silhouette.

Notably, the tie is slightly shifted to the left rather than being straight back, adding an asymmetrical and stylish element!

This half-up style features no tie at the back, with the braids on both sides ending midway.

The hair in the back falls freely, resembling a full down style.

It offers a natural adult down style that is distinct from both the standard half-up and full down ♡

The hair on both sides is thickly braided, and the center features a braid wrapped with a small branch accessory. Tiny braids also cascade from the top.

This unique half-up style, which combines multiple techniques, allows for a one-of-a-kind bridal look that won't be seen on anyone else ♡

Trendy and relaxed half-up style 5

A half-up style that uses trendy hair accessories like gold pins and pearl pins.

Instead of tying or braiding, the top and side hair is secured with pins, which makes this half-up style unique and eye-catching.

A half-up that looks like a princess from a fairy tale ♡

With such a loose and natural flow that you can't even tell how it is braided or where it is tied, it looks beautiful ♡

Small flowers of statice and dry leaves used as hair accessories are stylish as well.

A simple half-up style could be nice as well.

The top is finished tight and smooth without curls, with the side hair crossed at a low position.

The choice to forgo hair accessories also offers a modern and refined look.

Trendy and relaxed half-up style 8

Long hair reaching the waist styled into a loose half-up.

A twist braid half-up made with just one rubber band is perfect for those aiming for a natural down style that isn't overly formal.

It looks great in refreshing location photos.

The last style I want to introduce is a half-up bun created from the tying point of the half-up.

Decorating the bun with colored flowers or lavender makes it beautiful.

The dark colored flowers stand out against the bright hair color.

Enjoy the bride look with a half-up hairstyle ♡

We've introduced bridal hair arrangements in a relaxed and natural half-up style that isn't the sparkling type you might see on Rapunzel.

The trend for hairstyles that don't strictly braid and have a relaxed feel seems to be rising.

Brides-to-be doing pre-shoots or color changes should complete their stylish bride look with a well-crafted half-up hairstyle ♡
