Bridal Braids
After many months, it’s finally here. Your wedding day.
There’s the dress, the flowers, the shoes, the cake and the cousin asking if she can bring more than a plus-one. The day itself might be a blur but the memories, are forever. And speaking of forever, there’s tradition. Weddings are the perfect ceremony to create, honour and redefine tradition.
As a black woman, you likely heard of the rule of formal occasions; the straighter the hair, the better it is.
That, dear Braid Club, is the tradition we’re excited to break with you.
At The Braids Company, we believe braids are for every occasion. They're the perfect day - to - night, wedding - to - honeymoon style. After all, your wedding is a day to celebrate your love and allow those who love you to celebrate you too. And what better way to enjoy your day than to show up as yourself?
Curly Chignon
Braids are the perfect way to create a full body chignon that will stay put from saying your vows, to the dance floor. Achieve this look with our 'Simone', coupled with brown pins and a soft brown donut to create body and volume.
Coil Crescent
A crescent soft kink up-do is the perfect style for accessories. A great organic look that plays with soft natural highlights and a perfect compliment for 4c hair. You can achieve this look with our 'Selkie' soft lustre kinky, a snap-donut left open and some pins. A great lightweight style that's ready for a more relaxed look without additional tools.
Baroque Locs
If you're looking for something a little more baroque, soft faux-locs like 'BonitaLocs' are a great option for brides that want something a little different. We find that these soft locs work so much better when you don't part hair in equal geometric parts like a normal box braid and instead, randomly pick hair of different sizes and curls. You can achieve this look with a combination of our kinky soft lustre 'Selkie', our wet wave bulk hair 'Bloome' and a little bit of our bounce curl bulk hair, 'Beau'.
Accessorize with pearl pins in various sizes.
Twists
For longer styles, less is more. Whether you're going with a veil or a simple tiara or wreath around the crown, long braids are versatile and a great accessory for long trains. Recreate this look with our straight and curly style 'Sive'.
Bantu Knots
Last but not least, nothing beats a bantu knot. For a small registry wedding, elopement or a chapel in Vegas on a whim, you can't beat a short protective style like bantu knots. Using our 'Solana' straight braid hair, section hair in big chunks and braid into one large plait. Twist plait around base and work your way up and secure with rubber band.
Whether you're a bride or a bridesmaid, we at The Braids Company would love to be part of your moment. Our sets are perfectly designed for gifting and for brides. Explore our bridal accessory collection for the perfect compliment to your new bridal style.
