wedding hairstyle in Greek style is a successful combination of deliberately careless curls, which, nevertheless, are securely fixed with hairpins, clips, ribbons, tiaras and other accessories. Such a hairstyle is incredibly convenient: if an extra strand breaks out of it, it will absolutely not damage the appearance of the bride, but, on the contrary, will add charm to her.
In addition, with all the classic nobility of the lines, Greek-style hairstyles are surprisingly democratic (see the photo below): they will suit almost any wedding outfit, no matter what style it is made in: from deliberately simple rustic or sentimental Provence to luxurious tiffany. Moreover, the Greek hairstyle can be built from hair of almost any length.
Greek wedding hairstyles for short hair
If the bride’s hair is very short, that is, the girl is cut “like a boy”, then there are two ways to create a hairstyle in the Greek style: grow hair or use a curled chignon. The main rule: the forehead should be open.
In the case of a chignon, wind your own hair on large curlers, make a light bouffant in front, which is fixed with a satin ribbon, a string of artificial pearls or a diadem, and attach false curly strands at the back.
The attachment point of the chignon will successfully cover the hairpin, decorated artificial flower or pearls. The tape can be wrapped around the head two or even three times so that, as it approaches the crown, a kind of “ladder” is formed.
If the bride's hair reaches at least the shoulders, then there are two great options for the Greek hairstyle. In the first case, the hair wound on large curlers should be combed a little in front and stabbed in the back, leaving a few curly strands at the temples. Will complement the hairstyle tied in the middle of the head satin ribbon(any width) or diadem.
The second option is that the elastic braid or pearl thread is tied so that it runs in the middle of the forehead. Hair in this case, you only need to curl slightly. At the back, the strands are twisted around the bandage so that a not too tight roller is formed.
If the bride does not want to use a bandage on her forehead, you can fasten the braid at the temples with clips so that there is no front at all, and form the same cocoon behind. So that the hairstyle does not crumble and, at the same time, looks elegant, the roller is stabbed with hairpins, and the upper "seam" is decorated with artificial flowers.
If the bride's hair is thick enough, then it is quite possible to replace the front bandage with a braid formed from two braids that are woven from temporal strands and connected to each other.
What is suitable for long hair with curls
The easiest option for an antique hairstyle for long hair is to curl it into large curls, comb it a little in front and fix it on the back of the head with hairpins or invisibility so that her hair fell beautifully in one wave, and her ears were open like the photo below.
Large earrings in a folk or gypsy style are suitable for such a hairstyle. It is quite possible to use a variety of hair ornaments: tiaras, diadems, ribbons, hoops. It will look very nice if you tie your head with a ribbon two or three times in different places.
Successfully revive such a hairstyle with a few curly strands released at the temples. The asymmetric version also looks good, in which the curls are stabbed not strictly on the back of the head, but on the right or left, releasing the temporal strand only from the side on which the hair is fixed.
Hair can be decorated with one flower in the place where the curls are collected, or with many small flowers throughout the hairstyle. The front bandage is often replaced with a braid, which is woven from temple to temple. A few braids also look beautiful, starting from the temples and stabbed in the back along with curls.
If the bride's hair is not obedient enough, then they can be braided, but not in a simple one, but in a voluminous one: very wide at the back of the head and tapering towards the end. Such a braid is woven from curled hair, and it is woven very loosely, and then strands are pulled out of it. The more complex weaving, the better: a braid of four strands, and even of six is welcome..
How to make a Greek knot
The Greek knot is always placed low, as close to the back of the head as possible. The front part of the hairstyle is made in the same way as in the case of curls: fleece, braids, ribbons, braid or diadem, but at the back the hair is collected in a voluminous bun.
The more voluminous, intricate and intricate this knot will be, the better. For example, a hairstyle looks good when four strands (two on each side of the head) are twisted into loose spirals at the roots and approach the back of the head, where all the hair is already twisted into spirals and stacked in “eights”.
There are ladies who fundamentally do not like knots on the back of their heads. Such brides can be offered a "shell": both traditional, vertical, and horizontal, designed in the form of a semicircular cocoon. A combined option is also possible: a “shell”, from the bottom of which a wave of curls is knocked out.
Every bride wants to have a romantic and elegant hairstyle on her wedding day. Greek-style styling, or as it is also called, Empire style, is an ideal option for a bride. Its soft outlines will perfectly complement your face, and discreet jewelry will add zest. Of course, for a wedding hairstyle in the Greek style, you should contact a professional.

Features of Greek hairstyles
The most important distinguishing feature of all Greek hairstyles is that they are made on large supple curls. First, the hair is twisted (if it is naturally curly, then it does nothing), and then, without combing, the main part of the hair is collected either with a double hoop, or fastened with invisibility, or even collected in a ponytail or braided. A few curls are often left for a more romantic look. We recommend using invisible even if you have large accessories that hold back the hair - this way you will give the structure even more strength. And, of course, do not spare styling products so that the hairstyle does not fall apart. The main advantage of such styling, in addition to beauty, is versatility and ease of wearing.

Variations of a wedding hairstyle in the Greek style
As we have already said, there are a huge variety of Greek hairstyles from simple styling in the style of minimalism to complex weaves and designs with accessories.
- Wedding hairstyle with Greek knot. This type of styling is also called corimbos. To create it, all the hair is collected at the back in a kind of bun. It can be located on the back of the head, and at the very bottom at the base of the neck. Often, several strands are taken out of the bundle to create the effect of naturalness and slovenliness. Often this hairstyle is combined with various weaves or accessories. For the stability of the corimbos, it is necessary to tightly fix the main knot, on which the remaining strands-curls will be applied. Best suited for girls who want to bare their neck and show an oval face.
- Greek braid. Classic weaving of tight or loose braids on curly hair. Often, several strands are not woven in order to make the image more romantic. For such a hairstyle, you can use false strands, so we advise brides with short hair to pay attention to it. A braid looks good, decorated with accessories in the form of decorative hairpins, hairpins or even fresh flowers. For several years now, naturalness and naturalness have been in the trend, so we recommend using free weaving techniques to achieve this effect. In addition, this will create additional volume.
- Greek tail. This hairstyle opens the oval of the face and neck of the bride. This is the usual tail tied at the back of the head with a tourniquet, then wrapped inside itself. As a result, a roller is formed, the beauty of which can be enhanced by first rolling each side strand into a bundle. The hair can be gathered or beautifully laid on its side, framing the girl's face. The Greek tail can be made from several small bundles, going down in pairs from the temporal region, forming a kind of interesting net on the head. This hairstyle is ideal for girls with short hair, because it is in this style that the easiest way is to discreetly use artificial strands.
Accessories for wedding hairstyles
To decorate a Greek hairstyle, you can do without accessories at all or use one or more decorative ornaments. We will tell you in detail which accessories can be suitable for each type of hairstyle.
- Bandage. This accessory is not very common for decorating hairstyles, so you can use it if you want to stand out and look unusual. A headband can decorate your head if you choose a Greek knot or lampadion hairstyle - this will make your hair look more elegant. There are many variations of headbands - minimalistic, decorated with flowers or embroidery, with beads or a color that contrasts with the dress.
- Veil. This is the most bridal accessory for the bride. The veil is suitable for absolutely all hairstyles in the Greek style, you just have to choose a style that suits the style of your dress and the wedding as a whole. Please note, initially, you need to know that in the case of the Greek wedding hairstyle, it is the styling that plays the main role, and the veil is just an accessory. In other words, it is necessary that the veil does not cover all the beauty of the hairstyle.
- Diadem. This accessory is a kind of alternative to the bandage, only more traditional. With this accessory you will feel like a real princess at your wedding. But be careful - such an accessory should be chosen very carefully - thin small tiaras need to be installed above the frontal part of the girl's head. In a complicated and high hairstyle, the diadem is placed at the base of the knot or bun.
- Flowers. The trend of the last few wedding seasons is naturalness and naturalness. Be in trend - decorate your head with fresh flowers. They will suit every hairstyle in the Greek style, you just have to choose suitable flowers. Flowers woven into a braid or a scattering of small delicate flowers on a cascade will look especially beautiful. Do not forget that the flowers should be pre-treated with wax, otherwise after a few hours of celebration there will be no trace of the original beauty.
- Headband-elastic band. In fact, the accessory is similar to a bandage, only more practical and comfortable to wear - it will also be good to sit on a high Greek knot, a lampion, or on unusual variations of a tail or braid. In addition, thanks to the rim, it is possible to build a complex lampion or wrap curls in it beautifully and unusually, give shape and direction to a free cascade of hair, or simply decoratively delimit the bangs.
We are sure that our advice will help you decide on the choice of hairstyle and its execution.
