Braids dominated the bridal runways this season — from Monique Lhuillier to Alita Graham to Winnie Couture. We love how the versatile technique can be used in a free-flowing, wavy 'do or as a finishing touch on a sleek topknot. Think you don't have the skills to do your own wedding-day hair? Think again. After scouring YouTube for the best tutorials, we found five easy-to-follow videos featuring gorgeous styles that are all wedding-appropriate. The best part: Each of these videos is under five minutes. So part your hair in three, and let's begin!
Bohemian Braids
A low-laying braid looks gorgeous over wavy hair. No French-braiding required!
Braided Bun
The secret to this perfect bun, topped off with a wraparound braid? A hair doughnut.
Mermaid Side Braid
This mermaid style is suprisingly easy to achieve. If you have shorter or thinner locks, consider investing in a set of natural-looking extensions to add length and volume.
Braided Updo
Dress up the look by adding a flower or a sparkly hairpiece.
Knotted Braid Updo
Sleek and sophisticated, this knotted braid will keep your hair in place for a long night of dancing.
