A fishtail braid is a low-maintenance way to wear your hair on your wedding day - although they are 

notoriously tricky, so if you're doing your hair yourself, get practising in advance! 

  

Make  like  Blake  Lively  and  wear  yours  over  your  shoulder,  with  soft,  loose  sections  twisted free  to add an extra hint of boho-beauty to your big-day style.  

  

Match a beautiful floral crown with a loose braid - perfect for a bohemian bride! 

  

Tie your hair into a low, side-pony. Plait your hair and secure with a clear tie; once you've finished, 

massage the plait to loosen sections. Match with pretty over-sized blooms... Hello, gorgeous!  

Incorporate braids into a bun for a sleek but romantic 'do on your wedding day. 

  

Seperate small sections of hair and plait loosely, securing with a clear hair-tie. Twist your hair into a 

knot or chignon, including the braids; pin in place and spritz with hairspray.  

  

The crowning plait is the perfect choice for a bride who wants to wear her hair down, but still include pretty-plait detail.

For a romantic twist on the classic Heidi braid, opt for one side plait and sweep the rest of your hair 

into a loose bun. 

  

Get creative with your plait-pinning; consider where (if you're wearing one) your veil or headpiece will sit and position your braid accordingly. 

You can't go wrong with a classic plait - especially on your wedding day! 

  

Make the bridal braid your own by pinning pretty blooms from your bouquet in to it. Instant pretty, 

and a low-maintenance 'do that will last you from the aisle to the dance floor! 

Fancy something a bit different? Opt for an asymmetric side-braid, pinned in place behind the ear.  

  

First of all, decide where you want your braid to sit. Once you've chosen a position, pick a section of 

hair, French braid and pin into place. It's that simple!  

  

Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh rocked Heidi-style braids on her wedding day.  

  

Get  the  look: Seperate  your  hair  into  two  sections;  plait  each  section  and  tie  with  a  clear band. 

Using bobby pins, take one of the plaits, and position it so it ends just above the opposite ear. Clip in 

place and repeat with the other plait. Pull out a few tendrils for a more relaxed, bohemian take on the 

trend.
