Planning your dream wedding in Poland? From fairy-tale castles near Kraków to lakeside barns in Mazury, there’s one magical element every bride needs: the perfect hairstyle. It's not just about looking flawless in photos (although that helps); it's about feeling like you, only elevated. So, what bridal hair trends are turning heads in Poland this year? Let’s unravel the braids, buns, and bobby pins to find out.
Romantic Waves – Because Fairytales Are Real
Soft, cascading waves continue to steal the hearts of Polish brides. Think “I just stepped out of a love story” kind of vibe. Whether you're getting married on the beach in Sopot or in a palace near Łódź, romantic waves pair beautifully with flowy dresses, cathedral veils, and tear-filled vows.
Try this: Use a large-barrel curling iron, then gently brush through for volume. Finish with a flexible hold spray – you want bounce, not stiffness.
Sleek Low Buns – Understated but Powerful
Minimalist brides, rejoice. The sleek low bun is back, and it’s classier than ever. It hugs the neck, highlights the cheekbones, and says, “I am elegance, hear me twirl.”
It’s the go-to choice for weddings at chic venues like Endorfina Foksal in Warsaw or industrial-style lofts in Wrocław.
Bonus: This style holds all night, through hugs, Polonaise dances, and spontaneous pierogi feasts.
Boho Braids – For Wildflower Souls
Loose, tousled, nature-kissed. Bohemian braids are a Polish wedding favourite, especially for brides saying “tak” in forests, on farms, or in rustic barns.
Try a side fishtail, a crown braid, or a loose three-strand adorned with baby’s breath or ivy. Want inspo? Bridelle.pl features plenty of real weddings where braids steal the show.
The Bridal Ponytail – Sassy, Sleek, and Photo-Ready
Ponytails are not just gym material anymore. Polish hairstylists are turning the humble ponytail into a bridal masterpiece. Whether high, polished, or low and voluminous – it gives you cheekbones, neck drama, and serious dance-floor staying power.
Style tip: Wrap a piece of hair around the base to hide the elastic – instant chic.
Hair Accessories – Because Polish Brides Know the Details Matter
No hair look is complete without the sparkle (or the flower). Accessory trends in Poland this year:
- Pearl pins – scattered in buns or waves
- Gold leaf combs – perfect for rustic luxe
- Botanical hair vines – ideal for woodland weddings
- Velvet bows – a soft romantic throwback
Try pieces from Polish designers like Anna Kara or W.Kruk's bridal collection for local elegance.
Natural Texture – Embracing Your Hair’s True Identity
Polish brides are falling in love with their own hair again. Whether it’s soft curls, tight coils, or straight-as-a-ruler strands, 2025 is about authenticity. Local stylists, like those at Jaga Hupało Born to Create, specialize in enhancing your natural beauty – not fighting it.
Real bride moment: One curly-haired bride in Gdańsk told me, “I finally stopped straightening my curls for events. On my wedding day, I felt like me – and it showed in every single photo.”
The Chignon 2.0 – Classic Meets Cool
The traditional chignon gets a 2025 update with asymmetry, texture, and unexpected accessories. Think side chignons with pearl combs or low, messy versions with soft tendrils.
It’s perfect for formal affairs at venues like Pałac Goetz, where tradition meets high style.
Short Hair, Don’t Care – Pixies, Bobs & Chic Confidence
Short-haired brides, you’re not “working with less” – you’re working with fierce. Add a statement hairband, go sleek and shiny, or let your natural texture take center stage.
Pixie cuts + a cathedral veil? Absolute power move.
Half-Up, Half-Down – The Wedding Hair MVP
Still can’t decide between up or down? Half-up hairstyles strike the perfect balance – a little structure, a little softness. Add a twist, a braid, or some sparkle, and boom – you’ve got a Pinterest-perfect bridal look.
Vintage Vibes – Victory Rolls & Retro Glam
For the bride who lives for eyeliner wings and old-Hollywood vibes. Victory rolls, soft finger waves, or 60s-style beehives are all making a quiet (but fabulous) return. Throw in a birdcage veil or a red lip and you’re basically the star of your own vintage film.
Real Talk – Hair Trials & Polish Wedding Days
If you’re planning a wedding in Poland, consider doing your hair trial at least 2–3 months before the big day. And maybe... bring your mom, sister, or BFF for moral support and laughs when the first bun attempt goes sideways.

Final Comb Through: What’s Your Signature Style?
Trends are inspiring, but your wedding hair should ultimately reflect you. Are you a barefoot-in-the-meadow braid bride? A sleek-city bun kind of woman? Or a curls-and-pearls romantic?
Whatever you choose – make it yours. And make sure it lasts through every kiss, every toast, and every wild dance to “Miłość w Zakopanem.”
