I don't know why braids work so well on brides, but they always look so lovely. And no one's doing braids better than Bella Thorne lately, IMHO. Here's a roundup of some recent favorites, plus a few past styles that I'd love to see on a bride.
Here she is on the red carpet last night.
BRAID-WRAPPED BUN
You almost can't see the braid in this red carpet updo, from earlier this month.
UPSIDE-DOWN FRENCH BRAID BELOW A BUN
Here's an Instagram shot of a twisted style she wore during Fashion Week.
TWISTY BRAIDED UPDO
She wore a milkmaid braid when she got all fangirl (<-her word!) on Zooey Deschanel.
MILKMAID BRAID
Obviously a braid with mini gold stars wouldn't work for every bride, but I love this for a boho bride who's getting married outside.
STAR-FLECKED BRAID
And let's not forget this skinny braided headband, which was one of Petra's favorite braids of 2013. (Click here to see it from the front.)
BRAIDED HEADBAND
Clearly Bella Thorne prefers her braids a little undone, but all of these styles are easy enough to polish up for your walk down the aisle.
Will your wedding hair include a braid? Which of Bella Thorne's braids is your favorite?
