3. Chignon with minimal flowers:
The Chignon has been a trending wedding hairdo in both the North and South Indian weddings in recent times.

Another casual hairdo owned by the bride on her very special wedding reception is the curly messy one-sided braid which is at once both informally fun yet sexy in a laid-back way. It is that basic hairdo that can be accentuated by bright stone hairpins or adorned with a single flower for that classic look that all brides want to have.
6. The Half Updo:
As far as innovation goes the half updos are a platform for immense creativity for a hairstylist. The bride’s hairdo for the reception look is all set with the choice of a classy half updo where the rest of the hair can be either let down, or made into a partial chignon, or set into nice flowing curls to catch all the attention in the room!
7. Let the hair speak for itself:
In the most minimalist yet graceful way, the bride can have a beautiful and simple hairstyle by just letting the hair be natural. With just a bit of smoothening or slight curls, the hair let down and adorned with a single, elegant maatha patti can paint a picture that’s hard to forget.
