Beach weddings are hard to beat. From the laid back vibes to the magnificent soundtrack of wind and surf as you walk down the aisle and tie the knot, followed up with sunset photographs and a beach party, there?s really nothing quite like it.

But a beach wedding means a whole lot of planning decisions are made for you. It?s a no to the stiletto heels, I?m afraid, and unless you want a sandy, salty, damp hem, you probably won?t go for the floor length gown either.

But when it comes to your wedding hairstyle, you?ve still got plenty of options. It is worth thinking carefully about, of course – a day of sun, salt, and sand means certain ?dos are probably worth avoiding – but there are a whole bunch of wedding hairstyles that are perfectly suited to the beach, both in look and in practicality. So if you are cruising to the Mexican Riviera to say your vows at Punta Mita, or just packing your bags and heading off to Miami Beach for a sun-drenched Florida wedding, here are some of the best hairstyles to make your beach wedding perfect.
