But today, the trends in women’s hairstyles have changed and many women wear their hair shorter. If you are a member of a wedding with a medieval theme, you can still achieve this charming “braided crown” look for bridesmaid hair by using hair extensions to elongate the hair to whatever length you want.
If hair extensions don’t appeal to you, another way to accomplish this look is with vertical rows of braids angled toward the top of the head. To complete the look, simply use ribbons that match the color of your dress and weave them into the hair.
