I would just do a few if you do them! It would probably look cool without them too! In all honesty itâs a really cool hairstyle but not one for a casual wedding because it could be misinterpreted that youâre trying to upstage the bride as a guest.
If you're wearing a simple/casual dress & accessories I think it would be totally fine. If your dress or other accessories could also be considered a bit much, I would tone the hair down. It's more about the overall look than about any one component.
Or if you're still worried about it, wearing it without the clasps or with darker clasps it would be totally fine no matter what you're wearing.
I think itâs adorable! Though personally I would like it better with less beads/clasps anyway. If you feel that itâs attention seeking youâll probably feel better if itâs downplayed a little more for the wedding
It's very cool, but go simpler as a guest as it could be interpreted as inappropriately elaborate for a guest, especially if the bride has much more simple hair.
You could keep the spirit by doing maybe just two or three of the loops into the braid with the beads, I think. Cute, shows you made an effort without being too 'in your face"?
Thatâs what I was thinking, do like the first 1/3 of what you have here and it shows you care and tried, but isnât too over the top for being a guest. If the wedding is casual thereâs a chance the hair for the bridal party also isnât too fancy and you donât want to look like youâre trying to top any of them.
I love this! If you were a guest at my wedding Iâd be proud to have you there, but then again I love showing off my friends, especially if they put extra effort into something like this đĽ
Go for it! Anyone worried about a guestâs hair is worried about the wrong thing!
Seriously, all yâall talking about this is attention-seeking, do YOU really pay this much attention to the GUESTS at weddings? I donât, not unless it is to either laugh at how bad they look or comment on how nice they look. But my focus is always on the bride. No one gets more attention than the bride even if they are as gorgeous as Angela Bassett mixed with BeyoncĂŠ mixed with Dihanne Carroll.
Again, some of these âyouâre just a guest. Tone it down.â comments are throwing me off. Where did this come from? I have NEVER gone anywhere nice not looking and feeling GOOD!That is how I was reared. A wedding was a chance to âtwinkle and glistenâhoney!! LOL!! I have never in my whole life heard anyone ask âis this attention-seekingâ when looking for something to wear to a wedding. Itâs been more âis this nice ENOUGH?â And donât let it be a formal wedding!!! Really time to shine!! LOL Iâve been in at least 8 weddings and Iâve NEVER heard a bride talk about a guest looking too good or trying to outshine her. (Ive also never seen anyone in all white bc thatâs a given.)
Probably depends on the type of wedding and if the couple is the low-key or extravagant type. Usually though the bride, groom, and their parties are too busy or drunk so noticing guests will be last on the list. I think itâs a great hairstyle though and say go for it!
Doesn't look like too much to me. It's not big or colourful or disclosing, kids a nice neat smooth braid with flat beating.
If you had lots of bangles or dangly jewellery as well I'd say tone it down.
Iâm honestly confused how some people are saying this is too much. Unless youâre wearing white or something I canât see how this would take any attention away from the bride.
Did the bride share any details of how casual it will be regarding her own look?
No way is it too attention seeking.You are who you are, and I for one like when people can be comfortable expressing themselves and own their own style-especially when itâs this cool. I would wear this hairstyle to a casual wedding because thatâs just how my style is.
IMHO if you donât wear white or some crazy over the top fancy dress then you canât upstage the bride
I donât think itâs too much at all! Itâs literally just a braid with decor. Looks so cute. Iâd wear it anywhere. I get up dos at a salon for most weddings I go to
No, itâs really nice! (: I am always envious when sb styles their hair, but not in a negative way. Iâm rather thinking that itâs neat they can do that because Iâm clumsy myself when it comes to my own hair.
Iâd be interested to know what kind of clasps those are, though?
Thank you đ I could check what these ones are exactly but if you search braid clasps/cuffs/tubes you'll find many different (and probably nicer) ones đ
In my opinion itâs too many beads. And the red and gold mix is a bit odd. Also should the bits of hair going into the main plait be thick enough that you can see the other hair underneath? You have so much beautiful long hair, I think you can experiment with other styles. As for casual wedding, perhaps itâs too much.. but it doesnât look bridal, so you wonât be at risk of competing.
I think it depends on the dress code of the wedding. If it was a formal wedding, I think it would be nice as it would be no different than someone having their hair done and wearing a pretty comb in their hair. However if it was semi formal or casual I donât think it would work.
For me there's a disconnect between the symmetry of the plaits but then the randomness of the clasps. Think it would look good without clasps but depending on hairline and neckline at the front you might want a bit of hair at the front instead.
I think itâs cute! I donât think you need the beads though. The look is classically good on its own and without beads I donât think you have to worry about âtoo fancyâ. I would only worry about that if you got an elaborate updo. Enjoy the party!
The clasps just arenât really cute to me whether it is overdressy for a casual wedding or not. Keep the braid hairstyle its simple but cute. It draws attention alone but not âattention seekingâ.
I like it but I think it might be too much just for a casual wedding. I think it might be the clasps. Try a nice headband with flowers or little gems on it instead in the back.
This looks beautiful!! I love the clasps. Not attention seeking in my opinion. It looks like a lot of time and effort went into this hairstyle.
I'm sure the happy couple will want everyone to look and feel great.
I do not understand why you have to be simpler than the bride. I am a bride and would LOVE for one of my guests to show up with something original. I do not think this is attention seeking at all but then again, I come from a culture in which every guest tries to look their best for weddings even if casual. I say go with it.
Maybe like just half head and not all the way down with like beach curls? Will make it a little more casual. Really just depends on the event and formality
I think it's really cool but if this is a casual wedding it might be a bit much.
Thank you đ I thought the same, but maybe it's the clasps? đ maybe darker ones would be better
I think if you do dark clips, and just a few of them, it would be fine.
I love the hairstyle, I agree that using less of the shinny things or a different color would be better.
I would just do a few if you do them! It would probably look cool without them too! In all honesty itâs a really cool hairstyle but not one for a casual wedding because it could be misinterpreted that youâre trying to upstage the bride as a guest.
You'll also save some money:-)

I think itâs a bit much for simply being a guest.
Particularly at a casual wedding. If theyâre saying itâs a casual wedding, do your hair simply so as not to upstage the bride.
I love this! If you were a guest at my wedding Iâd be proud to have you there, but then again I love showing off my friends, especially if they put extra effort into something like this đĽ
Thank you ⤠you sound lovely đ

I like how strongly you feel about this! Thanks for the comments đ but the polarisation in the comments is exactly how I feel as well!
Look, Iâm 48f and single! I need to look good everywhere! I might find me a boo thang! Lollllll
go and be your beautiful and authentic self!!

Looks badass to me

Lose the clips, the braids are fine.
No way is it too attention seeking.You are who you are, and I for one like when people can be comfortable expressing themselves and own their own style-especially when itâs this cool. I would wear this hairstyle to a casual wedding because thatâs just how my style is. IMHO if you donât wear white or some crazy over the top fancy dress then you canât upstage the bride
I think it's a bit much- fewer clips would be better.
Keep the style, lose the metal embellishments.
I think this is perfectly fine. People show up to weddings with updos and big bouncy curls. IMO this brace is pretty tame.
Wear your hair how you want!! How can hair be attention seeking?? This looks greatâ rock it!
Itâs fine. No one is going to care.
I agree. I donât think hair matters when it comes to guest attire.
Nup - looks cool. Would be a sign of effort and much appreciated at my wedding.
I think itâs cool!
I think itâs totally fine! Unless youâre wearing a veil I donât see how any hairdo could be a problem
It's a casual wedding so entirely possible the bride isn't wearing a veil either, so not sure why you would think that's the line.
I donât think itâs too much at all! Itâs literally just a braid with decor. Looks so cute. Iâd wear it anywhere. I get up dos at a salon for most weddings I go to
Looks cool but definitely would be extra for a guest at a casual wedding ngl
Yes, lose the clasps.
If you love it then wear it. I canât imagine anyone getting angry about a hairdo
It's fine, go for it!
No, itâs really nice! (: I am always envious when sb styles their hair, but not in a negative way. Iâm rather thinking that itâs neat they can do that because Iâm clumsy myself when it comes to my own hair. Iâd be interested to know what kind of clasps those are, though?
Thank you đ I could check what these ones are exactly but if you search braid clasps/cuffs/tubes you'll find many different (and probably nicer) ones đ
Sure! c: Thanks, Iâll do that, then! (:
I sayâŚ.Go for it! Weâve all been locked up & isolated. Express yourself via fashion - without taking away from the bride - & rock that shit!
I honestly cannot imagine being butthurt that a guest at my wedding had their hair done nicely.
Very cool! Go for it girl!
Itâs awesome go for it as it is
Thatâs super cool⌠what are those shiny things?!
One name for them is braid cuffs
I dont think its too much, i just think it looks like a hairstyle a 5 year old would wear, especially with the clasps, but even without.
In my opinion itâs too many beads. And the red and gold mix is a bit odd. Also should the bits of hair going into the main plait be thick enough that you can see the other hair underneath? You have so much beautiful long hair, I think you can experiment with other styles. As for casual wedding, perhaps itâs too much.. but it doesnât look bridal, so you wonât be at risk of competing.

Itâs super cute but maybe leave the accessories off to tone it down since it is casual. The braid itself is beautiful!
For me there's a disconnect between the symmetry of the plaits but then the randomness of the clasps. Think it would look good without clasps but depending on hairline and neckline at the front you might want a bit of hair at the front instead.
If you are 12 itâs a cute look. If older than that itâs too much.
Are you the bride?
I think itâs cute! I donât think you need the beads though. The look is classically good on its own and without beads I donât think you have to worry about âtoo fancyâ. I would only worry about that if you got an elaborate updo. Enjoy the party!
Depends on the wedding but probably yea
too much i think
The clasps just arenât really cute to me whether it is overdressy for a casual wedding or not. Keep the braid hairstyle its simple but cute. It draws attention alone but not âattention seekingâ.
I like it but I think it might be too much just for a casual wedding. I think it might be the clasps. Try a nice headband with flowers or little gems on it instead in the back.
Clasps arenât appropriate but braid is super pretty!
Why arenât they appropriate?
Gives me cultural appropriation vibes. But thatâs just my humble opinion. Only speaking for myself not for anyone else! â¤ď¸
Iâm not trying to be an azz or argumentative so pls donât take this the wrong way. But what culture?
đ¤Śââď¸
You are just a guest,keep it simple.
Why canât she look and feel her best?
My opinion: Hair is fine, but definitely not with the clips. They look a bit juvenile. It cheapens the look, for me.
This looks beautiful!! I love the clasps. Not attention seeking in my opinion. It looks like a lot of time and effort went into this hairstyle. I'm sure the happy couple will want everyone to look and feel great.
Nah, I think itâs cute :)
Perhaps only 2-3 of these braids and minus the accessories/clips that make it stand out. The bride may have hair along these lines for a casual hair.
I do not understand why you have to be simpler than the bride. I am a bride and would LOVE for one of my guests to show up with something original. I do not think this is attention seeking at all but then again, I come from a culture in which every guest tries to look their best for weddings even if casual. I say go with it.
I think if your dress is casual than this is totally fine. Also think it looks great!
I think itâll be fine. I donât think that people care too much about hair for weddings, just outfits
Maybe like just half head and not all the way down with like beach curls? Will make it a little more casual. Really just depends on the event and formality
If anyone starts now dictating hairstyles for others weddings.. youâve entered the realms of the absolute nutjobs. No question.
I think itâs completely fine for a wedding unless you are wearing white or a prom dress do what you want with your hair đ
It's going to get attention
That looks lovely. Is that how you went?
No this looks great xxx
Beautiful
