What You'll Learn
Loc jewellery
One option is to go for a statement loc piece, such as a decorative wirework design or a piece with length. These can be minimalistic yet make a statement, such as a hair (forehead) dangle, which brings attention to the face and can work with most hairstyles.
Another option is to adorn your locs with various types of loc jewellery, such as the KW Blush Loc Candie collection, which features dangling loc jewels and smaller, handcrafted pieces that 'hug' the locs. The more jewels, the better!
If you're looking for something a little more understated, consider small loc beads. These can be made from a variety of materials, including gold, stainless steel, moonstone crystal, copper, carnelian, and plastic. You can also opt for loc tubes, which come in various sizes and metals, or loc coils.
For a glamorous look, consider a strand of pearls or crystals. You can incorporate these into an elegant updo or chignon, with individual beads or crystals scattered throughout your hairstyle.
Hair vines are also a popular choice for weddings. They are a versatile alternative to tiaras, designed to work with any hair texture or style. You can opt for crystal hair vines or choose a romantic style with wire-wrapped rose gold petals and faceted shell pearls.
Finally, don't forget that you can also wear your locs in their natural form, with just a few strands pinned to the side and a veil attached to the crown of your head. This authentic look can be both stylish and practical, especially for warm-weather weddings.

Braids
There are many ways to style your locs with braids for a wedding. A French braid is a popular choice, creating a cascading style that falls down your back or around your shoulders. For a unique twist, try a braid that spans across your hairline and extends into a chignon at the nape of your neck. This style can be accessorized with hair vines, combs, or hair chains to add a touch of sparkle and elegance.
If you're looking for something more whimsical, butterfly braids perfectly couple uniformity with tousled curly strands, ideal for the bride who loves bohemian elements. For a low-maintenance option, a sleek straight-back braid is a great choice. You can also try a braided low ponytail, which is both understated and elegant.
For brides who want to add length to their locs, installing invisible faux locs provides the illusion of extensions coming from the scalp. This can be achieved by twisting the locs upward and around themselves to shorten them. If you're looking for a more protective style, French curl braids offer long-lasting bouncy curls without the need for hot tools.
Another option is to create a braided topknot bun, which adds a touch of glamour to your look. Braided buns can also be styled in a variety of ways, such as the cornrow bun, which can be adorned with designs such as flowers or stars. For destination weddings, slender bohemian knotless braids are a perfect choice, offering a non-conformist hairstyle with a cropped shoulder-length bob.

Ponytails
For a simple yet stylish look, pull your locs into a high ponytail and secure it with an elastic or rubber band. You can add visual intrigue by creating a tiered style. Do this by pulling your locs back into a high ponytail and then wrapping elastics or rubber bands around sections of your hair until you reach the end.
If you want to add some glamour to your ponytail, consider a strand of pearls or individual beads scattered throughout your locs. For a beach, country, or woodland-themed wedding, a pearl-studded ponytail is a stunning option. Alternatively, a gilded high ponytail held with mini bungee cords or a blinged-out bang is perfect for a glamorous soirée.
You can also twist your locs into a ponytail and form a well-defined bun. This style is both stylish and practical, especially for warm weather weddings.
