Although boho is very on-trend right now, we have to admit to having a penchant for super glam hair. These luxurious looks can apply to any type of bride from vintage to modern. So, if you're a bride that would prefer a showstopping style, take a peek at these gorgeous updos and long waves!

Let's start with looks that glamorize the popular updo. Above, this bride's super shiny brunette locks are pinned into a layered bob, transforming her into Snow White's diva sister.

Art Deco wedding? Glam is right at home in this popular theme. After all, no basic updo will properly complement an ornately beaded gown or black and gold fan invitations! Above, give a simple chignon dramatic height and top it off with a sparkly headpiece like this floral ivy from BHLDN. Below, for those of you who yearn to be Lady Mary Crawley, this finger-waved updo can be achieved on a variety of different hair lengths.

No one can dispute the level of glam that came out of the 1950s and 60s, with their gravity-defying beehives and perfectly curled coifs. Here are a couple of modern versions that we love. Who needs a veil when you have a bun this fantastic (above)? Accent it with a high collared dress or capelet. The curled, voluminous updo below is only more magical because of the bright streak of purple in the bride's dark brown hair. What might have been perfectly pretty is now totally unforgettable. If you have something unusual about your hair, such as a bold streak of color or unique texture, find a style that highlights it, rather than hides it.

If your definition of glam is all about upscale sophistication, here are two styles just for you. Above, the bride's long hair has been twisted and then tied into a low updo. Because her hair is off the nape of the neck, she chose to accent the entire effect with a necklace strung down her back. Below, this bride's sleek low chignon is very classic, and is made glamorous by the precision of the style and smoothing serum in her hair.

The bride above has managed to channel possibly the most glamorous woman of all time, Josephine Baker. Intricate, thick twists have been arranged into an elaborate updo complemented by ruby lips and long, dark lashes. Below, this bride has chosen to wear her hair natural with an absolutely stunning floral headpiece for her ultra glam 1930s affair.

Sometimes glam can get a little messy, and we kinda like it. This messy LOB-inspired hairstyle above is a great combo with such a va-va-voom gown. Her deep smoky eye makeup and contoured cheekbones add to the dark glamour of this look.

There is something timeless about tousled, full, teased hair. This bride below could be straight out of the glossy pages of a 1960s editorial shoot or, as it happens, a modern wedding event.

Of course, the most bombshell form of glam wedding hair is long waves. Since Veronica Lake, this style is just the ultimate, whether you pin a side back (above) or wear it with a veil (below).

Take this style edgy by going really, really big. Below, this vibrant bride's thick, fabulous waves are on full display by wearing her hair down.
