Hair and Makeup Trial Help!

My hair and makeup trial is this week and I still haven’t decided how I want to do my hair. It’s a struggle. 😭 I always thought I’d wear my hair down and curly. However my dress had a gorgeous keyhole back that I don’t want to cover up either. Picture of the back of my dress for reference and picture of how long my hair is. Also I will be wearing a veil for the ceremony and I did by a headband to use but it’s not something I have to wear. Does anyone have any suggestions or if you wore an open back or keyhole back dress how did you do your hair? I have a ton of pictures saved on Pinterest but I can’t decide. Help!

    Oh wow, that back is beautiful! I would definitely wear my hair up to show it off! You could also do an up ‘do for the ceremony, then let your hair down for the reception.

    Why can't you wear your hair down and curly but pulled to the side. I think that hairstyle is very beautiful and elegant plus you still show off that gorgeous back of the dress. Something like this?

    Hey Cassie! Your dress is absolutely beautiful and I totally understand why you don't want to cover that beautiful back detail!

    I think that Kristen may be on to a great idea with the side-swept hairstyle! Is this something you have thought about yet? You will be able to have the loose curls that you originally wanted and have it around your face for a beautiful, soft look but it will still show off the back of your dress!

    The dress is beautiful! Don’t cover the back. I agree with the side swept hair- great idea. Also you have so much hair to do a fantastic hairdo with.


    If you decide to go with an updo, and wanted to keep somewhat of a curl with your updo, here are some ideas:Hair and Makeup Trial Help! 4Hair and Makeup Trial Help! 5

    Yes, I’ve thought about it the side swept but have seen photos of brides with that style and it almost seems a little young looking. If that makes any sense and I don’t want to go for that. I want to be classy and fun with some loose curls if I can.

    Wow that dress is gorgeous! It would look beautiful with the side sweep or definitely an updo.

    I am biased lol. It is a style I love. Something similar I plan to do because I think it will match my veil perfectly.

    I would pick out a few different styles that you like and the take them to your hair and makeup artist. The good thing about the trial is that they can show you multiple options and they can help you figure out what looks best for your face shape and style!

    I wore my hair in a low side bun
    Hair and Makeup Trial Help! 6This was nice bc I didn't have to worry about the wind or having it my face. My hair is pin straight so curls dont usually last but this held all night.

    I was so undecisive too! I gave her two different hairstyles. An up do and half up half down curly. I thought I was going to love the half and half but I honestly love the up do and that's what I'm going with. I'd say show them your dress then give them two different options maybe? 🤷‍♀️ Seemed to help me! 😊

    You look beautiful Cassie!! I think the side-swept hairstyle looks so beautiful! it's still soft and loose around your face but will show off the beautiful back detail of your dress!

    How do you feel about it?

    Thank you. I really like it. I wasn’t sure about the color on the eyes at first but I think it photographs nicely. I love the hair especially the loose curls, I showed the stylist what I like and what I didn’t like so she also knew what not to do. I think that helped a lot.
