Hair up or down? Dress pictures included!

Posted in Hair and Makeup 64

Just picked up my dress and I’m IN LOVE. Alterations don’t begin until August but it already fits almost perfectly which is so exciting. Yay for minimal alterations! Now to decide: hair up or down?? I have very long (waist-length) hair and I’m torn between: A) half-up, half-down with a braided crown...

A) half-up, half-down with a braided crown and big romantic curls
B) messy romantic low updo with braids and a few loose face-framing pieces

    Both are gorgeous. I’m running into the same issue. Wear it differently from the usual look-so, up?

    Half up/ Half down:
    It takes a lot of hairspray for an updo so unless you want your wedding night spent brushing out tangles…

    Thank you! True, an up-do would definitely be out of the norm for me! I’ve never even had a formal updo hairstyle done before lol!

    If you're in love with that back of the dress up for sure. Although, it doesn't really matter if you're hair isn't super long I suppose. If it's shorter you could go either way.

    I just seen you're hair is long lol. So it depends on if you love the dress for the back of it and really want to show that off

    You look gorgeous. I would say hair up it shows off the back of the dress more

    Wow, you look STUNNING in that dress! My vote is hair up or if you want to wear it down, maybe a style where it all comes to one side in the front, so you can show off that gorgeous back!
