Hairstyle Opinions?

Amber, on November 15, 2019 at 6:49 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 9
I'm debating between half up / half down (shown in first 2 pictures) or a big braid (3rd photo). I have really thick, long brown hair with caramel highlights. Curls don't usually hold well in my hair, but I've never really had it professionally done.


Half up/ half down pros - I love the look, it would look good with a cathedral veil (if I do a veil that'd be the length), it would bring out my highlights. Cons - the curls might not hold and I might get hot.
Braid pros - still cute, will likely hold better, less hot. Cons - would probably look weird with a long veil.
Photos attached of my dress (it has a long train, princess style) and hair pin I plan on using. My wedding theme is Renaissance / Celtic so either would work. Hairstyle Opinions? 1Hairstyle Opinions? 2Hairstyle Opinions? 3Hairstyle Opinions? 4Hairstyle Opinions? 5Hairstyle Opinions? 6

    Are you having your hair styled professionally? I would ask the hair person and have a trial session

    I’m doing something like the second photo, but I think the braid would be so lovely with your theme and all of your outfit details Smiley smile

    Oooh the big braid (last hair pic) would be gorgeous for a Celtic wedding. I'm so into this.

    Yes, I'm getting it professionally done and will do a trial. I just haven't found a hairstylist just yet.

    What do you think about a veil though? I'm not sure if the braid would look right with it since it would be mostly covered or need to be something like this photo. It just might be too thick to do it on both sides?

    It took some looking, but I found a few photos on Pinterest. I prefer a sheer veil so you can see your hair style through it a bit, but the veil is only on for such a short portion of your day that I wouldn’t worry too much about that. If you want to wear it, do it! When else do you get a chance to wear a veil? 😁

    I love number 1, but I am biased because that is how I am doing my hair.
