Hated hair & dress on wedding day. Redo?

P. Duffy, on March 23, 2022 at 8:51 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 4

TIP: make sure you're sitting in front a mirror when they do your hair so you can ask them to make changes before it's too late....and you can see when they're about to pick up a can of hair spray!

I planned a destination wedding in Islamorada, FL so I didn't get to do hair trials ahead of time. The girl doing my hair was a half asleep and didn't seem enthusiastic. I showed her a picture of what I wanted. She barely looked at it but I decided to trust her and just let her go with it. Big mistake... by the time she finally let me look, it was already completely stiff with hair spray so there was no changing it! I hated it.

It's a week later and I can even look at the pictures. I'm considering re-doing photos at the same venue. I'll def. have different hair that day, but is it odd to have also have a different dress, earrings, etc.? I didn't love the dress...it was just ok. I bought it in a rush and was more concerned about matching the beach venue vibe than I was about making sure I loved it ..

Not sure if the point is to make it look exactly like the same day with some very minor tweaks, or if it's ok to make some major changes?

    You can do whatever you want Andrea!! Smiley heart I've considered doing a post-wedding shoot as well because there was torrential rain on our wedding day!!

    If you didn't love your dress I'd go with a new one!

    I think if you want to take new pictures in which you look the way you want, that is wonderful. However, I caution you to think of how you will feel about it later. You will know these are not pictures of your wedding. Especially, if you have on a different outfit and hairstyle. Will you cherish them the same? Will you feel sentimental towards them? Will you always still be thinking of your true wedding pictures.

    I would hate for you to go through the time and expense and then have super negative feelings about the re-do. Maybe process everything for a while and then decide.
