How does my hair look? My mom hates it!

Alexandria, on December 17, 2018 at 6:55 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 29
I originally thought I wanted a fit and flare lace dress in which case I would have worn my hair down with big waves and half pinned up by my ear.
Well I ended up getting a ball gown and I felt like that romantic look didn't suit the dress. Here is a pic of my hair trial, the inspiration pic (it'll look more perfect day of), my ceremony dress (ball gown), and the dress I'll change into during the reception.
What do y'all think? My mom hates it and says it looks too harsh and serious.

    I think you look beautiful!! The most important thing is that YOUR vision is what comes to life and that YOU feel gorgeous and confident on the day of your wedding! Go with the style you like.

    I think your mother is wrong. I agree with you that with the style dresses you will be wearing you should wear your hair up. Your dresses are beautiful and the hairstyle you chose is, to me, quite simple and perfect. It doesn't compete with your dresses, which is how it should be.

    Wear your hair the way you want to wear it. Your wedding day is about feeling like the most beautiful you.

    I think it’s lovely! If on the big day she can make it a bit poofier to mimic the inspo a bit more maybe your mom will think it’s less severe? I’m a big lover of the bun and think you look amazing !!!

    I love it! All that matters is that you love it. When she sees it perfected on the day with the dress and everything she will love it to

    I think it looks beautiful. Everyone is correct, this is about how you feel best. My only suggestion, as an older bride, would be maybe some tendrils to soften the look a little, otherwise I think up looks great on you.

    My mom disliked and disagreed with most of the decisions I made with my wedding cause she's stuck in her old ways of what a wedding should be and look like.

    Do what you like and what your personality calls for.

    The makeup and hairs suits your style, especially with the tat! You look fabulous.

    This hair looks great! Especially since it's what you envision on your big day! Only you have to wear your hair on your head, just remember that. AND your dresses are gorgeous!

    Either the top knot you have, or a chignon ( bun at nape of neck) are ideal with your gown, I think. Go with it ! If you want to keep the topknot but have it be a little softer, less severe, after pulling the hair into a ponytail on top, clip off ( separate) 4-6 sections and make multiple braids, then make the braids into the top knot. Try either way, but I like it as is, and like the hair jewelry you have chosen, too.

    I really like it I think it makes you look like a queen especially paired with the gown and with the second dress it’ll look so glamorous and is perfect because it won’t take away from the beautiful detail on the shoulder bling you got goin on 😍

    I think your hair down would look great in both dresses, but I think it's really pretty. Especially if it'll look even better on the wedding day. I think what is most important is that you like it.

    I think the hair is beautiful, especially with a ball gown! I’m still torn between wearing mine up or down, one of my bridesmaids was saying she doesn’t think down looks formal enough and that I look much better with it up but in a loose updo. When I told my grandma that she said it was a mistake to tie back my beautiful hair and said that my loose updo inspiration looked messy and I’d regret it.

    Point is, you can’t please everyone! If you feel good about how it looks then you do it!

    First of all your dress are gorgeous, I love both looks!! I think that your hair looks perfect and would be so beautiful on your wedding day. It's a very elegant style and definitely not harsh, a style like this really shows off your face and isn't too much with your ball gown!Smiley heart
