Sideswept or Updo?

Mrs.a, on June 18, 2020 at 12:59 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 17

Help! I have long dark hair with bangs and am trying to decide if a sideswept hairstyle would look good or if I should do an updo with my dress.

What do you think?

    Yep! I’ll have a hair comb and hair pins if needed.

    In that case I think I’d prefer the second style !

    I think it’s really person preference, all three hairstyles are beautiful.


    Things I’ve been thinking about when deciding how to do my hair are how hot I’ll get with my hair down on my neck; the fact that our wedding is pretty informal, outdoors, in the mountains, at sunrise when it could be anywhere from 30-60 degrees; and the kind of hair accessories I gravitate towards.
    No matter what you decide, I’m sure you’ll look beautiful.

    Thanks! Those are good points to consider!

    We are getting married in early October in Pennsylvania, so the weather could vary. I’ll have a comb and hair pins to choose from so I could see any of these styles working. I don’t want to cover the front or back of the dress entirely, which is why I could see either updo or sideswept working.

    Pics one and three I think are lovely and for either style a lovely hair piece will add some pop.

    Thank you! These are the hair pieces I have in mind.

    This one would be with a comb.

    It's definitely up to your personal preference! I love the side-swept hairstyles, but updos really can't be beat in terms of longevity on your wedding day!

    My hair doesn't hold a curl well and I tend to dance (and sweat 🤫) a lot at weddings so my mind always goes straight to asking "would my hair wilt?" Smiley laugh

    You could always start with the sideswept style and depending on the weather it could easily get pinned underneath to a modified updo for the reception if you find you are too warm with it down.

    That’s a good point! We’re not having dancing and I doubt I’ll sweat a lot due to it being in October.

    That dress is stunning!!! I vote updo. That way your hair won't take anything away from your dress. All styles are very nice though. I also like updos because they stay put all day.
