@BoiledPNut:  haha that's what FI said about the strands!!  What if I got layers put into the hair that frames my face and then they strands won't hang so long.  I am worried that my face will look too harsh without some kind of hair framing it...

This is the look we were going for:

@misspeanut:  "severe" is the exact word my stylist used yesterday when we discussed NOT having the strands  :)

But I think there is something off about the way the strands look in these pictures.  Maybe if they were thicker and shorter?

What about the makeup?  Does it look too plain?

You are stunning. I like that you have makeup on but you can barely tell. I love that look. I can't stand the thick eyeliner and LOTS of eye showow look. I have the sale shape profile as you. I like the strands but I think maybe you need to not have the back to tightly pulled back for the front strands to be down. Did I explain that correctly?

I love the back! And I agree with others about the strands hanging in the front  - they could be a little shorter and less wispy. Right now it looks like tendrils hanging down which is very outdated. But cutting some long bangs / layers would do the trick. If you notice Taylor's hair, the one piece is an extension of her long side bangs which I think looks really nice. ALso, if you want your hair more like the pic, your stylist would need to curl pieces (loosely) before they are tucked into back. But I think the straighter look works for you too. Its just different than the pic.

As for your makeup, I can't see your eyes close up, so its hard to really tell - but overall look is nice. It does looks like you have a ton of white powder sitting on your cheeks and nose area in the pics. Just make sure that gets blended more on the big day.

Thank you for the comments!  Very constructive!  My stylist told me that I should cut layers to frame my face so that the whisps will be shorter, thicker, and more "accidental" looking.  I agree that those long whisps look outdated and stringy.

Thank you for the comments on the makeup.  It was airbrushed.  I told the girl that I wanted to look natural but "flawless."  I think she said that the eyeshadow was called "Mac Lunch" by MAC.  When she first put it on I thought that it was kinda blah...  You could barely tell that I had makeup on my lids.  I felt that maybe I needed some darker colors in the corner of my eyes.  She is going to put in some individual false lashes on the day of my wedding.  I'm hoping that will do the trick.

And I think the flash on the camera is what is making me look so pale!

Some of you mentioned that my hair looked too loose or "not-uniform"...  but that is not a mistake by the stylist.  This is actually the look I was going for.  And I definitely don't want my hair completely pulled back or "tight" looking because I feel that my face will look too harsh. 

Again, thank you for all of the comments!

I agree on the loose pieces in the front.

And I think the back looks sloppy.  There is a difference between loose and casual and not well done.  Perhaps day of, she can tweak it a bit.

Pretty!! I agree with others that the loose pieces in the front could be a little thicker/shorter. But otherwise I love the look on you. I'm planning to do something similar to this, but more structured and "severe" lol. But I think the soft, romantic look is perfect for you. In faaaact...I am totally going for the knot-look in the back of my hair just like yours. Would you be creeped out if I pinterest that pic of the back of your hair?
