Have you tried taking the test of what kind of bride are you on brides.com? They have really cool hair photos!
I still have to pick out mine, but I think I'm going for a classic updo that's ... big and poofy. Lol. I like volume.

Another one without any fascinator..... I do like the subtle swirls...

omg i love it! It's classic and vintage, not matronly! The fascinator makes it very very chic. I like the bigger one...the smaller one kind of looks like ribbon on a present, sorry. The more "out there one" is way more gorgeous!
I think it looks fantastic! My only suggestion would be to give the top some height. I'm not a hairdresser so I have no idea how one would go about it, but I'm sure your person could do it. What they've already done is really nice :)
Oh! It's beautiful, and not matronly at all! However, if you feel it's matronly, even just a little bit, then I'd suggest minor changes... you don't want to be thinking about your hair on your wedding day. Really.
{But I think it's pretty effing rocking.}
I think your hair looks great! I'm sure with the dress it'll look different than with regular clothes. I think it's pinned up to be loose and romantic, not matronly. I do agree that some pouf in the top would make it look more "bridal" and less ordinary from the front.
Wow!!! After being through 2 hair trials with two different people already, I think your hair ROCKS. I don't think it looks matronly at all-- its very sophisticated and elegant and classic, yet a little modern. I really, really like it.
My one suggestion, which might make it feel less matronly from the front is to add a little volume to the top. Your hairstylist will tease the top portion of your hair slightly, and then the front part will cover the teased area, creating a little volume. Remember that most of your pictures will be taken from the front, so you want to be able to see "style" from the front.
I think its worth the money for a second trial so that you aren't anxious about your big day, but I think your hair looks great in the pictures!
I think that's really pretty! With or without the hair piece, you'll look fantastic if you FEEL fantastic. Go with your gut- if you want to change it, I would. But truthfully, I don't think you need to change a thing!

I love it. I kinda feel like the hair pieces cover up the good parts of it though. I think if they were attached to one side they would look better.
i think it looks good and i don't know if you're asking for opinions on this or not, but I really like the smaller fascinator (with fewer feathers)
I never would have thought matronly. It looks good, and looks good on you (most important part).
BTW, you have a tough choice with accessories. Several of those looked really good, and that is a great hairstyle for fun accessories. I would seriously consider have two: one for the ceremony, one for reception, or even just the dancing, if that fits your event.
I don't think it looks matronly at all. It looks beautiful-- I LOVE it. It's similar to Mrs. Cherry Pie's wedding updo. I say go for it. It looks great with your fascinators! I also like the smaller one with less feathers if you want an opinion on that too.

I don't see matronly at all- with the feathers, your dress, and makeup, you will be a hot bride!
Your hair looks soooo pretty! I prefer the 2nd hair accessory, although both are pretty!

OOOH I think its so cool not matronly at all but i do think some poof on the top would make it look alittle better in my opinion... but i do love it!!!

I think the style is really pretty. I love the feathers--vintage but modern. :)
I think it is beautiful and not matronly at all! But, to make yourself feel more sure, why don't you do another trial with a different style. Aside from looking gorgeous you need to FEEL gorgeous and it doesn't sound like you are too happy.

I think they look nice together. If you feel it looks too matronly, could you soften it up by having some soft whispy curls framing your face?
I think it's beautiful! Classy and not matronly at all :-), though I do like the idea of having a few curls around your face to soften the front a little.
I think it's beautiful! I might have to try this look myself!
BTW - how long is your hair?
It's beautiful..again, maybe some height would be great..How about doing some va va voom makeup? Think classic. Like how Drew below channels Marilyn and her hair is a bit bigger but soft..and of course, Audrey (her look would look GREAT with your look) for a makeup style to compliment that hair.
For makeup, think defined eyebrow. Defined features. Well-defined lip. Cat eye looks great btw!
If you opt for some bigger hair, I do like Drew's style.

I LOVE the big feather fascinator. I think it looks elegant (the hair). You might wanna spice it up in the makeup dept. maybe that's why it looks too matronly to you.
Fresh, youthful makeup will make all the difference!

I just loved the second fascinator.. and the hairstyle is amazing! Relax, you look young and fresh!
I actually love the back, she's an amazing hair stylist to pull that off; I love the feathers, it jazzes it up; the front on the other hand looks too plain; you need some wow factor; either have bolder make up (vioelts and pinks) or maybe add some tendrils coming around your face or add more height for more ooomph
I really like what you have done, not matronly...its fun!
I loooove looove loove that huge feather hair piece you have! OMG! I wish I could wear something like that!
I have this stupid little round head that whenever I put a hair piece in, I looked beyond silly!
I like the second one. I also love the swirl design in the back. Is there a way you could pin the fascinator to one side as not to cover up the gorgeous detail of your hairstyle?

It looks so good! It looks even better with your hairpiece. I don't think it looks matronly at all! Very classic,

I think it is a lovely hair style. Is it possible to start the intricate looping higher so it is not all covered by the hairpeice? (which I think both are lovely by the way!)

I had my hair trial this past Friday - and while I liked it during - I feel blah about the photos. It's exactly what I asked for, and very close to the pictures I showed her, but I can't help but feel matronly. Not the look I was going for. But then again, I am wearing a slightly "out-there" (my mother's words) feather/beaded fascinator, so perhaps they balance each other? (there are 2 fascinators that I'm debating between)
I've scoured project wedding & weddingbee for hair photos, but nothing "speaks" to me.
I'd love a second opinion? Is the hairstyle classic or matronly?
