    Below is a picture of my dress. I can't decide if I should wear my hair up or half down for the wedding. I initially thought half down but I keep seeing brides with their hair up and they look soooo beautiful. Please give your opinions and/or post pictures of inspiration! Thanks in advance!!

    how long is your hair? 

    Do you wear it up/off your face regularly in "normal life"?

    i think your hair would look really nice up with the dress, the dress is pretty formal, so i think an updo would look really nice...beautiful dress=)

    I have almost the same exact dress, and I'm wearing my hair down.

    Prettyflowers: Ohhh, that would be good information to give. By the wedding, my hair will probably be past the middle of my back.

    I voted up because while I like my hair down, I get sick of it after a while. So for me having it up all day would be best. How do you feel about it? Will your hair being down drive you nuts after a few hours?  Are you like me and constantly have a ponytail holder on your wrist for easy access?  Those are def some things you need to consider.  If you think you can spend 9+ hours with your hair down go for it, but if you think it will drive you nuts, I would just wear it up.  I guess the other thing you might want to consider is how your hair holds up.  Mine will hold curl for abotu 3 hours before it starts to straighten.

    I think either works with this dress.  I do love the look of wearing hair up with a strapless dress though.  It's so pretty and romantic!  That's what I'll be doing, I hope :)

    The dress can go either way--do whatever you're more comfortable with: up because it's in your way, down because it frames your face, etc.

    Ugh.. I have a very similar dress and have 95% decided to wear my hair down. I say Ugh, because I know it's going to look bad by the end of the night while an updo probably will still look pristine at 1AM. It just looks so much better down!

    is your wedding indoors or outdoors? i'm having an outdoor wedding, so due to weather i'm keeping my hair up. if that's not an issue, i think it would look good either way with the dress.

    Wow! Y'all are so speedy! The wedding is outdoors which kinda makes me want to wear it up... but my hair holds curl really well which kinda makes me think it would be okay down. Gah, the simplest decisions can get so complicated!

    I think I'd actually like it better all down with that dress :)

    I think you should do big curls, and have a ponytail on the side with a flower. So its up, but the effect of half up half down. It will show off your back.

    I personally like the idea of hair being up since it is a wedding...and the fact that your date is in the summer time! I am getting married May 30, and I am having my hair up for sure, because I don't want to be fighting with the Florida humidity!

     

    Pretttty dress by the way!

    I did mine half down.  It was a compromise because my hubby really wanted my hair down, but I felt like it was too boring, so I put some up.

    How about asking your FI if he has a preference?

    I'm doing all up because I like to dance and don't want my hair to be a sweaty mess.
