    Hello!

    I'm sure indecisive so I decided to start growing my hair just in case - it's now shoulder length so I'm a bit limited in the stuff I could do.

    Here is me with short hair:

    And I did a mini hair trial to try and decide - although the wedding is in June so hopefully it will be slightly longer, with more trail-y bits. Ignore the bits falling down my neck!

    And here is the dress:

    My inspiration was the lovely Jesica Alba:

    and the stunning scarlett:

    So....Do you think I should have an updo, or should I chop it all off and go short?!

    Thanks for helping me decide!

    I think either one will go well with your dress (which I love!) but if you're going short, you should go even a bit shorter in the back than you had it in the photo. I think the cut in the short hair picture is a little too "in-between" and doesn't really have the short and sleek/sassy look.

    Then again, as a short hair girl, I'm kinda biased. :)

    I think both are fine, but I would do what feels natural to you. Do you feel like you when you have short hair, when you have the longer hair, or both? You don't want to look back and think that you don't look like yourself.

    I am a fan of long hair! I think you look great with short hair too but I like your trial pics. It all comes down to how you feel and your personal opinion on your hair. You know your hair best!

    Longer hair definitely looks better for the wedding; it's more feminine and romantic to me. The updos are gorgeous!!!

    I absolutely love women who can rock short hair, and you most definitely can. Which length makes you feel more like yourself? Whatever length that is, go with it. Years from now, you don't want to be looking at your wedding pictures and wondering, "Who is that [short/long]-haired woman?"

    Updo! Short hair is great but I think with the wedding dress, updo with add to the elegance.

    I really love your updo inspirations with that dress - I say grow it out for a few more months. Then savor in the PWC! haha

    Hi everyone

    Thanks for all the comments- that's so helpful!

    I feel like myself in both the short hair and in the updo- maybe just a bit more special with the updo!
    So i think i might go with that...And statistics are pretty clear!

    Thanks again!!
