    So I had my hair trial a few weeks back and I loved it at the time.  Now I'm second guessing whether or not I should go with my first choice of having my hair down.  My hair is pretty long and hits my lower back, FI is dying for me to wear it down but I honestly worry that if I have it curled and wear it down the curls will just die and go flat because I have SO MUCH HAIR.  I'm talking chewbacca status!

    I also originally wanted my hair down lower like you see in the trial but I feel like with it lower it maked my neck and face look way fat. 

    thoughts anyone?

    Oh don't mind my makeup in the photos...it was like I slathered it on with a paint brush. ;)

    LOL I love your editing. 

    I think it looks really nice, maybe it could be  bit hight in the back but that's just my preference. 

    It's nice that your FI wants you to wear your hair down but I think you should go with what makes you the most comfortable. Personally I will be wearing my hair up because it is long and doesn't hold curl at all plus I hate when my neck is hot!

    @Ms. Martian: I do love wearing my hair down and I loves my hair but I think after awhile I'm going to get super hot.  I wanted to go for another hair trial but I don't really want to drop another hundred.  I could always stick with this and ask her to make it higher the day of. OYE the decisions.

    Your face is....stunning! :-)

    I LOVE your hair up! I wish I would have worn mine up.  I went for half up, and by the end of the night I was sweating and my curls were a little limp, and my hair wasn't nearly as long.

    You look gorgeous!

    Thanks guys! I think what I might do is just have her bring it up off my neck a little.  I feel like I'm going to get annoyed with it touching my neck all night amd it'll be hot.  I'm the most indecisive person in the world so wedding planning have been awful for me.

    Imthinkmitmis very pretty. Don't second guess

    Lindsay12.31.2010: I am going half up ( maybe closer to 3/4 up), and worried about things as the night wears on. Curls frizzing mainly, which I have issues with. Did your stylist give you any tips about pulling it up and keeping the style if need be?

    @ENarcy:  I think you'll really enjoy wearing it up!  I would take it up on the neck a little though. I can't stand that sweaty hair sticking to the back of my neck situation.  I think it it was more bun-like (I'm not sure how to expliain it: like it sticks out a little more instead of being so tall and flat) you would like it better.  I hope that made sense!

    @MrsCoachBtoBee: I think I know what your saying, like right now it looks long and flat, if it was brought up and bunched together so it isn't long and sticks out more?  God that's probably a horrible description but I hope you get it

    @ENarcy:  You're description was better than mine! lol.  I realize you have more hair than this and your bun would be a little bigger but it's the best I could find quickly:

    I think it needs to come up a little and in. It looks more diamond shaped in the back than round, so it looks a little off. I love the side swept bang though

    @ENarcy: My 4 1/2 yr old daughter laughed when she saw your "makeup" LOL. Aside from that, I think it looks pretty! Raising it up would look even more stunning on you!

    I think your hair looks beautiful! Don't second guess it.

    However, you should really be reconsidering who did your make up. There's no nice way to put this, but... it's horrid.

    OOOOO I have lots of hair too!  My hair comes down to my hips, and I actually had a few hair dressers say I'd have to wear it down...ummm I don't want to wear a sweater on my back thank you.  And my hair ended up looking a lot like yours...I went higher too:)

    I had a two layer veil that I stuck on top - I was super worried my head would look weird but it wasn't that bad.

    I love your hair, but if it's not what you want just bhe honest.  This is your day and you don't want to have something just because you don't want to hurt someone's feelings (that being said, there are LOTS of ways of politely changing it without being mean).

     

    Also, your photoshopping made me laugh out loud.  At work.  So thank you Laughing

    @travelerkate: Oh this has nothing to do with hurting anyones feelings! Psh I'm paying tons of money for hair and makeup this woman will be doing it how I want it.  I'm just realy indecisive and I love my hair down but I know the curls would be a disaster an hour in so I'm just torn.

    definitely keep it up! I like the southern tulip pix. more like that. and maybe a little height on top but not with the curls that start on the top of your head. but the curls in the back should go higher up than they do. fuller!! you will look amazing!!
