    I'm wearing Casablanca 1827 in Ivory for my wedding in May.  I'm having a hard time figuring out if I should wear my hair up or half up.  I'm leaning towards an updo because the dress is so beautiful at the neckline I would hate to cover it up with my hair.  I have posted some ideas for my hair.  What do you like?

    My other dilema is necklace or no necklace.  The gown at the neckline has some pearls so I was thinking about wearing my moms pearl necklace and some small pearl earrings but wasn't sure.  I would only wear the necklace if my hair was up because it is too busy looking with my hair down.

    Any input would be helpful!!!  Thanks and happy planning :)

    Beautiful dress - I tried it on and loved it but went with something else.

    I'm thinking no necklace, pearl drop earrings and a hair clip like......

    I love the hairstyle in your third photo...I would probably wear a necklace if I were you but maybe just one pendant or pearl.

    Very pretty though!

    This is Mrs. Champagne's dress!  She wore her hair down (and it looked fabulous!), but I think some hair down makes this gown even more oh-so romantic.

    Oh my lanta that is such a gorgeous dress! do you mind me asking how much it was? I love it and don't have my dress yet!

    I love the second hairstyle, the blonde one. I think it's gorgeous and would be so flattering.

    I also think because of the intricacy of the dress, a simpler necklace would be more ideal.

    pearls are a gorgeous combination with lace dresses.

    The dress was $800 with tax.  I know I could probably gotten it cheaper somewhere else but I really didn't want to waste anytime.  I love it :)  It was flattering on me when I was 15 lbs heavier than I am now which was important to me.  I wanted to like it whether I lost weight or not. 

    Thanks for the suggestions.  I think I just need to do a hair trial or two and then try the dress on to see what I like the most.

    I'm wearing the same dress for my April wedding and have debated the same thing! I've always wanted my hair down in long, romantic curls, which I decided to do. I'm not much of a necklace person and felt that a necklace with this dress and my hair down would be too much, so I'm just going with dangly earrings. Check out Mrs. Champagne for inspiration - she looked amazing!

     

    @sept2610 - I paid $650 for my dress

    IMHO you need a necklace because the dress is strapless. What hairdo to choose depends on how long your neck is.

    I would skip a necklace do dramatic earrings and a nice hair clip like the pics shown...

    i like the puffy half up look in the second set of photos you have uploaded.... i like the necklaces that incorporate a few diamonds in them to give it bling! that dress is beautiful!
