Hi all,

I'm completely unable to make this simple decision! I almost always wear my hair down, except for working out. So, I'm far more comfortable with it down, but still want to look "special" for the wedding.

Here's the wrench in my down-hair-plan. My strapless dress has a fabric flower on the neckline, and my hair is long enough to interfere. The flower is on the left, so I was thinking of having it swept to the right, but down for the most part. That's what I did at my hair trial, pics attached, but am not completely sure it's the right look. I can't decide if it's just me or if there's something not quite right about the look. I definitely don't want prom hair!

I like the view from the right side, the back, and the front, but something about the back-left view is not quite right.

I am just going for simple and pretty. Does this hit the mark or should I keep exploring? TY!!!

Don't mind my weird expression in the pic...

It's so beautiful! It's really elegant too! I think it's nice, cause it's almost "half-up/half-down" @ the same time you'll be able to flaunt you're beautiful dress!

It's beautiful! If it were me, I might lower the "bump" just a tidge- that might make the "back-left" side more a little more natural looking. But overall I really love it!

You hair looks amazing! So gorgeous! And I can get what you mean about the left side looking a bit weird from the back, but I think that's only because your hair is swept off to the right, which I actually really like. It's not symmetrical, but it sounds like this will prevent your hair from interfering with your dress. And I LOVE it like this!
