    I'm trying to decide between a half updo or a low bun for my wedding day hairstyle. I have included pictures of my dress and the two hairstyles I'm thinking about below. Let me know what you think.

    I personally am not crazy about updos so I chose half up half down! =)

    Either would look nice but I think the updo looks a little more formal so I voted for #2.

    @CupCakeMeg:  I am on the same page as you!  But I think both would look good with this dress, even though I prefer the half do.

    I think a dramatic ballgown like this really demands an updo for extra elegance and regality, so I voted #2!

    I think an updo, but I don't care for that particular one.

    DRESS TWIN!!!

    I wore my hair down and curly for my wedding becauase that's how I felt most comfortable.

    But I think an updo would look equally good so I don't think that you can really go wrong.

    My advice is to wear it how you feel most comfortable and most like "you".

    Here's how I wore mine:Which hairstyle is best with my dress? :  wedding hair ANNA  JON 2011   LOW RESOLUTION 152 **Photo Recap**Girls Getting Ready!** Very Pic Heavy! :  wedding recap girls getting ready photos brooch ANNA  JON 2011   LOW RESOLUTION 152

    I Love the updo style that you posted - the low bun is gorgeous. Are you wearing a veil?

    Another Dress Twin! :)

    I voted half up half down, but I am biased, as I am wearing my hair like this:

    I'm a HUGE advocate for wearing your hair up. I don't know about you, but I get hot pretty easily, and at our wedding (in November in New England, mind you) I got SUPER sweaty from dancing and carrying around my huge ballgown all night. Having my hair up really helped, actually.

    I went to 2 weddings last year where the bride had half up hair, and by the middle of the reception they had thrown it up into a bun.

     

    That's just my opinion, plus I feel like you can wear your hair down any day, a fancy updo is really more special.

    @gettingmarried2012:  Yours is exactly how I would want mine to look if I did the half up style.

    I think that dress needs an updo.
