    Hey hive!
    My friends and I got into an interesting discussion the other night, and I wondered what you all had to say. If you could only pick one for your wedding day- which would you rather: perfect hair, perfect skin, or a perfect body?

    I'd have to vote for perfect body.

    I never have perfect hair but I don't really care either so that wouldn't be a concern.  And imperfect skin can be covered/hidden with make-up or touched-up in pictures.

    You should add a poll!

    Perfect hair, definitely. I dont really have any issues with the way my body looks (expecially in a wedding gown that sucks you in!), and make-up can fix any skin issues.

    perfect skin for me! My body's not perfect, I picked a dress to hide the imperfections. As far as hair, I'm not really one to do much to my hair in the first place so whatever is done for the wedding is more than would ever be done on any other occasion :)

    Perfect body for me!  I want a VERY sexy dress, so the body's got to live up to it!  I have decent hair, and I'm told I have great skin (I just have great make-up!), but the body...I'm working on!

    Perfect body. There are multiple ways to get perfect skin (makeup/tan/etc). I've been waiting my whole life for a perfect body...where is it?

    Maybe because I need to lose weight to be at my healthy weight, but definitely perfect body for me.

    Skin. My body is practically the "perfect" proportions already, and skin can be so high-maintenance! Hair I just don't care about all that much...what is "perfect" hair, anyway?

    That's a tough one.  But I'm going with the perfect body.  All the rest can be tweaked and altered to look near perfect.

    I picked perfect skin. I don't even know what perfect body means. I'd rather have no pimples and teeny tiny pores than bigger boobs.

    In the past few months my skin has really cleared up.  So on my wedding day unless something changes, I will have perfect skin and perfect hair.  To me anyways.  No where near a perfect body so I voted for that.

    Though in a wedding dress you don't need to have the perfect body.  You just need to have a dress that flatters YOUR body.

    For my wedding, I was fine with my body and my skin was good to go..so I guess what I couldn't control exactly was hair/make-up so I would say that!

    @panterapeach: Ah! That's a good one! I am so worried about rain, I would actually probably rather perfect weather than any of the others.

    To answer a few of your questions about what "perfect hair" or "perfect body" meant in the context of the original conversation:

    When we said "perfect hair" we were referring to your personal best hairday (like when your hairstylist cuts your hair exactly right and uses all the right products, then gives you the most voluminous, longlasting blow out). "Perfect skin" would be clear and dewey w/ effortless makeup, and "perfect body" would be whatever weight you feel most confident and sexy at.

    Personally, as I'm starting new beauty regiments to build my ultimate wedding look, I found myself thinking about which I cared more about. I feel like my dress hides a lot of my less than favorite body parts, so that went to the bottom of the list. Hair has always been a sticky spot for me (I've posted about this before), but I'm slowly but surely taming that beast. Healthy skin was the one aspect I never really addressed, mostly because it seemed like too much work. Now's as good a time as ever to work that out though, right?
