Hair up or down for wedding?

Hair up or down for wedding?

Up with a chain of daisies around the crown (no veil) and I carried a bouquet of daisies (still own it too since it was fake!)--I just liked daisies at the time I guess.

Looking at the pictures now, I wish I had worn my hair down, it would have looked better with the daisies. But My then BF (and now DH)liked my hair up - so wore it that way. But my ears stick out! :(

I wore mine in an up-do. It was pretty long at the time and I refused to deal with it down during the reception-dancing, etc. Plus I just prefer the look of an up-do with a fancy dress-wedding or otherwise....

I had it put up and the ends were curled and pinned and then I bought pretty clips with white flowers on them that I had placed intermittenly through out and around the curls...no veil. I looked pretty darn good if I do say so myself! lol ;-) }(



Have a great work out!

Jdoll- are you getting married?

I've never been married, but I think that you should do whatever makes you most comfortable. If it is a summer wedding and you plan on dancing a lot, I think in this case an updo is a good choice.
 
Jes - your eyes are so pretty, you should wear your hair up. Maybe something loosely up, with flowing curls or something.

I voted up, but wore my hair down. I was married on Dec 23,1983 and it was very cold. The dress and vail I chose were more sutied to hair down.

I personally thinks it depends on the person, if they feel they look better with their hair up or down, there are a ton of ways to make both fancy and looking great, and I think it also depends on the dress and the way it's cut. Some dresses don't do look the best when you wear your hair up. Others don't when you wear your hair down. Personally I'd stand in the mirror when I picked the dress out and see both ways. Then you have then until the wedding to find pins, clips, ribbions, etc that you want to use.

As getting into that dress on the big day and going. What should I do with my hair? Can really make your heart start pounding especally if your hair has a mind of it's own and doesn't want to behave very well that day. My best friend did that at her own wedding, and with her hair being so long and thick, it took forever to do, and then she change it in the middle, so we had to stall the wedding for 20 minutes to get hair all done. I really felt bad for the groom, who was waiting and probably wondering if we were really having a problem doing her hair, or if his bride got cold feet and the wedding might be called off. We now laugh about it, but at the time it wasn't funny and it was nerve racking to see the time tick by, and have very slow progress on her hair.

Jes,

I think you should wear it down. It will look so pretty flowing in the ocean breeze. It would look nice up too, but because it's a beach wedding, I would wear it down.

I wore mine down because the "headpiece lady" thought my hair was pretty down with it, even though I was told by friends and family to put it up. My friends and family were right. It's one of those things about my wedding day I wish could change. It has always bugged me.

I just saw a women on a wedding show getting married at the beach. I noticed hair kept blowing into her face and that she had to always flip around to the other side of her partner to get it out of the way for pictures.
 
I'm getting married in April and will wear it completely down. It just would not be me at all if I pulled it into an up-do. Plus my hair also needs to cover up that little lizard tattoo between my shoulder blades. ;-)
 
I wore mine down, but that was a long time ago. I would wear your hair up so it doesn't get in your way. When mine was down, it got messy when we were smashing the a piece of cake in each other's mouth. LOL.

do whatever you want! Up or down!! It depends on you mood, on the style of the dress, on how amenable your hair is to being dressed and on how much hair you have. There's no rules here, follow your own dictates.

If you need any help at all, please don't hesitate to ask. I just got married this past October and I'm still in wedding planning mode. I loved it!!!!!
 
Oh those stupid "headpiece ladies"! Mine told me that since I was so short, I should wear a shorter veil so it wouldn't overwhelm me. So I did and it was nice. But my girlfriend who is no bigger than me got married a year later and had a veil that went all the way to the ground...and it was STUNNING! Never rely on the advice of strangers. (Except those in the Cathe forums)
