  I wore clip in extensions for my wedding last weekend.  I have light blond hair and my hair dresser was able to match the extensions to my hair color and then she ordered them for me.  They cost $300.  They turned out really nice.  She ordered 18" long extensions but I had her trim them a couple inches so it didnt look like SUCH a dramatic change.  It didnt take her long to clip in and now that I have more time on my hands lol I am going to try to clip them in myself.  My hair dresser always wears clip in extensions and she keeps them more months close to a year because she takes good care of them so I hope I won't destroy them haha.  The extnsions hold a curl a lot longer than my your own hair so that was nice at the wedding too!

  I'm completely clueless about extensions.  For the ones using them, are you keeping your hair completely down?  I want them but want to do half up, half down, and I'm worried that you'd be able to see that there are extensions in?

  I used clip in extensions for my wedding (and E-pics).  I wear them all the time.  They are the Remy Euronext human hair extensions from Sally's and they are $80.  I tweaked my own hair color to match the extensions perfectly.  You can't even tell it's not my real hair.
  
  I did a half up and a good stylist can hide the extensions easily.  When I have them put in professionally, the stylist can always use the whole box on me.  However, I can't use the whole box when I do them myself.
  
  I have PIB of my trial, wedding, e-pics, etc. in both my bios.  I am wearing them in every picture, although I do have a "before" pic in my planning bio in the pics of my trial.  I had them put in professionally for my E-pics, lingerie shower, and wedding.
  
  I looked into the more permanent extensions but here in Dallas they are very expensive--like many hundreds/thousands for the really good ones.  They only last a few months.  They are also very damaging to your own hair which I have very little of.  For the wedding day, you can't go wrong with the clip-ins.
  
  ETA:  I also just had my B-pics done and I had them put in at Toni & Guy and they looked fabulous--even better than at my wedding I think.

  I might get extensions, but luckily my wedding is over a year away so my hair should grow by then.

  I just had my hair trimmed (FINALLY rid of the bad haircut!) and if my hair isn't long enough in 8 months to have hair that looks like Stephiehall's, then my sister (who is a stylist) is going to put clip in extensions for me. 
  
  I would definitely make sure that you get real hair extensions rather than synthetics.  They'll be a bit more, but they're more durable and you can style those.

  I had my hair half up/half down for my wedding and my hair dresser did it without showing the clips.

  I LOVE THEM. You cannot get me out of the house without them now.  I bought 2 different lengths, human hair and just recently had them dyed to match my hair perfectly. No one can tell. I will actually wear both sets for the wedding. Totally worth it.
