Hair opinion needed

Tomorrow is my appt to have a trim and hair colored right before the wedding next Sunday. Here are 2 pics of me. Very blonde and blonde with lowlights.
My dress is white and so is veil. Should I have some brown in it to tone it down, or go mostly blonde. Or even almost all light brown.

    I voted blonde with low lights - but not because you aren't young enough anymore - but because I like the way you look in that picture - the pure blonde makes you look washed out.

    What is your current hair color?  I don't think I would do anything too drastic this close to the wedding.  I go in on friday for my last cut/color.  I can't wait!

    I'd do blonde with the brown lowlights. That's actually what I do & I had mine done about 10 days out from the wedding. The woman that does my hair uses 2 shades of brown in it to give it more depth. I definitely wouldn't go as dark as your hair is in the undo--just add a little depth to your current color & you'll look great!

    #2 definately.  I think in the first pic it's the picture (flash) itself that makes you look washed out, but I still think #2 is the way to go.

    Ah you are just so lovely - I'm going to keep asking you to post pictures... oh wait THAT is creepy.  :)

    I like the way your hair looks in that photo you posted as most recent.  But I agree when doing highlights/lowlights they have to be done carefully otherwise they do look like stripes.  (I am currently dealing with too chunky highlights... yikes!)

    I voted with blonde with the brown lowlights.  I think going all blonde with the white dress is going to really wash you out. 



    Love is the ultimate superpower.   
    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.

    Blond with brown highlits at least for pictures seems to fit you better. But if you have doubts, ask to your FI. That's what I do when I have doubts about the way I look!

    Thanks ladies. I took your advise. Here is my new hair for the wedding. It will lighten up just a little before next Sunday.

    Crappy pic of me, I am exhausted and still have the cough, but you get the idea.
