  I'm a dark brunette as well. I am planning to do some carmel and red highlights before the wedding. If you do get highlights don't go too blonde because they'll grow out faster and IMO look a little odd.  I can give you the name of my stylist if you want she's in shoreview and rocks the color combos for my dark brown hair

  I am also having on having more caramel toned or lighter brown highlights added- potentially some really dark lowlights as well. I don't want them to be chunky, just natural and thin.  Mila's hair below is my wedding inspiration pic

  IMO I wouldnt do anything that isnt "you." If you dont typically have highlights then I wouldnt do them just for the wedding. But if you like highlights and have had them before then go for it! Or at least try them before it is say a month out from the wedding in case you dont like them on you.
  
  I have med brown hair and actually dyed it even darker for the wedding as that is how I love my hair. It was pretty much all one tone with my own natural hair tones in there coming through my dye job. I just had lots of curls to give my hair texture. Here is an awesome pic of me  that I have on this computer but at least it shows a closer pic of my hair:

  I agree with Danielle.  I have really dark brown hair, but don't plan on doing anything to it.  Honestly, if I did, a lot of people (including FI), would probably flip!  I get many a compliment on my hair!  I think that with the texture I'm planning, along with the natural highlights my hair has after the summer, I'll be good!
  
  GL in whatever you decide, I know it will be beautiful!!  = )

  Ditto last 2 posts...
  I have really dark hair and with curls, braids and texture, and I really liked how it turned out.  It's all one color too, you don't want to look back at pics and wonder why did I do that. Just my opinion.
  Here's a couple pics of my hair...

  Thanks ladies. I know I'm probably overthinking it. When I went in for the hair trial I didn't know I needed freshly washed hair so it was a little flatter than I wanted. My stylists promised me it would be more texturized on the wedding day. I think that just made me nervous. I'm also not really used to having all my hair back so that kind of made me nervous too--maybe I have to change up the style a little so it's more me instead of my hair color.
