Big day hair

Hey ladies...
sooo have you guys thought about or decided on your wedding day hair/hair accessories?  I keep jumping back and forth..being extremely undecisive.

At the beginning, I thought for sure I wanted to leave my hair down with big waves and have a flower crown.  Then, I hate to admit it, but people's opinions kind of shot me down and now I think it's going to be up, but swept to the side in a messy bun with a flower or hair comb...

Kind of like this 'do:

 I would most likely wear a pearly comb or pin or a flower if I did this...

Here's me in my dress if it can help you guys in your opinions on what I should do with my HAIR?!! I'm having serious anxiety over it haha

    I think it'll sort of depend on the overall style of your wedding.
    If it's a very natural/rustic/relaxed/whimsical type wedding, I LOVE the idea of a loose or messy side-bun. I think the picture you posted may be a bit too structured, but the idea of it is great.

    If it's going to be a more "proper"/elegant/formal type of wedding, then perhaps you could consider doing something like this: http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/upload/159385274283158614_s8WLYmtK_b.jpg


    but ultimately, it's YOUR hair. If you want to leave it down with big curls and a flower crown -- then DO IT!! Some people might not "get it" but what is more important is that you love it and you think it's beautiful for you!

    I'm planning to do my hair half up/half down in loose curls with some sort of pearly-rhinestone clip/comb.

    I think a loose wavy side bun would look beautiful with your dress!

    Thanks :)  The overall style of our wedding is garden/natural/whimsical...very vintage-y too.  We are getting married outside on a garden terrace with cobblestones and vines, etc.  The reception is inside the restaurant with stone walls, wooden tables, etc.  This is why I don't want my hair to be too "structured"...like basically the link you posted, while it's a beautiful updo, it's exactly what I'm trying not to do ;)

    I agree with PP's on the messy side-bun. However I do think big waves would also look beautiful on you. Go with your gut!

    At the outset, I was pretty stuck on loose waves with a half-up, half-down look and a flower headpiece of some sort. Then I tried on my dress, put a veil on for fun, and decided that I now want to have my hair in a low bun! That is so unlike me... I have really long straight hair - it's almost reached the top of my butt now - and I always just let it air-dry and hang down (unless I'm at the gym). But the dress I chose has a beautiful low-cut back with faux buttons that I want to show off, and I think my hair would look better in a bun under the veil. I need to speak with a hairstylist to see if this is even feasible though... in the past, most stylists have had a near-impossible time trying to pin my hair up, and I don't want to deal with worrying about my hair staying put on the big day.

    I'm going the loose, curled side bun with the flower in the side. I don't have enough hair to go 1/2 up 1/2 down, and I don't think my hair would last as well all day all down. I want something in my hair but I don't want a tiara or a veil, leaving the flower. 

    I say do what makes you happiest. It's your wedding afterall.

    I'm with Chels&Jimmy - I'm thinking low bun! Or something along those lines. My big debate is how much of my natural curls I want to leave in, or if I want to get it straightened at all. But the curls and flower crown sound PERFECT for your wedding :)

    I have NO IDEA!! I have always wanted an updo with my curls cascading around my face. I tend to overheat easily and didnt want to spend the day and night pulling it off my neck. But now that I kinda have my dress in mind, Im thinking it may look better with my hair down in curls with a flower on the side behind my ears. Or, maybe a side messy bun type thing. I guess it will depend on my dress now. I didnt think the dress really mattered on how I did my hair, but it does. Oh well.

    But, if your going for a rustic gardeny vintagy wedding, go ahead with the side bun. BUT if you really want it down, I say do it. you are the one who has to look at pics forever! Maybe go to a stylist and try both?

    I concur with pp's too :)  You're already very pretty and a soft romantic bun would look stunning on you!! (JMHO)


    As for my big day hair I'm going with a combo of this:

    I love this low bun for a wedding day hair style. Its elegant, and beautiful but delicate and gorgeous like a bride should be. THe curled but weaved and noted look is amazing!

    Thanks laaaaadies!!!  You're too kind ;)
    I really do think the side messy bun will be the way it will be - I hadn't even thought about the July heat, so I certainly wouldn't want it down and me sweating...ugh! So thanks so much for your opinions, you've really helped me out!!

    Getting2Vowels - that's a gorgeous updo!!
