Hair up or down with this dress?

LC01, on February 2, 2019 at 17:19 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 14

Hello brides Smiley smile

This is my dress! I'm having trouble deciding whether to wear my hair up or down. I'm just wondering what your gut instinct is on which would look best with this dress?

I'm planning on having the top of the dress lined so that it's not see through.

    I have an open back dress like that and I am doing a side sweep.

    That way you still get the look of it being down without taking away from the back of the dress.

    Since the back is fairly open, I'd say down given the bride's hair isn't insanely long. I love this dress, though; it's so simple and elegant.

    I think you'd probably want to show off the back, so either an up-do or side-swept Smiley smile

    I like the idea of swept to one side! For sure hair down - but a braid or something so it lets people see the backless part of the dress.

    (Make sure you go bra less the day of the wedding to avoid line marks!!)

    Amazing dress!!!

    How about down but swept to one side? Or down but in some kind of braid?

    The bride in this wedding has a really nice braided style, you can see lots of different angles if you check out the wedding album - Christopher & Roxanne's wedding

    This beachy boho style is also really nice - Syd and Nick's wedding

    Or keep it down but add a little braid to get a little of it up and give it some structure. I think this is a little shorter than your hair is but I personally like the look. This is just a pic I found on Pinterest

    What about some up and some down. I think def some down to cover some of the back while still showing a little sexiness. Dress is gorg too

    Your dress is absolutely beautiful!! I think an up do/shoulder length down would really show off the back of the dress... That being said, if you’re going to be uncomfortable about that much of your back showing, you may feel off/self-conscious throughout your wedding day and that’s not worth it. If you think that much exposed back would cause you anxiety, definitely go with the hair down. Either way, you will look absolutely stunning, but it’s all about how YOU feel! 💕

    My hair is a few inches past my shoulders, and I was actually planning on having clip in extensions to add some volume and length (to mid back length) if I wear it down. I'm on the fence about whether I want that much of my back showing!

    My dress is very similar to yours (open back/v neck).

    I usually wear my hair down so I'm going to do an updo to show off the back/be different.

    How long is your hair? If it’s about should length or shorter it would be ok down. If it’s any longer I would keep it up to show off the open back!
