Hi Nina! (This is Jennifer formerly Mother Goose). I agree with Krista about the side ponytail. It reminded me of (and I can’t believe I’m going to admit this but…) Sophia Bush’s hair in a wedding episode of One Tree Hill (Link, hope it works: http://images1.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/wedding-day-one-tree-hill-girls-1227695_400_275.jpg)

For my wedding I wore my hair up because there is so much of it! I asked the stylist to give me a middle part instead of sweeping it all up because it was less formal and looked more like me. You’ll know what’s right when you see it. Can’t wait for pics!

I have no doubt that you will look beautiful either way, but given that you said you have a lot of hair and it will be August, I definitely recommend wearing it up! This way, it will be off your shoulders and you won’t have to worry about it not staying put, falling flat, etc. Although I also have up-do anxiety, I think that with a practice run to work things out it will be fine! : )

I can’t wait to see what you decide, that hair piece is to die for!!!

I agree that it’s important to look like yourself on your wedding! I wore my hair completely up for mine, and I’m glad that I did because it was one less thing to worry about. Still, I had really long hair and looking back kind of wished that I had worn it down, at least partially. I like the idea of a non-structured updo and think that both of those photos look great. I took pictures into my stylist during my practice session, and she was able to work things really well

I had two veils- one was cathedral and then the other was fingertip, and I also wore combs in my hair, so I worried about how I wanted my hair. I wore half of it up away from my face because I didn’t want to be tucking my hair behind my ears all night. It kinda looked liked Monica’s from “Friends” when she got married on the show, but I had a little more poof! You will look gorgeous regardless how you do your hair! Enjoy this exciting time!:)

What about wearing your hair in a low, side-swept curly ponytail? That’s a terrible description, but something like this: http://www.modelbride.com/content/view.php?content_id=005484&category_id=007308 or this: http://www.shoppinglifestyle.com/gallery/celebrityhairstyles/photo/index.asp?333 I think it’s perfectly romantic, yet simple and understated. And it pulls your hair mostly off your neck, so it should help keep you cool! I’ve seen it done for weddings a few times and it always looks beautiful. Many of the brides I’ve seen have added a little color with a sweet little flower, which also looks nice! Whatever you decide to do will be great I’m sure – you are going to be a beautiful bride!!

As someone who is BFFFFF with her hairdresser, take TONS of pics to her!! It gives her an idea of the different styles that you consider ideal, which is even more helpful than just 1 perfect pic. I'm not married, but I have never left the salon with an updo I hated when I bring pics. .-= ClassyFabSarah´s last blog ..Razed =-.

Nina,
You are going to think I’m nuts BUT, I got married in July also and I originally wanted to wear my hair down also. But, literally the night before my wedding I was TRYING to fall asleep and I had this vision of myself outside our reception venue with sticky wet hair stuck to my shoulders and back. Sick, right? After that I made a mental note that I was going to wear my hair up the next day and then I was able to fall asleep, haha.

The next morning as I was sitting in the hair dresser’s chair, waiting for my turn and doing my make-up, I just casually mentioned to her that I wanted to wear it up. I totally trust her so I wasn’t worried. I just told her generally what I wanted and she did it. I was actually glad that my practice hair was down because I didn’t have any expectation of what it would look like. I think it would have been bad if she had done something amazing the first time and then the day of the wedding it wasn’t quite like I wanted or remembered.

I will say this, while you are in the chair for your practice apointment and then on the day of, pay attention to what she is doing. If it looks to big, ask her to pull it down some, if it is too flat to your head or your bangs look weird, ask her to fix it. You will be much happier in the long run. If it isn’t looking right from the start, it isn’t going to look right in the end.

Sorry to write you a novella! Have fun at the hair stylist!

I totally understand your dilemma. We were married in August in Richmond and lucked out to have only a 85 degree day.

After much debate, I decided to split the difference and have my hair half up/half down. I NEVER wear my hair up so having it down made me feel more like myself and at the end of the day I decided that was most important to me. I also realized that I would be hot wearing my dress and dancing so having my hair up or down wasn’t really going to make that much difference either way. As long as you are happy with how you look either way will be perfect. GOOD LUCK!
