Are you having your hair up or down??

I have really long hair so I really want to have my hair down. After looking at some gorgeous updo's, now I'm not really sure what I want to do. Both looks are so gorgeous but I always feel like having my hair down is more flattering for myself as I rarely ever wear my hair down. What are your plans...

What are your plans for hair? Or what did you have for your big day? Why did you choose up/down? I need some inspiration.

    I am so torn between up and down. I haven't even looked at dresses yet but I think it will be more clear once I have a dress in mind. I'm leaning more towards down right now. My hair is really thick and usually holds curls very well. I have an oceanfront venue, so I'm a little worried about wind for hair down though

    I'm having a hard time with this one too! I am waiting until I can put my dress back on to see what looks the best with it. You should always go with what you feel the most comfortable!

    Originally I was thinking of doing half up/half down, but after finding the dress, I decided to go with a full undo because it has detail that deserves to be seen.

    Here is what I'm heavily leaning toward right now - without the flowers.

    And the detail on the back of my dress.

    ETA: clarification; sorry the dress pic is sideways, don't know why

    Even though in pictures I often like how it looks down, I really wanted to wear it up because that's how I feel most confident. I wore my hair in a high bun with a few loose pieces around my face.

    I think up. I'm growing my hair out. My hair gets stringy if I leave it down after styling. FH is super happy with anything I do, so he will be fine with it up.

    I hadn't considered the back of my dress.

    I am so glad you are all here to remind me of all the stuff I hadn't considered yet!

    Im having the same issue. I have very long curly, frizzy, thick hair and i have no clue if i want to wear it up or down. Apperently if the bride's hair is up the wedding party's is down? All i know is i want to have some kind of braiding in all out hair no matter if its up or down.

    I had an updo and I'm so glad I did. Between being sick and having hot flashes, I was sweating like crazy.

    I loooove all the inspirations!! That is my biggest struggle.... Hair down is more flattering on myself but my hair does not hold curls very well. Up - which I'm sure will look nice - is not something I'm used to but it is going to be hot out (Mexico) so it really is the more practical route.. Ugh I didn't think picking a hairstyle would be so hard.

    These are what I really like.
