Ballgown hairstyle

I think hairstyle depends more on the top half of the dress than the bottom. Do you have a picture of your dress?

Actually I have a picture of just the top half (I didn't think to snap a picture of me actually in it and it's a lot of dress lol)

ETA: I also didn't think about the top half affecting the hair more than the dress as a whole, so thank you for pointing that out!!

I think down and curled would go with that. Maybe just take two bits one from either side and pin them in back together.

My sister actually did a low curled ponytail with her ballgown. All of her detail was in her skirt. With your bodice, I would probably do a loose, low updo with that.

I think half up/half down would look nice. I would actually recommend a style kind of like mine that will keep your hair behind your shoulders. That way you can show off the neckline of the dress.

That picture is what I was trying to explain. I'm no good with beauty stuff. My hair is the longest it has been since high school cause of wedding so I was no good at explaining it lol.

Thank y'all very much I'm trying to get away with half down but a loose updo might be a good compromise!

I have a sweetheart neckline as well and am planning to do it sidesweot with curls. Basically pinned back on one side with a few loose pieces of hair and all tucked to the other shoulder and curled.

I have a strapless ballgown as well, and I am considering this hairstyle. I dont like the way my face looks with all my hair pulled back, but at the same time, I dont want a bunch of hair in my face all night. This side swept braid look might do the trick, but my stylist is going to work with me on it a bit, try a few options.

I had a ball gown and half up half down is a great idea.

I have a ball gown and plan on doing half up half down

I personally like when brides wear their hair up when they wear ball gowns. It is the most classic, timeless look.

My gown was between an A-line and a ballgown the first time I got married, and I wore my hair in an up-do.

My dear friend who is a professional hair and make-up artist also thought this was the best idea to ensure that my pics turned out well so that I would not have my hair hiding my face from any angle, etc.

I have a ballgown as well and am trying to decide the same thing. Leaning towards half up/half down.

Mine wasn't a ball gown per say, but definitely a fuller A-line. I did wear mine up though! I think it made for a classic look!

My dress:

I don't think ballgown matters, it's the top of the dress. If you're doing strapless, I personally think down or partially down is nicer.

So first of all, your dress is STUNNING from what I can see.

Second, typically with a strapless you can kind of go either way with your hair. I can definitely see a half up/half down style with this or a full updo. I think a loose, low updo would look best.

I'm going to wear my hair like this. I'll post a pic of my dress next but I'm on mobile.

This is my dress

Your dress is GORGEOUS!

I have a big ballgown too and want mine sort of down, but to the side, kind of like this
