Blonde or Brown? :)

Monique, on February 19, 2013 at 6:03 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 30

Hello Everyone,

I am new to Wedding Wire, I stumbled upon it earlier today & I love it.

I was hoping to get a few objective opinions on what color I should have my hair for my May 2013 wedding.

I am naturally brunette but am currently blonde. I am just trying to figure out which color suits me better. I realize that my picture with the blonde hair looks like a mugshot, but its all I had on hand to upload for now. Smiley smile

Any suggestions would be so appreciated.

Thank you!

    Hi Monique, welcome!

    I prefer you as a brunette. I probably wouldn't go all the way back to the first pic, but just tone it down a little - like the ends in your second pic.

    Congrats and happy planning! I hope you'll stick around and make one of those your avatar :-)

    Brunette.. Love dark hair.. But you look great in both.. Do what color you feel you look best in.

    I am having this internal debate as well and I'm leaning toward brunette for myself.... I asked my FH he says he likes both but likes me as a brunette. BUT I changed back to blonde because my dad always refers to me as the blonde daughter, so I know he would secretly love it if I was blonde for the wedding...

    As for you...I agree with Mrs. S a lighter brunette not as dark as the first picture...

    Hi Monique.

    I like them both! It's hard because you are smiling in the brunette picture and not the blonde. I think I like the blonde better. Either way they both look good. Congrats on the engagement. & good luck with the planning.

    Brunette! Such a classic look for a bride! I was blonde for the last year and recently went back to brunette so I didn't have to do it right before.

    Welcome to Wedding Wire. I normally do not offer any suggestions on a woman's hair, but since you asked, I prefer brunette.

    I like the dark hair. With your complexion, it really makes the contrast between your hair and your face striking. It may be that I'm also brunette, so I'm a little biased.

    Monique, I'm having the same problem...although I'm currently brunette. You look great in both, but I prefer your brunette over the blonde Smiley winking Good luck deciding!

    I think you look great as either. I am personally going my natural color with a little blonde so I look like myself on my wedding day. I usually think its better when brides don't stray too far from their natural hair color.

    What I wanted for my wedding was to look like me, so in 30 years when I look at the pictures with my kids they won't be like "who the heck is that blonde woman with dad?" So I went back to my natural colour (brown) before the wedding. I think hubby would like it if I went back to blonde now, though...
