Blonde or brunette for the wedding?

Mrs. Gresham, on August 30, 2011 at 9:28 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 29

I am having a tough time deciding on my hair color for the wedding! I recently went back to brunette for the first time in about 5 years! I really love it but I also love my hair blonde! Help?

    I think you should go with whatever feels more like "you" if that makes any sense... my hairstylist tried to convince me to get highlights before the wedding, and I said no because I just wanted to look like myself, lol. If you feel more like a blonde then maybe go back to that-- but personally I think it looks very pretty in the top picture. Nice color and nice highlights too.

    I prefer you as a brunette but, as RobinRockr said, have your hair the way that you like it the most. Ultimately you have to be happy with how you look.

    Were you blonde when you tried on and decided to buy your wedding dress? If so, do you think that you could try your dress on again so that you could see what you'd look like on your wedding day with brunette hair? Maybe that'd help you make your decision.

    What does your FH prefer? you can go with his preference or I agree with Robin, do what feels more like you.

    I have many people telling me to wear my hair this way, that way, but I've always wear my hair down and frankly do not feel like I should do something different on the day that I'm supposed to be comfortable. Do what feels right for you and maybe your FH. Mine is very opiniated when it comes to how I wear my hair, he likes my hair down like I do.

    I like the way you look as a brunette, but I also agree with some of the people above about doing what feels right, and try on your dress that way you have a better idea what you'll look like on the wedding day.

    I generally say go with what is closest to your natural color, and the brunette looks more natural on you.

    Yes it was blonde when I picked my dress. And as for my FH he says he likes the two colors equally lol so in other words he does not want to be responsible for that decision lol!!! Gotta love men! I am leaning toward keeping it brown like the 1st pic, but of course my mom goes and says "I like your hair this color, but I really love you as a blonde" !!! But I think I will stay with brown!

    I like the brunette better, but once again, you have to go with what you feel more comfortable.

    I really like the first picture with the highlights. I would go what makes you feel better. What made you go back to brunette? I would look at your reasons as to why you changed it recently. If you use this color for the wedding and then go back to blonde right away and keep it, will you be upset you didn't change it for the wedding pictures?

    I think the darker looks better with your skin tone. I know it's partially the picture, but the blonde makes you look really washed out.

    First pic...which I'm assuming you're saying is brunette ... but it just looks like a darker blonde. Either way, I like the first picture better Smiley smile

    Both ways look pretty. But the brown is very flattering with your skin tone. You can always add a few more highlights around you face and you wouldn't feel so "brown". More in the middle of blond/brown.

    Darker hair looks much better to me, but go with what makes you happy.
