Bridesmaid's hair?

Misty, on March 4, 2013 at 10:51 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22

I'm wearing my hair down, no veil, and I'm wearing a bridal headband. I'm trying to decide if I want my MOH to wear her hair down or up or something in between. I'm thinking I don't really want it to look like mine, but do you think styles will clash? Here are my gown and my headband. And then here's her dress. I found a cute flower headband on etsy. What do you think? Do you have a plan for your attendants' hair?

    Here's a headband I found. I was thinking of matching the flower on the bridesmaid dress. Do you think it would look out of place with the looking I'm doing? The next picture is what I'm going for with my hair...

    I have told my bridesmaids that they can do whatever they like with their hair and to bring an idea for the hairdresser on the wedding day. My thought is that I want everyone to feel beautiful and comfortable they way they are dressed and done up. I am doing my hair up and my maid of honor has decided to leave hers down. I'm not sure about the other girls yet.

    God no. Telling women how they have to wear their hair is very dangerous.

    I told my girls to do whatever they wanted. In fact one of my bm text me asking about it because she wanted to get her hair cut. I say do whatever you want because the more comfortable they feel the happier they will be. I don't want any nasty nellies at my wedding over hair lol

    This, exactly!

    Let me do what they want. Ultimately you want the girls to feel confidant and beautiful which will look way better in pictures than hair! You are the one in the big white dress, no one will confuse you because you have similar hair.

    I agree with the others. Let them do their hair as they want and feel comfortable.

    For my brothers wedding, my SIL said we could do our hair however we want as long as its up. I'm sorry but that's not "however we want." I HATE my hair in an updo. It simply does not look good on me. Before the wedding, I cut my hair very short so that it was too short to go completely up in an updo. Yes, I was THAT bridesmaid lol but hey, I got what I want and was comfortable and felt beautiful, and my SIL actually LOVED my hair on the wedding day when all was said and done.

    I let my bridesmaids have their hair done however they wanted. My MOH had an updo, I had an updo and my bridesmaid had hers halfway up with lots of curl.

    For my SIL's wedding this past weekend, I had an updo. Again, she let me have my hair however I wanted.

    I am wearing mine down and asked the girl to wear it up any way they want. Which is not a problem most of the time they wear it up anyways.

    This is not an issue for me... 3 of the 4 have short hair and the other is my hairdresser - so whatever she wants works for me.

    Let them do whatever they would like. They know what feels good for them and I am sure what looks best too.

    I would laugh if a bride told me how to wear my hair. How controlling does that seem?! I want my girls to feel and look good and they can do whatever they want to. I just told them nothing outrageous which I don't have to worry about anyway!

    I'm letting my girls do/have their hair however they feel comfortable. Hairstyles are not universal. What looks good on one girl, will probably not translate the same on another.

    I am going to let all but one decide how they will wear their. My niece is a BM but doesn't ever want to do her hair or wear a dress. So I am trying to decide how she should wear her hair, most likely down.

    My daughter says they can wear their hair the way they want, it's their hair.

    I was a BM in a friend's wedding and all 8 bridesmaids had their hair done the EXACT same way. I don't care how my BM's have their hair, as long as they don't have the same style as me (down and pulled to the side), so whether they want it all down, half up or in an updo, I don't care! I want them to be able to have an opinion on how their hair is done Smiley smile

    I understand you just dont want to look like your bridesmaids and while it is a legitamate concern I dont think you should worry too much because you will stand out anyway. I was thinking maybe you could ask them to do something other than 'all down' style, like 'half up' or full updo. The only thing with this is that all down styles would be the easiest for anyone to do on their own without a professional stylist. So unless you are paying for them to have their hair down it might be potentially stressful on some bridesmaids who are not planning on getting it done by a stylist. They might feel like they have to get it done up...Maybe you could print your picture and just show everyone, so they get the idea to avoid that style.

    I dont think its controlling at all, in my opinion it looks cleaner if all decide up, down or half up. i prefer it all up. my BM actually asked how i would like them to wear it and all but 1 agreed to up and the one who doesnt like to wear it up said she will since its my day. controlling would be giving them a picture and say you must wear your hair this way

    My plan is to let them wear it the way they feel beautiful. I'm also going to have them wear whatever shoes they want and also their make-up.

    I'm planning to choose a color dress and let them choose their style as well.

    I'm not picky....oops not to say you are : )
