Hair Advice Help!

Trial HairHair Advice Help! 1

My trial went...OK...but i decided I may like it more if i did a side “braid” instead of having the “braid” straight back. My fiancé saw it since we were out and about that day meeting with vendors and made the comment that he thought I would go for a side braid look too, but he still loves it. I cant show pics of my dress because we have a shared account and our wedding is in a couple weeks!! Let’s just say the braid will be a pretty look with it.

Another thing is....i HAVE to have my veil. It’s cathedral length. Will a side braid look weird with a veil? Helpful detail : it’s a beach wedding and i have a lot of hair so pinning back hair in the wind is ideal, but I’m about to say screw it and just do a half up of half down look since I know it’s a safe choice.

Pic of my trial hair and pic of side braid inspo pic i may change it too. Open to thoughts/suggestions/opinions. Stick it out and test side braid day of? Keep as is? Or play it safe with half down half up look? Veil look weird with side braid or nah? (I, unfortunately, can’t do another trial...it’s a destination wedding)

    Your hair is gorgeous! So whatever style you choose, it'll look great. It seems like you're leaning towards a sidebraid and you should do what your most comfortable in. As far as the veil goes, I think the most important thing is the placement of it. I like how these two pics look and think you could pull it off. Also, you most likely won't wear your veil the whole night, so once you take it off, what style will you feel most comfortable with? Does your stylist have social media or a portfolio that you could see pics of side braids they've done in the past? Talk with them about and they should be able to give you honest feedback.

    Thanks girl!! Wow I have barely found any pics of brides with a side braid and veil like that! Thank you for sharing. I may talk to my stylist about switching up the look. We will be flying down a couple days early and my fiancé thinks I should just pay for a second trial and test out the side braid. If I don’t like it then or it doesn’t go with my veil like I’d hoped, switch to the safer option of half up/half down. Just more expenses but may be worth it for piece of mind.

    Lol there weren't many pics of it! But that also shows that it's unique. If it's an expense that you can afford and won't be a financial burden, then I'd recommend doing another trial for peace of mind like you said. You could also try to style your own hair or have someone help you, just to get an idea of how it would look without doing another trial.

    I think the side braid would be really pretty and work with a veil.

    Honestly, I love your hair trial. Might have to show your hairstyle to my hairdresser for mine haha. I absolutely love it. Such good texture. If you are thinking of having it to the side though I would just bite the bullet and pay for another trial for your peace of mind.
