Half up/ half down pros - I love the look, it would look good with a cathedral veil (if I do a veil that'd be the length), it would bring out my highlights. Cons - the curls might not hold and I might get hot.
Braid pros - still cute, will likely hold better, less hot. Cons - would probably look weird with a long veil.
Photos attached of my dress (it has a long train, princess style) and hair pin I plan on using. My wedding theme is Renaissance / Celtic so either would work.
