Need to decide on a hairstyle. Low bun or high bun for a ball gown?

Soon To Be Mrs. Dunn, on April 9, 2013 at 5:42 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19

Hi, Ladies. this is my very first post here and I was wondering. What would look good with a ball gown wedding dress? I want to have my hair in a bun but i dont know it i want it high or a low one. Also my wedding is in the summer and it tends to get really hot in Louisiana but my wedding taking place inside in a church. Thank you all for taking the time out and reading my post.

    Welcome! I personally like lower buns better. To me they look more elegant and less "prom." Good luck with your planning!

    I like the low bun. Do you have a picture of your dress? If you are having your hair professionally done you should talk to your speak with your stylist for ideas as well.

    Hi, welcome!

    I always think this is the wrong question. The right question is what looks good on YOU, and not what looks good for the dress.

    Congrats and happy planning!

    Mrs. S is on point. I wanted my hair in a high bun for my wedding. I wanted more impact and wanted to be different from all of the low buns I was seeing. Some of my inspiration...

    What looks best with your face/neck/shoulders?

    What kind of neckline does your ballgown have?

    Will you wear a veil/earrings/necklace?

    Hi, here is the front of my dress and I don't have a pic of me in my dress. So I found it on the DB site.

    I prefer loose low buns myself. It really just depends on you and the overall look/vibe you want and how you view things. I'm not a high bun girl, cuz I see it as princessy and I hate having my hair pulled completely up.

    Low bun. High buns remind me of prom or little girls.

    Lower and loose for that dress (and P.S it's my favorite in that style that they have right now) I would start out with it a bit tighter though if your hair tends to "fall out" after a while, that way you get more lasting from it throughout the entire event

    I would go with what feels comfortable with you, myself I'm wearing a high bun for my wedding day, I have a veil and a beautiful head band, I had a vision in mind when I was picking out my dress and veil and head band

    Oh, I'm not sure if you wear buns, but try out high and low before hand for the day, sometimes they can cause headaches so you want to be sure that isn't the case for you depending on each style
