Shaving arms?

This might sound silly but how many people shave their arms or plan to shave their arms for the wedding day? I’ve never been a huge fan of the hair on my arms but I have never done anything to try to remove it. I have been getting lots of questions if I’m going to start shaving my arms for the wedding and I’ve never really thought of it and started to make me think should I? If you don’t pay attention to my arms you won’t notice the hair but if you do pay attention to my arm it then there’s a lot to notice. So just not sure what to do.

I haven't shaved my arms since I was about 12 😂 I'm so surprised people have been asking you that! Tell them to mind their own business 🤷

I don't plan on it but I also have fine blonde hair on my arms that isn't easily seen. I wouldn't shave it, especially if you typically don't. Looking back you'll think your arms look odd in photos.

I have PCOS and dark hair. I use Nair on my arms because they make me self-conscious. If your hair bothers you, go for it.

If shaving isn't what you normally do I would get it waxed. I just used clippers on mine to get rid of it the day before.

I shave my arms every week. I don’t even care if people think it’s weird lol. No one notices either way.

If it's not something you normally do, I wouldn't do it for your wedding either, unless it makes you self conscious. I guess it probably does make you self conscious anyway since someone with no manners asked you about it. If you do decide to remove it, I would go with a hair removal cream like Nair or Veet instead of shaving.

I shave my arms regularly, especially in the summer. I have very fair skin and dark hair so it's noticeable. Thanks to some bullies in middle school it's always been a confidence thing for me.

I shaved my arms a couple times in middle and high school and it was terrible. I have light skin and a lot of long dark hair, but shaving just made it more noticeable. Also made it really prickly after just a few hours. I'll never do it again...although I might wax them at some point, just not for the wedding.

I shave my arms all the time. Maybe once every two months. It grows so slow. It’s so faint no one would really notice the hair one way or the other except for myself.

I do all the time! I just prefer no hair, one day I'll get laser hair removal on my arms for sure. I shave them once a week or so, but I don't have super thick hair. I can't believe someone asked you that though, that's insane. I'd do it if YOU want but not for anyone else. You could also look into Nair or Waxing.
