Half-Up or All Up? Help!

Half-Up or All Up? Help!

I had my first hair trial last week with Natalie Buketov. It went rather well. She also did my make-up, knowing I was already probably going to book with my first make-up artist. I let her know up front and she still did my make-up which I think is cool of her. I just don’t know whether to do my hair half-up or all up for the wedding. My fiance doesn’t give a clear answer of which he prefers and the vote goes about 50/50 from my friends. I’m not sure which style I like more - I’m having commitment issues. Maybe you readers can help me.

Here are the facts:
1. I’m getting married on the beach, which I think leans more toward a casual half-up do. But it is always windy on the beach which would lean towards an all updo. Haha see, how I confuse myself.
2. My dress is strapless, white and pretty fancy. It’s not your typical beach wedding dress. Haha I’m so detailed aren’t I? Can’t you just picture it now? I’m sorry. I’ll post pictures later!

All Up:

What do you think? Half-Up or all up?

I totally think half up would be amazing with your face. Also, with a strapless dress, I think it’ll really look fantastic. An updo with a strapless seems so formal to me. Half up on the beach seems fun.

I like the way it looks down. But it may feel more comfortable being all up, so when your dancing and what not? With it up, the 2 strips in front I’m not crazy about, I think it may look even better all pulled back?
Either way you’ll look gorgeous

I like either but don’t like the two curls hanging down.

I like half-up, but I don’t think the two curls are very flattering.

Why the curls in the front? It detracts so much from your beautiful face! Your hair is gorgeous and I think I like it best with it down. Just think of all those romantic pictures with your hair blowing out behind you on the beach

Half up half down looks amazing. Your hair is gorgeous and this style really shows it off.

I like it all up–without the two curls in the face. You look so pretty in both!!

I vote for half up! It will help balance out the fanciness of your dress, and be perfect for the beach.

Agreed with everyone else–the two curls in the face reminds me ofa high school prom in 1998.

My God! I am so envious of your beautiful hair! Is it all yours or extensions? I lik the half up, but I think I would go for slightly looser curls to give it more of a beach look. The make up is nice and soft and seems to work with the halfup.

first off - both run-throughs look great!!
i personally like the half-up look better..i can totally picture your hair at a beach wedding~ i agree w/ the other ladies about nixing the two strands in the front..
also - if you are having a beach wedding..how about some more lighter/shimmery/goldish makeup?..in terms of eyeshadow at least? a glimmery glow would compliment a beach environment..just a thought~ maybe you could ask mrs. snail for her advice? your pics look great though!!

I think the up-do is very flattering minus the front two curls! Beautiful! If you like the two curls in the front, you can ask the stylist to pin them to the side of the hair-do and it’ll make a great alternative!
