Bridal hair - up or down?

I have a halterneck dress and long brown hair, about 5 inches below my bra strap, and I am wearing it up. I don't really like my hair in my face and there is less chance of it staying in the one place all day if it is down, so I've decided to have mine put up.

I think it depends how you prefer to wear your hair, I rarely wear mine down and I really don't want to have it annoying me all day.

Thanks

I wear my down always (because I am bad at putting it up!) I have dark brown thick hair so was thinking having it up would lighten up things; but then I thought maybe if I have no straps or anything on my dress I should wear it down...

Think i am just fussing again

Best of both and go half up / half down? Have a look on Pinterest and see what you like the look of?

Hmm, I can't really help as I'm equally as conflicted - I always wear my hair down, and don't really like having it up, but to me up seems more 'bridey' so I think that's what I want. Plus I want it to be out of the way so I'm not faffing with it all day! I'm hoping to find someone who can do an up-do with a lot of volume, but we shall see......

Just as something to think about though, my (one-day-to-be) sister-in-law got married a couple of weeks ago, and left her hair down because that's the way she's always worn it, and it's how her husband likes it. He'd actually said (his one opinion on the day!) that he'd like it if she could keep it down because that's what she always looks like, is who he fell in love with, and why would she want to look different just cos it's her wedding day? So maybe if you're really struggling to decide your H2B might have an opinion?!

I ummed and ahh-ed over this for ages!! I like it down my hubby likes it down but because my dress had a high neckline everybody said I should wear it up.

In the end I went with my gut and had it down and curly although I didn't love how it looked I just gave up by the morning! I was happy with my choice and felt more like me although when I looked in the mirror at about 4pm I literally looked like I'd been dragged through a hedge! It didn't last the night well at all bits had gone fluffy and straight but that may have been the fact it wasn't done properly.

Anyway what I mean is I always wear my hair down and I'm glad I chose to just make sure if you do you keep going to the toilet to make sure you don't look too disheveled!

I feel I don't really have much choice on this one. My hair is naturally a disaster, curly but fuzzy at the same time. I can straighten beyond belief but any moisture in the air and it fuzzes up. Think Monica's humidity hair!

so mine is going up, my dress is strapless too. I'm also using my hair to create some height cos I'm a lot shorter than h2b. I've had a good look on Pinterest and found loads of ideas.

If it's any help, I had a strapless dress and I had long hair when I got married. I had a half up, half down style that felt comfortable for me. My hair never stays up, even with a bucket of hairspray!!! Check my report if you want to for photos x

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, it's not easy is it! I asked H2B and he said whatever you feel comfortable with! I want to look a bit different but not totally different. I still want to look half decent in the evening! I like the idea of half and half .. Thanks for the Pinterest tip - loads to choose from! Think I will get the hairdresser to try a few and take some pics!
