How would you wear your hair with this dress?

I am having a 'Great Gatsby' themed wedding....and I want to wear my hair like Jean Harlow (finger waves?) Or do you think I should just go for the pinned back off my face with a low full bun look?

Pick of me...and dress...

Honestly I think either style would look great!

I say go for a trial and do both options and see which one you like better.

Back. Low bun and cathedral veil. I don't think the hair should take away from the amazing gown, and yet a bun would look very chic.

I agree. Your dress is eye catching so you want to keep the hairstyle simple and classic. That way, everyone will focus on your beautful face and your dress. Good luck.

i agree that the low full bun is the way to go. Maybe with a simple hair adornment.

Is this the Harlow look you have in mind? (below) I think it is very pretty, I think it will add to the theme of your wedding, but I would get a trial with a couple of different choices..

Jean Harlow

I agree with the other girls. I think a low bun would look beautiful and elegant, yet wouldn't take away from your gorgeous dress!

Re: How would you wear your hair with this dress?

I love the low bun idea. Your hair is on the long side and I can't picture finger waves with it that length. BUT, either way you will look beautiful!

Re: How would you wear your hair with this dress?

Truthfully, I'm not a huge fan of the fingerwave and I don't think it goes with your dress... however, have it done and see how you like it. I'm a big fan of the simple loose low bun!

PS..... gorgeous dress!!!

Re: How would you wear your hair with this dress?

The Great Gatsby is my all time FAVORITE!!! I think that is so awesome!! Try your hair in the finger waves first and see how it comes out. If you love it don't go for the bun. The fingerwaves is so Gatsby. What else are you doing?
