BP Hairstyles

Is it completely unheard of to suggest designated hair styles for the BP? I want everyone to look uniform.

I don't think so, in the weddings i've been in the bride has 'suggested' a style and let us have it done in our own way. You will also have to account for the different girls hair, like short, or curly, mine is long and straight but so thick it won't hold a curl more than a half hour, so they may not all look exactly the same.

It is not unheard of, but I have found it to be such an unpleasant experience when told how to wear my hair. I did it anyway because it is the brides day, but i didn't like it one bit.

I dont think this is terribly unreasonable. if you picked out ONE updo and told them they all had to have that, you might get a lot of push back, but if you said do an updo - whatever updo style you like best - i'm sure your girls can each find something that flatters them but it still up.

i let my girls do whatever they wanted because they each have different hair styles/lengths etc, so it was just easier to say 'do what makes you happy' - they all had it done professionally anyway so it came out beautiful.

I think it's okay to ask, but I feel if you make your bridesmaids do anything (besides buy a dress) you should pay for it. I gave my girls the option of having their hair and make-up professionally done. It depends on the hair stylist I think, but up-dos often cost more money.

Trust me YOU will stand out. NO ONE else is going to look like you. It doesn't matter if their hair is exaclty the same as you or someone else...no one will ever mistake a bridesmaid for a bride.

I can tell you this...you want your bridesmaid to be happy and to feel pretty too. With that many girls they will never agree so let them do what they want. Up, down, whatever. The happier they are the happier you will be. It seems such a small thing to ask but it really isn't. Not everyone likes the way they look with their hair up so if you make them they will just be miserable about it. And you don't want that the day of.

You can ask suggest that they wear it a certain way. I would rather just tell them to wear their hair any way they feel comfortable, as long as it isn't too crazy. You'll stand out as the beautiful bride either way.

Re: BP Hairstyles

I don't think so. I did a lot of 'do whatever you want' even with the dresses I let them all pick what dress they wanted I just told them the material, color, and designer. BUt for some uniform I asked them all to wear half up and half down. They didn't all do that exactly but it was close enough and as it got closer the last thing I was worried about was my bridal party.

I will say though don't go crazy with the uniform. My friend told us what shoes to buy, our dress (of course), what kind of hair style (all the exact same), way make up had to be, what side to part our hair, and even what type of nails we had to wear. That to me is a little overboard but that JMO. But I don't think it's out of the ordinary to ask certain hair styles.

Good thing they all love the dresses

I have been in a BP where we all had to have the bump it front and half up in the back, it was ridiculous because there were some girls that it just didn't suit the shape of their face.

Having said that, just asking your girls to wear their hair all up is NOT a big deal at ALL!!! I don't think you're being crazy.

I just asked the girls to have their hair up and they all did their own thing and their hair came out amazing!
