Hair do that would look best with my dress?

Hi girls,

I am deciding between all up or half up...I am really torn, and I don't know which to do. I will be having my first hair trial in a few weeks. Every time I wear my hair 'half-up' my FH says it looks like I have a mullet (thanks), and I obviously want to look attractive to him the day-of, so maybe I should just go all-up...

Anyway, here is a pic of my dress - since the back is so open, should I definitely do all-up, or would it look good with half-up to? I have long hair.

a Very simple 'up do' - well, quasi - up-do...a lower bun, but loose, and keeping it curly and having a few curls fall very slightly in the back and on the sides.

I guess very 'Victorian'

if it makes any sense!

yes, I know exactly what you mean - I was thinking of doing something 'loose' with curls...for the romantic look - also, the place I am getting married (Capitale) has a Victorian feel to it too -thanks for the suggestion!

That sounds a lot like what I have been trying to find pics of. Here are two I have come across.

I would do all up. You have such a dramatic back, show it off. Beautiful dress.

I think the Sandra Bullock pic would be gorgeous on you and really show off that spectacular dress!
