I'm actually doing the opposite. I let my hair go back to its natural color for the wedding and then I'm going blonde afterwards.

Re: Is anyone else / did anyone else
sexy mima with that dark hair!
mine will be dark brown for the wedding - its naturally a dark ash blonde which is yucky - ive been practically platinum blonde to black and all the colors in between but the most natural looking and most common color for my hair to be is a dark brown - im going to start coloring it again professionally next month so that its good for the wedding - since we got engaged i started letting my rooots grow out sooooo bad! trying not to spend money on myself - need it all for the wedding! but my hair will be like it is in my avatar pic or maybe a tad darker

My hair is highlighted BLONDE -- I have one more appointment for more blone and then she will start to low light it.
So to answer your question NO I will not be using my natural color -- which is an auburn color. I like to think of it as my own color but enhanced!

I did. My hairdresser told me to go as natural as possible. She told me that the highlights sometimes show up too much on camera and can look fake?? i dont know - this is what she told me so i just took her advice.

Re: Is anyone else / did anyone else
I am so sick of dying my hair. I've been highlighting it blonde for like 10 years ... and it's sooo hard to stop. It's naturally a dark blonde - by now it looks brown actually. It's gotten darker as I've gotten older.
After the wedding, maybe in early December, I am cutting it like v. beckham I think and going to try to go natural. i'd love to be a nice rich brown but that would mean more dying. however, i might start using a box since the salon gets expensive (even though mine is relatively cheap).
men have it soooo easy.

Re: Is anyone else / did anyone else
My hair is going to be nothing even close to my natural color I naturally have dark brown hair but have it dyed red and blonde. I just think it will be sexier for the wedding. I think for me having just one color especially brown is boring and does nothing for me. After the wedding is a different story. I am dying to dye my hair dark but after having it like this that would be a drastic change.

I'm tired of the hightlights and I miss my dark dark hair. I feel like I don't even look Italian anymore w/all of the highlights!

Re: Is anyone else / did anyone else
I stayed with my highlights. Actually I considered toning it down..which I should have but just never did and many people talked me out of it.
After my hair trial, I decided I liked the way it looked when highlighted...it just added texture. I cant explain it, but when my hair is all one color, it tends to look flat....the updo doesnt show up as good as it does with highlighted hair!

Re: Is anyone else / did anyone else
I prefer more natural hair on a bride - im all for trends and trendiness - but i dont really like anything that looks fake on a bride - whether its her hair, make up, nails and the tan - i guess being from staten island im just sick of that staten island look and when brides look that way i like natural, classic beauty

you are so much better off!! everyone said i would regret messing with my hair - and they were right - i do - although i did love doing some crazy colors to my hair - but i was also younger when i did that stuff- last year i did it like an eggplant color and i liked it - but i dont know, something about getting older, i just like more natural - sometimes when things are too fake it looks trashy - i never felt that way until i got older - when i was younger i liked everything fake fake fake - but now i like natural

That is definitely possible but I am not going to have my hair a certain way just so I dont look back and say I had awful hair You know your kids will find something to make fun of no matter what I would rather love the way I look now then go for a boring look just so it doesnt look out dated later on. So many brides I've seen have gone back to their natural color and I want to be different, sometimes natural is boring But to each his own. No matter what though you have to be happy with your decision, I just think with the way I am doing my hair it will just look better having the two colors. I get so many compliments on my color that I am not going to experiment and try changing it now.

BUT i have to say you are 100% right about the updo and highlights - your updo wouldnt have looked as great without the dimension your color gave it - for instance, if i do the same exact style for my wedding its going to look a lot more plain and it would probably look boring on me b/c my hair is dark and one color....i think that because you did a classic style the highlights dont look too trendy - your wedding ensemble was very classical so i dont think you will look back and regret it at all...
