i have 6 bm and i'm wondering whether i should ask them all to style their hair in updos...
will my pictures look nicer if everyone is consistent or should i have each girl just do her hair the way she wants?
i know most are okay with the updos but a couple of them think their hair looks nicer down...
thanks in advance!
ps..just to clarify, i would never get as specific as to tell them what style their updo should be...just all up or all down or whatever...so there is some sort of uniformity... has anyone noticed that pictures look better or worse either way?

Re: need advice re: bridesmaids' hair
Until recently (before I spoke my friend who also got engaged) I thought that all the bridesmaids should wear their hair the same way. But after speaking to her I realized that I hated being obligated (at 2 weddings) to wear my hair up with curls (I HATE MY HAIR UP), and that letting my BMs pick their own styles was a great idea.
But my question, for the brides getting their hair done at a salon...Are all your bridesmaids going with you to the salon or are you letting them go to their own salons?

As my gift to my 4 girls, I paid for hair & makeup & they did exactly as they wanted!

Marcela-I am letting them all go to their own salon. I gave them the option. I will make appointments for them at my salon or they can go to their own.

Re: need advice re: bridesmaids' hair
I think your pictures will look nice either way! It really is up to you. I was a BM in one wedding where the bride told us we had to wear our hair up. I didn't really care, but some of the girls were REALLY not happy about it.
I agree with Nubride that it is your day and your BMs new they were signing up to wear a dress that they might not love, etc. But I think that you should try to be considerate of their feelings. I personally wouldn't tell my BMs how to wear their hair becuase I saw how upset it made some of my friends in the past.
The newlyweds have been posting wedding pics like crazy! Take a look over there and see how you feel about the BMs hair in those pictures.

Re: need advice re: bridesmaids' hair
I saved myself a lot of heartache, confusion and aggrevation on the day of the wedding by letting my MOH and BM's do their own hair and makeup. All of them went to completely different salons, and did their own makeup. The result was everyone was very happy with their 'look' on the day of my wedding.
I do not believe in making BMs wear the same hairdo, or even making them use a certain stylist or makeup artist. For that matter, I do not think that BM's should all wear the same shoes! I think it is insulting to your BMs. Everyone is an individual and has different tastes. Forcing your choices on them is like saying, the person who would normally do their hair for a special occasion is no good, or that you don't like the way their hair and makeup looked at the last wedding you went to.
Let them do their own thing, and they will be much happier that day.

Re: need advice re: bridesmaids' hair
From someone who feels extremely uncomfortable with her hair up, I say let them do what they want. I would be self-conscious and unhappy if I had to ever wear my hair up, so I would never ask anyone, especially good friends/family, to do the same...
