    How are your bridesmaid's having their hair? Something you have chosen or let them decide?
    Also, are you wanting them to have anything in their hair? Like a comb, tiara, flowers, gems? Or are you leaving it quite simple?

    Reason I ask, is my hairdresser was asking what they were thinking of having, and when to come in for trial so she can meet their 'hair' to bring whatever they are having in it, and I haven't given it a seconds thought to be honest!

    my sisters is DEAD stright and lovely gleden blonde and she literally jsut lets it dry naturally not even one kink at all.

    She had it up and a few curls for when she was a BM and it took so many times of curling the same bit and a can of hiar spray just to ge tit to hold and stay in place as it just doesnt do anything (even with curling tongs or 203degree straightners lol) xx

    we were originally going for half up and half down pulled to a side pony but we decided at the trial that just half up half down looked fine. my other BM's hair wasn't as long so she went for curls all over.

    I think that you have to have styles that suit your bridesmaids, we all had different hair do's but you couldn't tell really

    I think I'd like my bridesmaids to all have a similar hairstyle....
    And I think I'd get whoever I get to do my hair to do theirs too x

    I've told my bridesmaids I would like them to have their hair up but I don't mind how it goes up if that makes sense. x

    i am having the same issues/questions... its so tough as you will need to please them... i am hoping that my hairdresser will choose ideas for me as one has really really long blonde hair and the other has shoulder length blonde hair!

    iam thinking.... that we will all have different styles as 1 style wont suit us all!

    See i told them they could have whatever they want, whatever they are comfortable with. It is nice when they have similar or matching hairstyles but wouldn't force that upon them. Luckily they both have shoulder length quite thin, naturally straightish hair...very similar so whatever they do will look nice. They are quite easy going, i just want them to be comfortable and happy with their choices, but they keep saying its your day, we'll do whatever you want bla bla im like bug off stop being so nice and make a decision on your own!!!

    The problem I've got is my hair!! long, VERY thick and naturally wavy... and doesn't like curling... each time i go to hairdressers she does a different curl / trial and tells me to FB her 4 hrs later with the results... so far nothing has worked :( I dont want plain straight on the day, definitely down as thats me, but im the one whos having the issues!!

    The one with short hair had it simple with a hair band and the one with long hair tried out a style she wants her bridesmaids to have. So I let them decide but my MOH will be deciding for hers. I wanted my BM's to be comfortable and happy so the chose their own shoes and jewellery as well

    I've decided I want them both to have a simple french roll with either a small sparkly clip or pins in it too. I don't want anything fancy as the whole style for my dress and theirs is simple and classic and sophisticated. They're both taller and skinnier than me so they'll look stunning with a simple up do.

    I'm not doing massively sophistaced hair for my bms as I don't think it will suit them....

    (nothing to do with I don't want them stealing the show gahaha)

    But seriously, I think it needs to be what suits them rather than all matching. Personally, I hate too fussy hair styles, I think they make people look uncomfortable xx

    I haven't really thought about hair yet. My sisters wedding myself & the other 2 bm's had low side buns with a wee comb that had a diamanté design on it, we found them whilst on her hen party in Manchester. Was one of them wee stalls in a shopping mall & they were £6 each but we got the 3 for £15 & they looked gorgeous in the bun.

    I think my bm's hair will depend on mine, if mine is up theirs will be down & vice versa. Yes I want them to be comfortable but I want them to match & be different from me.

    I'm not too sure yet, all my bridesmaids have gorgeous hair so it would be a shame for them to have it tied back. Maybe have it down as i am but with a twist to the side. xx

    I told my bridesmaid's they could pick on the day, but they saw mine and wanted the same! I been telling them they can't for ages and they say they really want it like mine. :( xx

    Ha ha, you will have to have something even better, or if it's possible let them have something like yours but more simplified?

    I never been bridezilla about anything, but I don't want to match them at all! I'm the bride and don't want to match the bridesmaids, if that makes sense! I'm sure if i tell my hair dresser not to allow it she wont xx

    Yea I see what you mean, the bride has to look better than the bridesmaids.

    I mean my bridesmaid is skinny as hell and is always made up, I'm more of a plain jane and a bit on the bigger side so I don't want people saying oh doesn't the bridesmaid look beautiful and not really comment on me as the bride lol.

    Indeedy, I'm currently losing weight anyway so hopefully I'll be down a few dress sizes by September so I'll feel a lot better about it all.

    Elliekitty I'm not a bridezilla (yet) but I definitely wouldn't let my bm's have the same hair as me. I am a kinda plain Jane too & rarely wear make up so want to me the beautiful bride & for one day have everyone looking at me :)
