BM's hair- is it matching yours? *flash added*

Wife In Training, 30 July, 2014 at 16:38 Posted on Planning 0 11

Hi all,

I'm only having one BM and I've asked her to let me know how she wants her hair to look on the day.

She has gone for a very similar style to mine (loose curls pinned up in a kind of relaxed bun- although she has longer hair so I'm guessing she'll have a more 'full' overall look). She says she has gone for this a) because she likes the style and b) because it will match my hair.

Is it usual or unusual for the bride and bridesmaids hair to match? What are you and your BM's planning to to?

: )

    I don't know what the "correct" answer is either, or even if there is one at all!

    I'm having my hair up, my moh is having hers all down, one bm is having hers half up with soft curls, and the other in a side bun type style. I'm not a fan of the all matching style and would much prefer my girls to have something that they like and suits them and their personality, i wouldn't mind if one had theirs similar to mine, maybe as long as it wasn't identical as i would feel that to be a bit odd

    I dont think it really matters if you match or not, but by chance I am having mine down and BM is having an up do (she picked herself) - and now I am actually quite glad as I think it will look nice to have the contrast - we normally have quite similar hairstyles

    I'm having mine up and have told my 3 bridesmaids they can have theirs however they want (they don't have to match each other either). The only style I would say no to is if they chose exactly the same as mine

    We are all having our hair up but my 2BM's and MOH are having theirs in a different style to mine.

    On reflection I think her hair inspiration is similar ('curly up do') but certainly not the same as my hair. What do you think? (I'm the brunette, her inspiration is the blonde!)... Sorry for the picture sizing!!

    I think those 2 styles are very different, especially if she goes with the braid. So don't worry! I will probably go with a "messy" updo, as I having hair on my neck makes me feel hot and I might get uncomfortable at the evening do, but am not fussed at all what my BMs do - MOH will probably have an up-do too, and I think my niece will want long curls, but future SIL shaves her head, so I can't be too fussy about whether they all match, lol.

    I am having a plat and bun style like the above post. My bms can have it however they like provided its not too similar to mine and my identical twin has hers completely different to mine.

    It's different enough so that you needn't worry about feeling upstaged. They are both gorgeous up do's Smiley smile
