Considering getting highlights and/or extensions for my wedding. Is it worth it? Or is it a bad idea to update your hair for the wedding?

I know people who were normally always blonde and went red and kept their hair that way for the wedding then ultimately switched back to blonde. I would say stick with whatever hair color makes you feel your best and feel like you. You want to be able to recognize yourself when you look back at pictures. Also, highlights and extensions aren't dramatic like going red. Would probably look fab!! Hair would be so full w extensions and could have more options for bridal hairstyles

Thank you! And yes I normally have pretty thin hair so hoping it adds more volume!

I’m using clip in extensions which I understand are fairly common

True! I guess I would like it to be thicker but yeah may rethink the color. Thanks!

Try it out 3 months before as a test

You're right, I should definitely try it asap so I know for sure if it works

I think it depends on if you've have them before or if it will be brand new? I also have this dilemma! Wasn't sure if I was going to highlight my hair again after letting it grow out again.

Colored my hair once years ago, but not highlights so this will be the first. Same for extensions. I know the feeling, I'm SO indecisive haha

I got tape in extensions and I’m SO glad I did. I didn’t keep them too long after (a few months) because the upkeep drove me nuts, but I love how the pictures turned out.

Really? Wow maybe I really should consider extensions, and perhaps think through more for the highlights

My friends hairdressers have recommended getting extensions even though they have beautiful thick and full hair because it holds hairspray better and it keeps the style longer so it looks great in pictures from the start of the day till after party. So far three of my friends have done this and they looked fantastic.

That's fantastic! Thanks so much!! This is definitely good to hear!!

Need some advice! Should we update our wedding start time to 4pm so we can have our after party 10pm-1am instead of 5pm wedding start and 11pm-1am after party? We sent wedding invites with a 5pm start time because we have 6hrs at the venue and the bar around the corner said the after party had to be 11pm-1am. Now bar said thee after party can start at 10pm. We can realistically contact all who RSVPd yes to let them know AND a 4pm start time means we still have daylight (it’s a winter wedding).

Comment where you are cutting back to save money. Here are ours:
- Not doing a presidential suite, instead we’re getting a normal suite and using a conference room for hair/makeup/meals
- Centerpieces. We are doing a few bigger centerpieces, then small bud vases at the rest of the tables.
- Transportation for guests. Our wedding is in a major city and ubers are easily accessible.
- Flowers. No flowers for men, only the groom is getting a boutonnière. No flowers for parents/grandparents.
