Very pretty, I love the waves!! Your hair looks so full and healthy.

Pretty!

It's perfect! Quite elegant and simple from the front and a little more "fancy" in the back. Gorgeous!

love it! I was wondering what stage you were at and hoping I had not missed the big event!

Love the look from the back and side. From the front it is pretty but perhaps a bit casual? Maybe the waves need to look more defined from the front. The top looks great. Are you wearing any kind of veil?

Love it! You look beautiful Jojo!

I also like the back and sides, but the front seems a little...severe, maybe? Work appropriate? You need a little softness around your face.

I'm horrible at doing photo imaging, but maybe some bangs?

I love it. I would probably want a little more bling in back but that's me, I'm a sucker for sparkles. You look very classy!! Love the earrings too.

I like your hair. Do you ever wear a little product in your hair to make it smoother? It will make it look more polished and to match your dress, earrings, (and necklace?) I think you will look very elegant.

I'm also a believer in being comfortable and looking like yourself. I think it's jarring to see wedding pictures and then look at the actual person. Lately I have been asking myself, "Woah, what happened?"

I like it. Very pretty. My daughter wore her hair something like you but with a bird nest veil.

Somethinh like this

I went through a bangs stage about four years ago and although I liked them, I'm not going back. Too much maintenance.

I think part of the problem with the picture above is that the environment is pretty sterile. The picture below is a similar pulled back hairstyle but in my opinion, it doesn't look severe. It was taken in July. It's good lighting and sun kissed skin tones. I'm hopeful I can mimic that a bit with make up and non-fluorescent lighting, maybe I would consider a slight side bangs, but the emphasis would be very slight

I love the way the back looks. I think the front needs a bit more tweaking. In the last picture, your hair is going slightly to the side, rather than pulled back.

I like it. I think smoother would be more severe. The second picture looks a bit softer. Maybe some cross between the two. I'm with you - no bangs!!

I like it and especially from the side and back. If there's a way to loosen up the front without it bothering you the whole day (ya know what I mean?) that would be lovely. As I've gotten older (54) I cannot stand my hair getting in my face or bothering my eyes. So I can see the way it is in the first picture would be a more comfortable, less fussy way to wear it.

I like it. With the lovely October evening light, and a soupçon of makeup color, I think it will be absolutely perfect.

It looks very pretty jojoco. Win-win, both hair and earrings!

You are beautiful. And that is one of the nice things about your hair is that it is not a screaming hair done look but a soft, pretty, elegant you. My dd who was married in July 2017 wore a similar style, just longer. I love it.

Please, please don't cut in bangs.. or load your hair up with product. I like it just as it is.. and I especially like the puffiness. Perfect-- elegant but still you.

It looks very nice. If I were going to change something I would do an off center part but not tight and flat. Think loose and effortlessly pulled back around. I'll try and find a picture later when I have a bit more time.

So pretty, both you and your hair. Those are great waves in back. A bit of makeup to pull full frontal attention to your eyes, and your groom will be blown right out of his formal shoes ;0) You're going to be a gorgeous bride. Your most important accessory is going to be your smile anyway. If it's genuine, you'll shine.

Yes, you are naturally pretty so your hair CAN be simple in the front...let your face and smile be the star. Are you wearing a veil? One of those that attaches in the back might be pretty with that hairstyle. I bet you are getting excited!!!

I like the half-up/half-down look. I almost considered that but my hair has no body and would be poker straight in no time.

What the stylists did for the updo was even though my hair was pulled back, I still had a part, so the front did not look as severe. But it is hard to tell not seeing the makeup with it.

Love the way you look in the second photo, Jojo. No bangs! I went through that once and it was murder letting them grow out.

I like it! Looks natural & lovely, just like you!!

It looks great!

No bangs, definitely. The 2nd pic has the kind of softness I was talking about. I was thinking the effect with an artfully and strategically "stray" strand or two (though naturally stray stands look great, too).

I love it. The waves in back look gorgeous and your hair looks so healthy. No bangs! Perhaps just a normal, slight wave swept on one side as it appears in the second photo, and a loose wave/curl on each side near your ear might be considered.

I actually gasped (I think I'm getting a little too involved emotionally here - but I don't have any daughters so will never be the MOB) at the back. It is beautiful. The front although appearing a little severe right now, will really frame your face nicely with the natural-looking make-up that you have decided on.

You're going to be so beautiful. I can't wait.

I think it's so pretty as pictured in the first photo. The earrings are great, and with that natural makeup look you mentioned earlier, I think it will be a very lovely look.

Don't change a thing, it's perfectly lovely.

What did you do the rest of the day, with your hair all glammed up? Ran errand in jeans and a tee and wedding hair?

Yes, the back is great, but I agree with those who think that the front is a bit severe, and needs some softness.

It's a gorgeous photo, but most of that is the lighting and makeup, and a filter. And her hair is pretty darn messy; on humans that can just look, messy.

One possible take away from the photo is the there is the suggestion of a side part that does "soften" the look. If you are so inclined, that idea is worth playing around with.

But TBH, once we put make up on you, mussed you up a bit, used a filter on the lens and had you do your best come hither stare, I think the look is pretty much the same. It's how you will look after a night of dancing and few glasses of bubbly. ; )

Ha, ha mtn! I'm really just concentrating on the front which does suggest a side part. I will send the picture to my hairstylist and see what she thinks. Other than that, this is kind of how I look when I get out of bed (minus the perfect airbrushed face, however.)

I don't think there's anything you need to change. Also, if the wedding is the holiday weekend, I'll be in Skaneatles -- is that close by? My schedule is flexible and I could pack a nice outfit...just sayin.

I like Shee's suggestion. And the picture you posted (a bit messy) I also like. Messy is more natural I guess. Not too messy! LOL I think you need the side part or a tendril or two to soften the front. Love your comb (clasp?)!!

SueB does clean up well, I can attest.

I agree with Shee that you should try a side part. All the focus is on the back but your photos will be from the front.

I wouldn't mess it up too much. Just try a little softening around the edges. No severe part, just maybe a slight movement of hair over to one side. I actually like the sophistication of a fairly smooth, slightly poofed look on top, softening to waves. You are going to be one gorgeous bride!

I will definitely attempt a slight side part. We'll see what happens.

Sue, I live in Skaneateles and will be home that weekend. Unfortunately the wedding is the following one. We would have loved to have you stop by and raise a glass with us. Send me a PM with your details, I would love to meet you.

Jojo, lucky you! Such a pretty town. DS goes to Syracuse so we've had a great excuse to visit a few times over the past few years. Not sure of our itinerary yet but I will pm you closer to the time...I'm sure you'll be busy!

You might experiment with a mussy side part. I tend to do that when I pull my hair up, and my face is a similar shape to yours. All straight up, while looks good, slightly shifted to one side looks better since I too have a long nose. Nothing wrong with a long nose, but also nothing wrong with slightly downplaying it either. In the picture you like, there is more of a sideways configuration. And a little bit of slight curly side whisps . . . I could go either way.

You will look beautiful if you wear your hair exactly like that, no changes. It's YOU. So many hairdos are totally contrived and, although they can look wonderful, I never feel they look like the real person. Follow your instinct, it's spot on.

That hairstyle is beautiful and suits you perfectly.

I like the idea of more of a side part and some softening around the face. Maybe try pinning up the sides separately?

I think your trial hair is perfect!

I think that gray haired hairstyle just looks sloppy.
