My wedding is a week from Saturday.
All the details are getting firmed up, people’s travel plans are in line and I am as ready hair and accessory wise as I will ever be which is excellent because-
OH MY GOD MY WEDDING IS A WEEK FROM SATURDAY!!!!
Of all the things I have pondered since my handsome intended popped the question last June, the most deliberation I have done has been over (if you can believe it) how I might decide to wear my hair that day.
Since my thoughts were that it would sort of depend on the style of dress I chose, I had a few ideas lined up that I thought would be lovely for the occasion; I’m a big fan of up-dos but because I wear my hair in some variation of either the sloppy Mom bun or the more polished bun with a booster in it a few times a week I feel like if it’s an up-do it needs to be fancy with the curls and the flowers.
Here are my top 5 wedding day ‘do ideas!!!!
I love this- oooooh my goodness I love it! The slightly undone messiness in the back, the more bouffant-y top, I feel like this would look so perfect with a hippie style bohemian dress or a sexy strapless number. It’s SO pretty- even with how angry the model looks. Maybe the photographer said “kiss the camera with your eyes” and she heard “kill”. Not sure. She’s fierce, though; I’m just not sure if it’s the right kind of fierce.
This is so lovely and demure; it’s the kind of wedding (or prom, maybe?) style that would look awesome with a vintage, lacy looking dress or even something in a long sleeved number or in a blush color. It’s timeless. Plus, the model doesn’t look like she wants to go on a 5 state killing spree.
This is gorgeous if your locks are long enough (although with that kind of volume I suspect she has a boost with some extensions or a hair piece or something- it’s just suspiciously perfect) and it has a definite princess look to it that would work on a range of people who want their fairy-tale wedding. Beautiful.
So far, out of all of them, this has been my favorite that I’ve found- I love the half up style (because, you know, I want both up and down) and I also love any excuse to stick sparkling nick knacks in one’s hair. It goes nicely with a more modest style of gown, as pictured, or with something like mine (which is a gauzy hippie style maxi dress).
When you’re talking about bridal hairstyles, it just doesn’t get any more classic and versatile than an impeccably turned out ballerina bun; it takes some beautiful skin and some rockin’ confidence to wear this kind of look but it is beautiful and is not something that years later will embarrass you when you show off the pictures. Plus, it would look so perfect with any style of wedding dress you choose for your big day.
Honorable mention;
The most pixie perfect wedding picture I have seen, maybe ever; if I was still sporting the pixie, I would want to steal every element of this chick’s bridal look, including her cool necklace and absolutely gorgeous bouquet. LOVE.
After my wedding I will definitely post pics of me all done up bridal style, which is a nice counterpart to posts where I tell you how to not look like a zombie when you haven’t slept in a month of Sundays.
Until next time!
Love,
The Chick and her Chickadee
