Hair Trial

Last Friday I had a day off and decided to make an appointment to do my wedding hair trial run. I had a long week of field work the week before and it was so nice to just sit back and let the fabulous people at my favorite little salon in Annapolis do my hair.

I brought some of my favorite styles and my DIY flower and let them do their magic.

Now, it's killing me to not post every photo and every idea and every little thing I'm planning, but I guess I've got to keep some things a surprise.

So having said that, here's a little "sneak peak" of what we came up with.

The flower is perfect and I'm pretty sure Carrie would be proud.

Hair-brained

I live in ponytails. That's it. And, after years of hearing "Get that hair out of your pretty face." (thanks, Grandma), having hair in my face drives me crazy. And, let's be honest, I like to sleep in. There is no such thing as a hair dryer in my morning routine.

Now, that doesn't mean that I don't like when my hair is all done up, but after years of not styling it, I really don't know what to do or how to do it. But I am totally looking forward to having someone who actually knows what they're doing, make me look all fancy like :).

I've already made the hair piece.

So here's what I'm thinking:

and I like the looseness of this one

and I like the height of this one:

I love this one too - wish I had a photo from the front, but It looks so romantic.

But, this is probably my favorite. I especially like that it was for a wedding, so it's got a little more modern feel. Although, I think I might be interested in something less curly in back. Maybe we can combine this one with the above.

I'm picturing the flower either centered in back or off to one side and a veil tucked under the bun-thing in back. I'll probably do I a trial run in March, so we'll see what happens :).
