What am I looking for? My gown is a deep royal blue. It's all Hollywood glamorous, with ruching, a v-neck and deep v-back, and a pretty dramatic trumpet silhouette. Hips I have not, but you wouldn't know it when I have this number on.
I'd like to continue the red carpet look with my hair. Hollywood glamour is the look I want to channel, but a little more undone, a little bit looser. For all my mane's negative attributes (curly/frizzy/dry/what?) it certainly holds curl well. It's also currently about six inches below my shoulders (wowza), so I have lots of flexibility in the style I choose.
And what, exactly, am I choosing between? Well let me show you!
I know I want an updo, I know I want side-swept bangs, and I know I want a little volume at the crown. With that in mind, here's what I found.
Oh yes, you all remember my love affair with Miss Coconut. I feel the same way about her wedding day hair.
Well this is fabulous. I love her low, full bun.
A very similar look to the one above, and equally well carried off. If I choose this style, will I need some sort of sparkly brooch as an accent?
More undone on the left, more done on the right - I still can't beside which style I prefer!
And you all know this lovely lady, of course. She's got everything I'm looking for: side-swept bangs? Check. Volume at the crown? Check. Updo? Check.
Since I'm not having any sort of a trial before the big day, I'm also looking for a style that I know a stylist will be able to pull off, especially because I'll be going to a stylist that is not familiar with my hair and all of its many eccentricities. I think these seem basic enough, but what about you? Overly complicated or completely doable? And which is your favorite look here?

If you go for a little less-done, it won't matter as much if your hair's (hairs'?) eccentricities cause it to curl or fall out a bit.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kate, but I think Misha Barton's hair is a little too undone so I wouldn't go that far. I love the last photos and think they would be best to bring to a stylist because they show several angles and are very cute!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jackie. I think the last style is the best for what you're going for and it looks gorgeous on Carrie so I'm sure it'll look amazing on you too!
ReplyDeleteI love the last one...and I think it would look gorgeous with long earrings like you are planning to wear.
