I had my hair trial today! I wish I could say that everything went to plan, but it didn't. First off, we had a really rough time getting to the salon because the area it's in has a lot of events going on this weekend and traffic was godawful. (Luckily, the salon will be sending stylists right to the hotel on the wedding day itself!) Second, I was ( Read more... )

Quick recap of who we are! I'm Lauren, 22 (23 when I get married), from Michigan. My fiance's name is Corey. We've been dating for 5 years and are planning a vintage travel themed wedding for June 2012. I'm so excited to be giving a huge update, because everything is finally coming together.

I'm a little miffed at FMIL and FSIL because, even though they've known about the engagement for 13 months and the date has been set for 8 and I asked them back in April if they wanted to come to hair appointments or had questions - they have waited until we are ( Read more... )

I'm thinking about having a ponytail for my wedding day. Originally I was just going to go with a straight bob, but I'm thinking a ponytail would look cute with my dress. This is me and my dress for reference.

I did my hair trial today, and I loved it! It turned out beautifully, I'm so happy with it. And it was only $12 at a beauty school!

( pictures of inspiration, and the final product )

So I have been searching through posts and can't find a hair inspiration picture I saw several days ago (or maybe a bit more?). It was an updo involving french braids, and the picture was something scanned from a magazine and had some instructions written on the right. Any one know what the heck I'm talking about?

My wedding is in a week (eek!) and ( Read more... )
