With my hair trial looming ahead (next weekend!!), what better thing to do than spend my weekend searching for inspiration?? In true Peppermint fashion, I stayed up way past my bedtime compiling a ‘packet’ to give show some of my ideas (and also to help me figure out what I might want!) I’m basically between two different styles: an updo (most likely a low, loose bun) or a half-updo. I want a romantic look that is loose, possibly with some curls. I’ve been working on growing my hair out (it’s just past my shoulders and should grow about two inches by December–see my former Samson & Delilah post). While I’ve compiled a lot of photos (more than I’d like to admit…), I’m pretty open to whatever the hairstylist suggests.

Something to consider is that I’ve already picked my veil and a hair comb. A gorgeous cathedral length veil (from Claire Pettibone) with a simple ribbon edge (much like the one below that I saw featured on the knot). I’ll only be wearing the veil for the ceremony, so I’m looking for a style that can work with a veil as well as stand alone once the veil is off.

Here are some photos that have inspired me to try an updo/low bun:

Below are my favorite half-updo pictures:

I really like this style as well (found on the knot in their hair gallery). I’m not sure how it would stay in place over the evening (or if it could even work with a veil), but I love the loose, romantic feel…

What sort of style are you going for? Did you wear a veil–and if so, what style did you wear with it? Any suggestions going into the hair trial??
