My makeup/hair people called me yesterday and cancelled my appointment for our Mendhi night. UGH! I was definitely upset/mad and had a little breakdown, but I’m back to normal now. It was after business hours by the time I found out, so I’m gonna have to try my best to find another hair/makeup person in a little over a week. Any suggestions for Orange County hair/makeup people would be greatly appreciated!

After receiving that bit of news, I realized that I’d never shown the hive what my potential hair styles are going to be. I’ve been collecting lots of pictures of different hairstyles over the past few months. I want an up-do for my first outfit (ivory colored bridal sari) and a half-up look for my second outfit (red and copper colored lengha). The problem there is that I don’t have a lot of time to change my hair and makeup, so I’m hoping that I can find a style that easily transitions from all up to half down without looking messy.

I gathered these images so long ago that I’m not sure where I got them. If you know the sources, please let me know and I will credit them!

Some half-up inspirations:

1. I love how simple this is - although I’m not sure if it looks too messy

2. I just really like the flower in her hair and the simple curls
Some up-do inspirations:

1. I like this simple front sweep - although I think I’d want something more off my face

#2. Another nice and simple up do - but I don’t think I could pull off that front bump
Another view
#3. I love the back of this hairstyle SO much!

4. This is my favorite overall hairstyle. I saw it on The Brides Cafe and just fell in love! The wedding of Anna & Seth (photography by Ann Hamilton) was truly gorgeous. The bride’s hair is perfection! I mean, she is insanely gorgeous so I’m sure that’s a lot of it, but I just love the flowers and the unfussy up-do.

I’m still a little clueless on what I want for the half-up style. For the up-do, I know I want a deep side part, the back of my hair to look like #3, and the front to have the crown volume and flower position of #4.

Is anyone else having more than one hair style? Anyone else have to deal with last minute vendor cancellations?
