Holiday Hair Trial

July 6th, 2009 @ 11:20 am by Mrs. Mascara

It was a crazy holiday weekend! Friday morning was spent at the salon, where I had my hair trial. Based on the feedback I received from all of you, I brought in all of my inspiration photos (side bun and side ponytail) and asked the stylist what she recommended. I mentioned that it might be fun to do a bun that could transition into a ponytail for the reception. She liked the idea and went to work. After the curling and pinning my hair into a bun, we decided the ponytail might be a better choice. The bun just wasn’t doing it for us. The ponytail, on the other hand, looked muuuuch better.



I love the way the ponytail style turned out, although we will be making a few changes for the wedding day look. The sides will be a little bit sleeker and there will be more definition to the different sections that are pinned back to prevent the side without the ponytail from looking to plain. Hopefully my hair will grow out a bit more as well so the ponytail will look a little longer!

I am happy to report that the ’do survived all day long, and I was outside for the majority of the day. I wish I would have taken a picture at the end of the night, but after some fun at the bar celebrating a friend’s birthday, hair trial pictures were the last thing on my mind (oops!).

Hair trial, done! At the two month mark, I’m getting way too excited when I check things off the list. How do you like the look?

Suuuper cute! I’m having my hair down for the ceremony, but hoping I can maintain some of the curl and transition it to a less sweat inducing side pony for the dancing! <3 the flower too!

Side ponytail was one of my top choices for my wedding hair! Love it…

With my dress, we decided to go with an alternate look :)

Oh the side pony really looks great on you! I will admit, I had encouraged you to go with the side bun but this does look very elegant.

its really beautiful, i would just make sure that the day of the wedding to make sure that your stylist hides all the bobby pins…being a stylist myself I know its possible…and you dont want that sticking out in your pics…good luck.

Everyone thanks so much for your sweet comments! I’m glad you like it :)
@Mrs. Quiche: Thanks love. You are GORGEOUS yourself!
@MexicanGirl: Thanks, yes I did make the hair flower!
@bridezilla21: I am totally guilty of putting in an extra black bobbypin that you can see in the pictures! We were in a bit of a rush :) I will make sure there are none sticking out on the wedding day! Thanks for the tip!
