Gettin’ Mah Hair Did

May 2nd, 2010 @ 11:15 am by Mrs. Dolphin

Armed with some sweet hair inspiration (collected over the course of our engagement… 2 years!) and my Handle & Sprout hair flowers, I headed to my hair trial at the beautiful Veranda Pampering Salon this past week.

Outside view of the Veranda Pampering Salon. Isn’t is cute? I absolutely LOVE this place. My Grandmother (Dolphin Dad’s Momma) has been going here for years and loves it, so naturally, I had to try it out! I even got to meet her stylist!

1.5 hours later, and many, many bobby pins later, this is what Sabrina came up with…

I absolutely love it, and think she did a wonderful job combining all my inspiration into 1 look. Naturally, the day of my hair will be flawless (no wisps or pieces of hair out of place). Minor alterations to the look that Sabrina and I have planned is to lower all the curls in the back a bit and cut more bangs at longer lengths to frame my face better. Did I mention that I love my Southern ’bump’ she added? If you don’t know what a Southern ’bump’ is then you need to check out Bumpits, which are basically southern hair ’bumps’ to the extreme.

Here I am trying to get a front view of my hair around 5PM. Mr. Dolphin just had to get in the picture and try and antagonize me by using a laser pointer in my camera lens. This is typical Mr. Dolphin behavior.

I’ve made appointments for all the Mommas and my bridesmaids at the Veranda to have their hair done the day of the wedding. We all are going there together and hanging out while everyone gets their hair done (they have a great waiting room, open to the inter coastal, and it has French doors into the salon, so we can watch each other get our hair done). I’m planning on making (or possibly ordering) trays of fruit, breakfast munchies, etc to have laid out for the girls to snack on, and maybe a game or two to play, to keep everyone busy.

Do you have any special plans with your ladies for the day of your wedding?

Love it, especially with the flowers! Cute salon. My sisters picked up food the day of (bagels, fruit and such) for us girls (AND the hair and makeup girls, the guys helping out, and the photag). I paid to have the hair and makeup girls come out to my younger sister’s house which was just a mile away from the church and do everyone’s hair & makeup.

I love your hair do, and the flower accesories match just perfect!

I am panicing a little over my hairdo — I am afraid my hair is too short for the look I want, although my mum and others told me it is perfect lenght to be worn in a up-do. I joked at FI the other day “couldn’t you have told me last summer when I cut my hair so short that you were gonne propose some months down the road?!!”:p

Heart your flowers. They are the perfect size for how your stylist did your hair. She did an awesome job. Can’t wait to see it on your special day ;) PS - I am all about the southern bump, hahaahaahaa

Oh how fun! You look beautiful Miss D. I love your hair and the salon makes me miss home (I am a California transplant from Maryland and all of my relatives are from ‘Down South’). And Mr. D’s “behavior” cracks me up–I think your guy and my guy would get along just fine…(giggle)…
