My Beauty Shop Bathroom

August 23rd, 2010 @ 2:19 pm by Mrs. Sand Dollar

So, it makes sense that if we don’t have the budget for fancy cakes or rentals, then I can’t afford to go to a beauty salon on our big day. It’s NBD, as I have a good plan in place. You see, I’ve got Bestie C. Bestie C is going to school to be an athletic trainer, with big plans to go on to med school to become the first female orthopedic surgeon for the Dallas Cowboys. And yet, she’s got a card up her sleeve, with all that intelligence. The girl’s a hottie, times four. And she’s a whiz with hair. So guess who’s doing my hair and makeup? This lovely gal!

Hey Bestie C!

She did my hair for our big engagement shoot, and I got what was probably the best blow out of my life:

Oooooh, pretty hair! I was in love with my hair that day. I couldn’t stop flipping it around. When Bestie C and I started brainstorming wedding day style options, we started out with the typical bouncy curls, and maybe a side pony. Then, I looked back at my pictures and thought about how pretty I felt. And how it was the best looking “me”. So, I decided that I’m going straight!

It’s soft, easy, and oh-so-me. I’m going for a simple half-up hairdo, and I’ll emphasize the back with one of my lovely hair combs.

Then for the reception, I’ll spice things up a little with a pony and some smoky eyes.

Yup, I’m the bride rockin’ gym-hair at her reception. And I cannot wait!! It’s going to look great with my short dress and boots. And I’ll be comfortable, and feel prettier than I ever have. What’s not to love?

What kind of hairstyles did you choose? Are you doing a change-up mid-way through your wedding day too?

I love your hair choices!! One of my bridesmaids is a total hair pro (seriously, she’s a rep for a high end hair products line and her mom owned a salon her entire life.) She did my hair, it was amazing and it didn’t cost me a dime!

I’m doing a hair change, as well. I’m planning to have my naturally super curly hair pinned half up for the ceremony. But since my curls can sometimes be unpredictable, I’m going to have it all pinned up for the reception, so I can dance the night away without worrying that my hair will transform into a giant frizzball! My trial is next Saturday, and I can’t wait!!

You are seriously lucky to have someone so talented on your side! And isn’t it funny how us straight-stranded gals always want the curls, and the curly-locked ladies want them straight? Mine is stick-straight, and my sister’s is all curls - both of us want the opposite! I loved your hair in the engagement photos, and I think your wedding day hair will be even more lovely.

I totally agree with Miss Husky! I have super straight hair and cannot wait to see it all curled up for the big day :) I think you will look great SD!

That’s awesome that you have an expert in your corner. I wish I didn’t have to pay someone to do my hair… alas.

My friends are doing my hair! I feel I’ve got a glam squad that can do it. We are going with slightly wavy, flowy hair with a head piece!
