My Headpiece - A DIY Tease

September 11th, 2009 @ 5:04 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

There are 2 things I knew when I started this wedding process. I wanted to wear a birdcage veil, and I wanted to wear some type of headpiece in my hair. I have seen SOOOO many amazing ones online, and even wrote about them here. This is another example of something I really wanted to do and was willing to pay for, but got roped…

Post Wedding Plunge!

September 6th, 2009 @ 3:55 pm by Mrs. Taffy

I did not intend on partaking in the popular post wedding chop.

I have pretty much always had long hair*, so I wasn’t even trying to grow it out for the wedding. I never considered taking a lot of length off! Not for one minute… until a very bad “trim” lead me to the chop. Let me explain.

I didn’t have time to get a trim after…

I keep lists for fun, am constantly daydreaming of my next international travel adventure (four continents down, three to go), debating sports (let’s Got Mets/Giants!) and dancing around my apartment to stay sane. I am excited to share our wedding planning journey as I hope to plan a streamlined, personal, and fun wedding with the greatest life partner I could ever imagine, Mr. Swan.
About Mrs. Swan

When we last left me, your worried heroine, I was NOT at all happy with my hair situation.

I had a rough draft, I was not happy with the real run-through for a variety of reasons, and there I was, practically a week before the wedding, stressing about what to do with my hair. At this point, Mr. Swan stepped in. During the process he had…

Hair Love

September 1st, 2009 @ 12:31 pm by Mrs. Star

I had my hair trial the other day and, though I wasn’t sure about it at first, I can definitely say now that I am in love!

I knew that I wanted big curls and my hair up, but low on my head. I also wanted some visual interest in the front to avoid just having my hair pulled straight back. That’s about all I knew!…

I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.

A Cute Flower for My Wedding Day

August 31st, 2009 @ 1:14 pm by Miss Poodle

Remember when I shared with all of you my first attempt at a hair flower? Well, clay was not the right material after I realized how dangerous my head was (I usually poke Mr. Poodle in the eyes with whatever I have in my hair).

So, fabric was a really tempting option. Miss Bear Cub and I wanted to try to make our own, so while…

The Hair: Part 2

August 30th, 2009 @ 6:05 pm by Mrs. Beagle

I went in for a second trial and Jeanie was as lovely as ever. On the actual day of, the curls will be set longer so that everything doesn’t just fall out as soon as I take my hair down (which was kind of the case after the trial, thanks to Texas weather). Please note, it is really hard to take pictures of the back of your…

Hair & Makeup: Part 1

I’ll warn you ahead of time, this post is filled with lots of pictures of moi. Last Friday, I had my hair/makeup trial. Even though I had plenty of time to prep for this, I went in uncertain of exactly what I wanted. I showed Jeanie my inspiration pictures and after a few minutes of deliberating (and taking in to account factors such as the Texas humidity), I…

Hair Trial… the Second Round

August 27th, 2009 @ 1:44 pm by Mrs. Beagle

Last Friday I went to my hair and makeup trial, which I hope to post pictures of soon. Though I loved the makeup, I didn’t love the hair so much. My stylist, Jeanie, did a wonderful job, but because my hair is thick and long-ish, the low updo she styled was a) large and stuck out more than the lovely ‘dos in my inspiration photos and b)…

Dressing Up My Hair

August 27th, 2009 @ 12:25 pm by Mrs. Dew Drop

It never really occurred to me to wear a veil for our wedding. Maybe this is obvious—as I’ve mentioned before, I’m wearing my wedding dress for the reception only. I’ll be wearing a sari for the ceremony. And although I could pull the pallu (loose end) of my sari over my head to keep covered during the ceremony, I’m not sure I feel comfortable doing that.…

A Tale of a Hair Trial - Hmmmm… (Part 2)

August 25th, 2009 @ 5:24 pm by Mrs. Swan

Remember how my first hair trial was more of a rough draft?

Well, I went back for a more formal hair trial that would allow me to see how the style would look on my actual wedding date. That meant that my hair needed to be washed, the roots re-twisted, and then styled. (By the way, I am sure that many of you can’t visualize what…

Gettin’ My Hair & Face Done

August 20th, 2009 @ 10:32 am by Mrs. Stiletto

A little while back I had posted about my hair inspirations in preparation for my hair trial. There’s so much great inspiration out there, but I was nervous that I’d pick out styles that my hair wouldn’t cooperate with, or that I wouldn’t end up liking.

I’d finally narrowed it down to this great style:

I was born and raised in a small East Texas town, but I'm no country girl! I'm obsessed with British accents, fantasy (including Harry Potter, of course), and classic rock. My fiance and I consider ourselves both music and beer snobs--but every once in awhile we love to hear a crappy band and drink a cheap brew or two. We're planning an eco-friendly, casual, English garden affair for the end of summer, and we can't wait for it to get here!
About Mrs. Mouse

So I finally had my hair and makeup trial yesterday. It was more about playing around with makeup colors and getting a feel for different hair options. Keep that in mind when looking at the results—the look will be much more polished on the big day!

For the makeup, I told Lauren that I just wanted a very natural look, with fresh glowy cheeks (courtesy of…

My Wedding Day Headpiece

August 12th, 2009 @ 11:54 am by Mrs. Lightning

I found this metal headband at at a store called Hip Hop here in Cape Town. I’m still thinking about using the flowers and feathers I bought to make my own fascinator, but if it doesn’t work out, this will be lovely all by itself. I’m not sure whether I’ll wear a veil yet, but if I do, I think this will work well with…

My Very Own Big Arse Hair Flower

August 11th, 2009 @ 2:48 pm by Mrs. Labrador

Okay, so mine isn’t as big as Mrs. Perfume’s, but I still love it! Especially since it’s semi-homemade!

I purchased my peony fascinator from Etsy Seller EnchantedlyYours for only $16.50 shipped, but I wasn’t really feeling the rhinestone center when it arrived.

So I decided to do something about it.
