the only thing about getting a whole new 'do' for a wedding or any special event, is that you don't really look like yourself in pictures. why not wear it pulled back with a pretty clip and just curl it?

Well since my dress is kinda formal, I was thinking of playing down my hair and keeping it soft and simple, while sis' dress is less formal (her's short mine long, same color) so maybe a fancier updo would be necessary. Hopefully we can find some examples online of what I have in mind.

Escapee, here's some GORGEOUS uber-fancy hairstyles (I just googled 'wedding hairstyles'): http://www.weddingbycolor.com/milestones/category/Hair+Style The pic I posted is my fave from that site, it's so beautiful AND it looks doable with a curling iron and some pretty hairpins. Of course they have fancier updoes etc at the site.

Lol Emmy I would too if I could afford the airfare lol. Escapee if you have a formal dress then you need a formal hairstyle. Great idea Grooch. Mame let me peep that site.

Well Escapee is a pretty little thing, so whatever she chooses, she's gonna looks splendid! Especially if Mocha is wielding the curling iron!

It'd really be that expensive, Escapee? The last wedding I was in (of course that's been about 5 years ago), the girl did pinwheels in my hair and put some jeweled flower snaps in it, and it cost me like $15. Of course, I am in Missouri....

I got married in the fall of 2006 in NE. My hair was 50 for the day and I think 50 for the practice run. I also paid for the 2 flower girls, I think they must have been 25 each.

Escapee is there a beauty college near by? They wouldn't charge too much. That's what we did when my best friend got married. And the good thing with just getting your hair done there [vs cut perm color whatever] is IF they mess it up they can fix it on the spot. There were 7 of us and only my hair was messed up. But then NOBODY ever listens to me when I tell them if they curl it and then brush the curl out the longer the curl sets the poofier my hair gets. But in the end all looked good. And was cheap.

I also like this look... I can picture it with flowers or flower-shaped hair clips, strategically placed.

I like that too. I think she should go for that, but her hair is very very thick and very heavy, so I hope it will hold.

Just tell them to use their industrial strength hairspray liberally, not the namby-pamby stuff, and she should be fine. Actually if they do use that stuff, then her hair should hold up for the honeymoon! As long as the groom won't mind cuddling up to 'helmet-hair'. I have heavy hair too, so I know of which I speak. Poor dh hates helmet-hair. The strong stuff makes your hair stiff as a helmet, but it holds well.
