Hair-spiration

I have a hair trial appointment this Friday with a "friendor" (friend/vendor) who's a hair stylist. To prepare, I've looked up some inspiration photos to show him. What I really want is a side-swept loose low bun/chignon. My hair is really wavy and curly (see the pictures of me in my last post) and I'd like the waves/curls to be prominent.

I bought this hair flower from Silver Pencil's Etsy shop. (Steve--don't click the link if you want to be surprised!) I don't think it'll be here in time for my trial but I want it to be positioned like the above photos. I'm excited to see how the trial goes and I'll take pictures!

p.s. I used this tutorial to create these collages through Picasa. It was super easy and saved me a lot of time/trouble! If you want to make an inspiration board, you should check it out.

  3. Love your hair-spiration! You have selected similar looks to what I am envisioning for my hair, but I'm not sure I have enough hair to pull it off! My stylist is a friendor as well. Can't wait to see your results!

  4. Yeeees. I think this will look great, especially Taylor Swift's, since you can see the texture of her hair. If I lose my resolve to wear my hair down, I'm going to do something like this. I had a "trial" of my own last week, and figured I can make it work if I have to!

  5. These examples are beatiful, and I love hair flowers! I almost went with one myself instead of my headband.

  6. Gorgeous!! Great minds think alike. I got my hair flower from etsy too but a diff vendor. I have that #1 pic on the bottom (from Proj wedding) as inspiration too. I LOOOVE the chignons with curls - it looks so perfect & flowy but my hair will never hold it. Can't wait to see yours. ;)

  8. Thanks for the tips on the inspiration board...I've been trying to figure out how to make some.

    I love all these photos and your ideas. I think it will be beautiful for sure! I originally wanted to change my hair from the down version I had during photos and ceremony to a side swept low bun during the reception but it didn't end up becoming a priority for me. Wish I would have done it because I love this look!

  9. I just stumbled across your site. Lovely hair-do ideas! I love that you are having your wedding on a Monday! I wanted to choose 8-9-10 for our wedding but figured a Monday might be to hard. We almost went 10-10-10 but that was a Sunday, again, very hard in my opinion, so we chose 9-4-10, my grandparents anniversary. Love the hair ideas though! I want curls in mine and my hair is part naturally curly, yeah don't ask :)
