My Wedding Day Hair

I had such a hard time finding photos of pixie cut hairdos so I hope these can help someone out there! We got our wedding photos back last week and I couldn't be happier with them! Here are a few pics focusing on my hairpiece and hairdo from our wedding day. :) The veil cost me about 5 dollars to make and was really easy. I bought the flower pin at Michaels and the netting for $2.00 at Joann's.

I have really thick hair, so I decided to curl it a little bit and make a slight "faux updo" based on this video: Short Formal Updo

These photos are by Wes and Alisa Courtney of Funky Trunk Studios. They blew my mind with their photos and are two of the nicest and fun people you'll ever meet! If you live in the Seattle area and need a wedding, portrait, or family photographer, look them up!! They're incredible! (http://www.funkytrunkstudios.com)

These are a few of my "getting ready" shots.






That's my poppa. :) I did a first look with him. :)



We had so much fun on our wedding day. It was relaxing, beautiful, and a total blast. I think it's pretty obvious that I adore my husband! :)

Inspiration

A friend of mine found this video for me and I'm stuck on it!!



And for a wedding in which my hair has to stay ALL day (mine usually falls pretty quickly) I want all the product I can get!! :P

I love the concept of "faux" pixie cut "up dos!" I really don't want my hair to be flat against my head or looking like a boy's on the day of my wedding!

I love this picture!










Her hair is a little bit longer than mine, but I like the swept up and curled back look.
The site that I got it from has some good images for types of hair accessories for brides.

I am also doing a birdcage veil with a flower of some kind, I'm currently looking at this one:
