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! :)

    I have a pixie cut, and this hair piece is exactly what I'm envisioning for my hair! In fact, I think I have that same flower! How did you make the veil part? All the tutorials I've found make for a much poofier veil. I like how yours lies flat. If you could offer some tips, that'd be great! You look amazing in your pictures and incredibly happy :)

      Hi Jenna! I found the flower at Michael's or JoAnn Fabrics I think. It's got like a pin and a clip on the back of it, is that the one? :)
      It was super easy to make! I'll be posting a tutorial soon...but basically I went to a fabric store and bought a rectangular bit of the netting, about a foot or less (I think it cost like $2.00). Then I took a piece of string and passed it through every 3rd hole of the netting and then pulled it tight, which made the bunching. If you want it to be flatter, do every 4th hole...tighter, do every other hole. Then I just put the gathered end through the pin part of the flower, and then put the clip in my hair. It was SO simple and so inexpensive. I hope that made sense...like I said, I'll be posting pictures soon! :)
