maid of honour hair trial


Ok, so the time came for Nicole's hair trial last Saturday morning. We both thought a classic up-do would suit her best. Our lovely hair dresser managed to do four up-dos (yes, four!) in about an hour on Nics hair. The pictures below are of the third style - which we both thought looked best! Its a whispy up-do with a couple of swirls and a diagonal french twist. It's not as neat as it will be on the big day - but it gave us both a really good idea of how it will look. Love it!

the maid of honour


So I thought it was about time I introduce you to my lovely maid of honour, nicole. Nicole & I first met in 1998, back when we first started High School. Our friendship grew as time went on, and since leaving school we've become even closer. Nicole is just the loveliest person.
She'll always greet you with a smile, no matter how bad her day has been.
She exudes happiness and never fails to be great company!

wedding hair trial


This morning I went and had my trial done for my wedding hairstyle. I took some before and after shots so you can see the difference, and get an idea of what sort of hair I have. Its fairly long with long layers throughout. I also have a thick side fringe. My hair is naturally straight. I just washed and blow-dried it last night. I usually straighen it with my GHD but didn't do so this time.



My hair dresser used both hot rollers and a GHD to acheive my desired look. She used hot rollers on the top section and teased the hair a bit to give the top some volume. She also teased my fringe so it wouldn't sit so flat on my head. The GHD was used to curl the rest of my hair. She pulled a few sections from the front back into a curled design so I don't have hair all over my face on the day and also, so there is somewhere for the comb of the veil to sit. As this is a trial, the end result isnt as good as it will be on the day, but it gives me an idea of what it will look like, and I am really happy with how the trial went! Yay.

bridal hairstyle

Tomorrow I will be having my first (and hopefully last) wedding hair trial. The photo below is one of the many I will be showing my hairdresser so she can have a better idea of what I'm after. I just want a natural wavy/curly look. Perhaps with a few pieces pinned back so I haven't got hair all over my face, and also so there is somewhere for the veil comb to sit. I'll be back soon to show you before and after photos from the trial. Wish me luck!
