And then by the ceremony let's just say it fell a lot, but eh I didn't care:

Yer on Trial!
This weekend was one hell of a whirlwind. I think I have enough material to last me for a month of posting.
So in order to keep it simple and sane I'll start with Friday night and then move on from there.
Let's see, after hanging out with my big flowergirl and having some tasty Mexican food we hunkered down and started a hair trial. All I told her was I wanted some up, some down and to stick a veil in there. Otherwise she had free range to do whatever she wanted.
It began okay, she got a text message from her Dad who was incredibly bored waiting for tires to be put on his truck (this was a big deal as it was the first text he'd ever sent). Then we needed a hair tie and alas the only one I had was hidden way back in my closet so with her holding onto some of my hair we had to walk around the chair to turn around, head back to the bedroom, lean down, pick up a suitcase, put it on the bed, dig through it and come back to the chair.
And I had to announce every step of the way so that when I went to bend down she'd go with me otherwise she'd have a nice lock of my hair I don't think she wanted.
She got to a pretty scary start after the hair tie.
But then my flowergirl worked her magic and made something that I haven't really seem much anywhere else and I like a lot. It looks like me but is still kinda fancy.
A lot more fun information to come during the week including: "Making mints and why my hands are now orange," "Only 3 people showed up to my shower," and "We finally attempt the groom's cake."
It may come out slowly as I also start the new job tomorrow, but I promise all the pictures are just too good to not share.

A Bad Hair Day
I have the wonderful option of having my good college friend --and flower girl (whole nother story)-- being very good at doing fancy hair stuff and willing to attack mine (possibly with a chainsaw). She actually did the hair for my MOH's wedding after a slight emergency as well as doing mine and my guys for a dance we all went to.It was fun as she had free range and we both got blue gel in our hair and he got blue spikes. I'd share a picture but sadly the only one taken is in B&W. But I wouldn't want anyone else doing my hair if only because I know we can get together and come up with something classic but fun.
Trying to come up with a base hairstyle though is about near impossible. We've been looking for something half up, half down, and half & half. It seems like most bridal sites will either have a total updo or all hair down (or be like TheKnot and be about impossible to search unless you have a lot of time on your hands).
One that I have found at Brides.com has a wonderful listing where you can search for pictures based upon the type you want (half up), what your hair is (wavy), and length of hair (medium). There's also some stuff about style but I don't know if they have an option for "Don't look at me, look at everyone else."
If you want something a bit more interactive there are sites that have options for you to create a model or upload a picture of yourself and you can try on different hairstyles. Here's one from hairstyles.com (though it's just a demo option you might still find some good styles). After playing with it I think I should go for more of a mohawk look actually.
I wish some wedding website/magazine would decide to make an article about how best to pick hair styles for your veil/hair pins/flower and then how to insert said adornment. But sadly til then we'll just have to make due with a lot of bobby pins and some extra gorilla glue.
