Wednesday, is by far my favorite day of the week, not only because it's "Wedding Wednesday" here on Nina on the Moon, but it's also my day off! :) Today is all about my wedding day hair style!
When I was first thinking of what to do with my hair a few months in advance, I had thought of doing something vintage and edgy, like the beehive, not so much a la Amy Winehouse, but more like, the classic 50's way. I had even thought of dying my hair a totally different color, to mark the end and beginning of a chapter in this journey; life. But, then I decided that was to crazy; I realized that I wanted to look back at pictures and see me! So, months went by, I didn't dye my hair and I didn't have a hair do...
Anyways, before I knew it, it was my wedding day! My amazing makeup/hair stylist, Lucky, came over to the hotel and had asked me what I wanted to do with my hair....tick,tock, tick, tock, time is ticking! Hmm I visualized the ways I usually wear my hair: 1)high ponytail, 2)high bun, 3)down, and 4)braid. I knew I wanted to do something that was totally my style, nothing fancy or over the top; something elegant and simple ;) It was settled, my classic high bun!
I also had this beautiful floral headband, that I had bought a few days in advance, to add the vintage touch to my hair style! You definitely don't need to spend a lot of money on your hair accessories, or anything else for that matter. You can find beautiful things on a budget! This headband was $10 at Claire's, what a steal, right?!

I had a whole collage of what I wanted my hair to look... but when I went in to do my trial, my stylist found a look that was perfect for me... and it was just perfect for me. Just like you. I love it how it enhances your natural beautiful face. Natural, clean, beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteMe encantó la diadema y lo mejor fue el precio.
