Wedding: Bridal Hair Trial & Inspiration 2013

16 June 2013

A couple of weeks ago, my fabulous hair stylist Ivan, came to my house to do my Wedding Hair Trial. With only 6 weeks to go until the big day, we decided it was time to start trying different styles until I’m totally happy with the result. We settled on the idea of having my hair up for the church ceremony, and half up half down for the reception. I want something classic, romantic and a little bit glam!

For the ceremony updo, Ivan did this beautiful centre parting with a sweeping fringe on both sides, a bit of volume on the crown, cross over detail and a low bun with wrapped curls. I adored this updo and it’s pretty much what I had in mind; I would still like a little bit more volume on the bun because I want it to be seen from all angles, including from the front. We also played around with a side parting and a sweeping fringe to the right, and that looked quite cute as well. Bearing in mind that on the day, I’ll have a tiara on, so it will look a lot more glam :)

For the reception half up half down do, Ivan did a side parting with a sweeping fringe to the right, kept the volume on the crown and let the wrapped curls drop down. I really like this style, but I’m still not 100% happy with the curls. I think I want them to look a little bit less Kim Kardashian and more Kate Middleton, if you know what I mean… I love the smooth and voluminous curls look, which actually look more like defined waves. For the top half I still want to keep it nice and tidy, but maybe not so neat.

So as you can see, it’s still a work in progress, but I completely trust Ivan and I know he’ll do an amazing job on the day! We are really good friends and we work really well together. My biggest tip for all you brides out there is to choose a hair stylist that you can easily talk to, and tell them exactly what you want and don’t want; there’s no point in hiring someone who you don’t feel comfortable stating your opinion, even if they’ve done the Queen’s hair! After all, it’s your wedding, and the only person that needs to be happy with the end result is YOU!

I thought I’d share a few pictures that have inspired my Wedding Hair choices so you can have a better idea of what I’m envisioning on the day. Let me know what you guys think, I really need your help settling on a updo and a half up half down do! To see more Wedding inspiration things, make sure to follow me on Pinterest @lebeautygirl; you may catch a glimpse of my Wedding dress… I’m not saying which one it is, but it’s in my ‘Wedding Dresses’ board :) Enjoy the pics!

    ahhh how exciting!! I really like what your hair dresser has done with you hair :) and I know exactly what you mean about Kate Middleton’s hair for the half up/down hairstyle…like you want the lengths volumized and bouncy but only the ends with a curl?

    For the updo, I reaaaaally like the blonde girls (5th pic down)

    Nice photos. While the first one is a better style I actually think the long hair one suits you better, the half up half down makes your nose looks really large.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
Pretty much where we’ve spent the last 2 days! 🐾🐶 Benji is settling in brilliantly and I’m so proud of the kids for showing him a lot of love and affection... and of course, plenty of playfulness! 🥰 Now we need to work on his nipping - those puppy teeth are sharp and it seems little kiddies’ wiggly toes are irresistible! Any tips? 🤎

Yesterday we added a little furry friend to our family and he is just the most perfect little pup! 😍 We’re so in love with him already, the kids literally haven’t left his side. We’ve wanted a puppy since before we had kids, but decided to wait a bit.  Benji joining our family now couldn’t have come at a better time and he’s such a loving pup. Just look at that face! ☺️

He is a chocolate roan show cocker spaniel and he’s 8 weeks old today 🍫❤️ His first night went so well, I’ll have to tell you all about it at some point, but for now I’ll leave you with these pup pics to warm your hearts! 🥰
