Happy Thursday peeps! Today I bring you the hairstyles from our wedding.
My hair was the biggest issue of the entire wedding. I had four different hair trials, and finally, Byron Williams of Byron & Tracy Salon in Beverly Hills was able to whip my heavy, straight hair into an updo that would hold. Let me just clarify that I hate updos. I was always the girl who wore her hair down for high school dances. But the back of my dress was so pretty it just would have been a shame to hide it with my mane. So I found a photo of a modern updo on Eva Longoria that I felt I could deal with. It's important to show your hair stylist a picture of exactly what you want. The only thing I did different was part my hair on the side, and "bump up" the crown area for volume. My husband is 6' 3" and I'm 5' 4" so I need all the height I can get!
...Here is my hair brooch by Maria Elena & Lovella Bridal- it's bendable and adjustable!
Here's the final look before I walked down the aisle
I love this photo by Rustin Michael below. It's difficult to see how intricate the hair design is because of my dark hair, but the back lighting helps.
Here's a photo from the end of the evening after we had danced and sweated all night. It held up pretty good!
Poor Dylan had to take out about 2 lbs-worth of bobby pins out of my head that night. |
The lovely Alicia Diaz did most of my bridesmaid's hairstyles. All the girls decided to leave their hair down and in wavy curls, which I thought looked fantastic with their fascinators. I felt the fascinators were a perfect touch for our Hollywood wedding :) I wanted my girls to look "Hollywood classic" without pulling the same old red lips-black eyeliner-and-victory rolls, and I think we succeeded.
