the perfect hair

So its been a long time since I've posted. I took a hiatus from wedding planning - I think I just got overwhelmed with everything (especially after getting a $5K cake quote!). :)

I still do my daily perusal of wedding blogs and today when I was looking at my new favorite wedding blog The Brides Cafe, I found my hair inspiration for the wedding! The wedding of Anna & Seth taken by Ann Hamilton was truly gorgeous. The bride's hair is perfection! I mean, she is insanely gorgeous so I'm sure thats a lot of it, but I just love the flowers and the unfussy up-do.

Regina B

Speaking of hair accessories, Regina B makes the most amazing hair jewelry. Of course its insanely expensive as well but I absolutely love them!

These are some of my favorites....

Hair Bling or Flowers?

Another idea I had was to wear something in my hair sort of under my veil. My veil/dupatta is sheer so you'll be able to see it. I'm going back and forth between wanting to wear a piece of "hair jewelry" or just wear simple flowers. Right now I'm leaning towards flowers because I'm going to be blinged out from head to toe in terms of outfit and jewelry. Also, traditionally Sri Lankan brides wear fresh flowers in their hair.

Here are some of my inspiration photos:

I like the vine look. I even kinda of like the hair style. The top is a little too high but the rest I sort of love. From InStyle Weddings:


I have no idea where this picture came from but I like the simplicity of the french twist. I think a few too many hair jewelry pieces though - I'd have stuck with just the flower near the nape of her neck


So here's the flower look. I love Mariska Hargitay's hair here on her wedding day. She wore a bunch of fresh roses in blush pink and white. I think I'd wear less flowers and maybe stick to ivory though

More Mariska Hargitay this time laughing with her Dad (how cute)

Hair Comes the Bride picture - I really like the up do and think I'd go for one simple bloom versus the two shown here.

Jennifer Behr hair accessories are gorgeous (and also really expensive). I like this simple style though.

Wedding Hair

I've been collecting lots of pictures of different hairstyles over the past few months. Despite my picture collecting obsession of all things wedding related, I can't quite decide what I want though and no one picture really seems to capture what I want for my wedding day. These are the things I do know. I want an up-do for my first outfit (ivory colored bridal sari) and a half-up look for my second outfit (red and copper colored lengha). Problem there is that I don't have a lot of time to change my hair and makeup so I'm hoping that I can find a style that easily transitions from all up to half down without looking messy.

Some half-up do's:

I love how simple this is - although I'm not sure if it looks too messy

I just really like the flower in her hair and the simple curls
Some up-do's:

I like this simple front sweep - although I think i'd want something more off my face


I love the way these curls look
Another nice and simple up-do but this time with hair
Another view
The top is a little crazy, but its nice and simple also
