Planning a vintage-themed wedding has been a lot of fun. I've really enjoyed picking out the attire, décor, cake, etc. However, I had been putting one thing on the back burner: my hair.
After a discouraging week of style after style, I just kinda put it off as something that I'd figure out "later." Well, later is here now!
I thought about wearing my hair up, down, half-up/half-down, curled, straight, sleek. I finally decided to try something that I never, ever thought I'd do in my life: finger waves.
Yes, that's right. I said I'm putting my hair in finger waves. Although, this may bring back scary flashbacks of the early-90s, this is not the look I'm going for. I'm thinking back to the 1940s with softer curls.
After scouring the internet, I decided that I want a style that looks kind of like these:
I even found a stylist with a salon that's half a mile from the church who can do it! I'm going to skip the trial because I'm getting into town so close to the wedding date.
Although a trial would be ideal, with only a few days before the wedding, I don't really see the point. If the style comes out great, then it was a waste of time. If it comes out horrible, then I'll be extra-stressed and have no other options. (If it doesn't work out the day of, then I'm going to pull it back into a simple, classic chignon.)

I love this style and I know it is going to look lovely on you.
Thanks! Lu's mom is nervous about me skipping the trial, but it seems simple enough to do. :-)
Love the style, but you scared me when i saw the salt n pepper throw back!!! lol!
I can see and hear Aunt Carletta now, lol. No worries. Like you said its pretty simple, not to mention your hair texture should make the job a little easier.
