Wedding hair

I had a picture in my mind for how I wanted my hair-do to look like, but I hadn't really discussed it with the hairdresser. I am so lucky that she did an amazing job, without having done a proper consultation or trial beforehand.
The hairdresser, Studio Mar Acconciature, is in Pastrengo, near the hotel where we and all the guests were staying for the wedding.
What I had in mind was quite a relaxed side chingon up-do. But despite it was relaxed, still to look elegant.

My dress (that I designed myself) had an open V back so I wanted to show that off as much as possible, and therefore chose to have an up-do. I've been growing my hair for years thinking forward to my special day. I wanted the hair to have relaxed curls put up in a casual way on the side. I liked the idea of having an unsymmetrical hairdo.

I had made a hair-flower for me and my three lovely bridesmaids to wear. Their hairdos were similar to mine, but slightly more simple, in order to let me be in the center of attention (at least for one day, right?). I'm so very happy of how it all turned out. It stayed perfect the whole night and even looked amazingly even the next day after sleeping and everything. The products she used felt so natural and soft.

Hopefully these pics can inspire you for your hairdo on your day!

This is me at the salon getting ready for the big day. Luckily we were getting married in the afternoon and had all morning to get our hair and make up ready! I don't know how morning brides do it. 

I had just arrived to the ceremony. Marco and I walked down the aisle together and we had already taken all the photos. 

This is the back of my hair do - which I love!

And the side with the signature flower. 

Two of my brides maids and the flower girl. 

My maid of honor and the flowergirl. Here you can see the differences in our hair-dos. Both very  nice. 

Kissing my man! 

The beautiful venue of Castello Scaligero, Malcesine, Lake Garda, Italy. Here you can see my beautiful dress (if I may say so myself - I designed it myself).

 Hair. Up-do, down-do, romantic, straight, locks, flowers, tiara... where does one start?
I know I'm having a bare-back dress, so in order to show that off I have decided to have an up-do, or at least semi up-do. I am a sucker for curley hair and think it looks great as a wedding hair do. I also like the idea of having flowers in my hair, or little diamond pins.
Here are some of the styles that I have fallen for. All the up-dos are pretty simular, so I'm guessing it will be something like that on the day!

This is one of the ones I like the most. I like the fact that its asymetrical! It's casual but elegant. Will my hair be able to become this curley though? I'm guessing that the locks wouldn't stay this tight but who knows.

Ok, so I have to face facts... I don't have beautiful hair like this. Mine is much thinner, no curley locks. But it is a nice do, isn't it?

Now this girl has more simular hair to what I naturally have, so I think I could obtain this look. Since my hair is straight usually the first part of the hair (which is more difficult to curl) will remain straight and the part at the back could be more curley. It becomes more elegant like this, which I still have to decide if its something that I want or not!

Too simple?

Here we have my favorite girl again, with a simular hair style compared to the first photo.

Here's Jessica Alba with a bohemian up-do. Although it is quite laid back as is her make-up, the golden earrings make it look elegant anyway. I don't have my ears pierced so it wouldn't work for me.

I like the fact of having a flower (either one big one like in this photo, or more small ones). Also the piece of veil is quite nice!

I think this flower arraingement looks very nice! I wouldn't mind having something like this. I'm not sure if I like the big bun thing on the top of her head though. What do you think?

This is a very classical hair-do. But I have to admit that when it comes to the wedding, I'm quite an old-fashioned girl!

Here's a long hair do with flowers in it. A very romantic look.

Tiara? I quite like this small type of tiara that doesn't really look like a crown. I am a princess, but maybe a full on crown would be too much :-p
