Can we talk wedding day hair?!

So.....what are y'all doing for your hair?? :look:

I'm getting married outside in August and we are heading straight to our honeymoon in the Caribbean so straightening it is completely not an option.

I was thinking of setting my hair in a flat twist out and then taking it out the day of to pin into an updo. I want a professional stylist to do it but I don't have anyone in mind :nono:

How are you ladies, especially those of you with natural hair, planning on tackling this issue?
 
I'm trying to figure this out as well. I am natural and would prefer a natural style. I'm thinking something pulled back and simple. I don't know if I'm going to try and find a stylist or do it myself. I'm getting married indoors in October so weather is not an issue.
 
I'm having a hard time with this as well. :perplexed My family is pressuring me to straighten my transitioning hair (24 months post) which I normally don't. FH probably prefers it looking long (straight in other words) so I'm looking into who could straighten and do something nice with it, without damaging it along the way.

We're celebrating our wedding twice, and so I get to worry about this two times. Joy. :ohwell:
 
Great thread. I am natural and also dealing with the same thing. I am getting married in September so any kind of straightened or down and out style won't hold for the entire day.

Anyone wearing a wig or weave?
 
This is sort of the look that I'm going for

It's obvious she (I think this is CurlyNikki) took a twist out and turned it into an updo.


But this is also really cute.

How do you even do this?! :spinning:

ETA: I thought about wearing a weave but I've never worn weave so I figured my wedding day wasn't the time to experiment with that :ohwell:
 
Here are some styles I like:

I am in LOVE with this. Do you know where this was done? Who was the hairstylist? Are there any instructions online?

Sorry...just seeing this :look: I have no idea....I randomly found it online while searching for updos!
 
Getting married 10.10.15 :wavey: Just bc'd so I'm natural now.. not sure what the plan is for my hair. :drunk: My original plan was the sideswept look definitely, but now, I don't know...
 
I'm thinking a messy/loose low bun. I don't care for the pulled tight, done look. Eta: I actually have the second picture in the above post pinned! That's exactly what I'm going for. Or something like Gabby's (the one with the veil)

yes I originally didn't want an updo but now I'm torn. They're just so elegant looking, severe or loose. I like Gabby's updo too and the textured one in last set of pics
 
Yea. Also, I think it depends on the style of your wedding and your wedding dress, formal vs semi-formal. We're having a beach wedding.

This is what I am going for as well. But I am also torn between an up do. I am trying hard to envision how this style will look with my veil.
