When is the wedding?
What looks do you like?
How far are you into your transition?
And what is your hair length?

Maybe you should take a pic of your hair so you can show us, and we can advise?

We need a wedding forum! I just posted a similar thread about my course relaxed hair. We really need our own place to hang!
Congrats

I agree...
That's what I would do. Even if I were completely natural I would probably just put my hair in a sew-in for my wedding day. That way I could keep my hair protected, curl it, crimp it, flat-iron it or do whatever, and my REAL hair wouldn't suffer. I wouldn't have to worry about it. Plus, weddings are pretty stressful anyway. With a sew-in, you wouldn't have to worry about whether your hair looked "right" in the professional pictures, and your hair would always look good....even during the honeymoon.
It's a win-win situation for me. 
But if you would rather wear your REAL hair, then maybe a twist-out, braidout, or curly style would do well.
I wouldn't try to attempt to straighten it. JMHO... I've seen too many brides get upset when their hair "reverts" in the humidity, or blows out of place.

Hey!
I'm 7 months post & getting married in July. By that time i'll be 9 months post. I decided on a style that I want (an updo) & decided a weave would be the best way to achieve that. Experiment before the wedding to anticiapte any mishaps.
I got my weave done about a week ago & she left as little out as possible so that i can have a high ponytail for my updo and it has a side parting for a swoop bang. It will also provide versatility on the honeymoon.

life ain't easy!!
what kinds of style do you want? I know for me, I had to go to a ball and I had my hair blow dried and then curled in big bouncy curls and it looked like I had a fresh relaxer!! After a night of dancing it still was pretty nice.

I'm engaged, and transitioning but I've decided to go for the BC and wear my hair natural for my wedding which will be next year.
I'm actually going in tomorrow evening to Salon Revive (since so many women gave it high marks) to get it cut. I don't imagine having much hair by the time I get married, mabe a few inches, but I've seen some brides who wore their hair naturally and they looked beautiful.
Like Crystalicequeen123 said, there are so many options out there I know you'll find something that work for your special day.

Check out nautralchica's blog- http://www.naturalchica.com/. The newest entry is about Boda, a woman who's been natural for nine years and just got married. I love her veil, I think I might consider wearing one for my wedding day.
Anyway, I thought her entry might be helpful as you decide on what to do with your hair.
