GatorBride's biography
Hair inspiration:
I'm all about the "undone updo," but i don't know whether my very-thick-but-somewhat-fine hair will stay in something like this (any tips? Holla!). I won't be wearing a veil. I picked up a really cute ivory flower from Forever21 that I'll wear... it matches my dress perfectly and was only $4.80!!!
Post-wedding update:
Here is how my hair really turned out-
1/1/09 - Ok, so, I'm re-thinking the no veil thing... I may leave my hair mostly down in loose curls, and wear a chapel-length veil for the ceremony and photos, then just wear the flower in my hair for the reception... Thoughts?
I'd like to have a couple of pics like these, from K-Gallery and Caroline Johnson Photography:
Here begins my search for the perfect veil... Wish me luck!
Update 2/23/09: The seamstress doing my dress alterations is going to make me a cut-edge chapel length veil for $20!! Also, the PW girls overwhelmingly voted for an updo when I posted my first fitting pics; so, up it is!
Makeup inspiration:
I think I've settled on a nude-ish lip, and pale pinks, browns, and golds for the eyes. My eyes are shaped very similarly to pic #3, but deeper-set; so I'm somewhat limited with what I can do with shadow (I'll be doing it myself, so it's gotta be easy!). I'm going to try and experiment with false lashes, but I see a disaster in the making! I'll keep ya posted...
My most successful self-applied makeup trial to date. And the look I'll be recreating for the wedding:
Sorry, the second pic is kinda blurry.

i'm going for a very similar look in terms of hair. and i'm also doing what you're thinking of -- chapel length veil (just love the look & the photo ops) and then a flower for the reception. |

My advice for the veil is to go into the bridal shop/place where you will get your dress or where it is being altered and try on different veils with your dress. Believe it or not, the dress will influence the veil you will end up wearing. Hair - The side part in picture #1 with the Eva Longoria updo would look really nice and not overdone. Makeup - I agree with d1rtymart1n1 on that. It would definately look great on you! |

I love the make up trial with the dramatic eyes and the subtle lips! That looks great! |

I love the make-up that has the subtle lips! But you can always use the lip color that is bright with the eyes from the pale lips! |

I really like your makeup trial number two as well! It looks natural but still very glamorous! |

Again, trial 2. You have probably already decided. But I think trial 2 brings out your natural beauty. |

I LOVE trial 2, the pink lips are kinda over done IMO |

I think the 2nd trial looks best. |
pic #3 is gorgeous! all i can say about false lashes is PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!! target sells some really cheap ones you can use for practice. also experiment with strips & also individual falsies.
