Lambs Eat Ivy Salon

*I was very pleased with my hair trial. Lisa seems to be a rare artist with a creative vision. It was pricey for a hair trial, but I was assured she was a pro and certainly, she did not disappoint. At the trial, we played around with a few options, and tho I did not leave knowing exactly how my hair would look on the wedding day, I left her salon knowing that I trusted her skill and ability to execute my vision.

The day of the wedding, Lisa took her time pinning, curling, spritzing, pinning some more, so that it would last. My hair looked beautiful when I left that salon and it suited my personality to a tee. She understood what I wanted from magazine tear-outs, despite it being hard for me to verbalize exactly what I wanted myself (and I really wasn't sure what I wanted!). On wedding day, I still looked like myself, just a dialed up, dressier version of me.

Unfortunately, there was so much time spent outdoors in 80 degree Florida humidity that by the time I went down the aisle at the ceremony, the curls in the back were drooping and straightening (which is not typical for me, since usually my hair keeps a curl for a couple of days whenever I use an iron). I did not notice the bedraggled state of my hair in the back until I saw photos of our first dance at the reception and recoiled in horror. I'm not sure what happened - but certainly I should have had the common sense to bring a curling iron with me for touch ups before the reception. Definitely do this if you know you will have time (which I did).

At the end of the night I ended up taking all the pins out (who knew there were 50 pins up in there the whole entire time?! not me!), and it still looked pretty.
