    So my wedding is in 10 days and I am wearing a birdcage with a large flower fascinator... But I don't know how to wear my hair?! It is really thick and maybe to the bottom of my shoulder blades.... I usually wear it in a bun and want something a bit more "special" than an updo. I was thinking a messy side bun but now I just don't know if I should wear it down since I never do or what.....

    Help!!! Pix of hair styles would be appreciated!

    I wld post pix but my bb doesn't let me.

    Honestly, if you normally wear your hair up then I would wear it up. You'll feel much more comfortable and "you". I usually wear mine up and I toyed with the idea of wearing it down, but I'm SO glad I didn't.

    Some messy, side buns I found.

    Including this one cuz it's beautiful and it would look awesome with a birdcage, although a bad picture.

    TheKnot (http://weddings.theknot.com/gallery/gallery_results.aspx?gallery=7) has millions of pictures of real hair dos on real people. I think you should check that out. It is a start.

    Well, I will tell you this...I normally wear my hair down but I went with an updo for the wedding. I wanted it to be different. But I think that the side bun would look great with your fascinator and birdcage.

    I was thinking (to add interest to the bun) do you think that you could twist it or something from the side-front  down the side. Kind of like this, but not exactly

    what about a nicer bun? more of the chignon style with a little more volume up top? if you're wearing a birdcage veil and a flower--a slightly simpler and not crazy ornate hairstyle will complement it nicely I think!
