    Had my trials today at Carlton hair and the Nordstrom MAC counter. I LOVE how my make-up turned out. I wanted a look that was natural and dewy, with dramaticeyelashes. It was my first time wearing false lashes and I think theylook amazing in photographs.

    As for my hair...I was less than excited. I wanted something soft, flowing and asymentrical (my inspiration pictures are 4 and 5 below). Maybe my hair just isn't long enough. I really don't want to wear clip-in hair extensions either. Sigh. Plus, the style didn't last for more than an hour! Bobby pins kept falling out. And, I just didn't really feel like 'me' - which is very important!

    So when I got home, I pulled all the pins out and took a couple of pics with my hair clip and veil. I think it looks better down with pretty curls. My FI liked it better because it was more casual look. Any one else wearing their hair down?

    Wow love the makeup! It definitely looks natural but with a really pretty glow. That is the look I'll be going for as well. I have long hair so I will be wearing it up :)

    I agree that in the 3rd pic you look amazing!!!  I think your hair down might be the best.  It just might be a bit to short for it to be pinned up unless you worked with extensions.

    You look great!!! so beautiful!

    @ poodle- actually it's a flower made of feathers! Correct on both accounts.

    Thanks for the lovely comments everyone

    I am a big fan of the curly look with the headpiece. I am doing something similar. Plus, you can ask your stylist how to pin it up if you decide to do it during the reception.  A few pins placed randomly looks good, you'd be surprised.

    oh it looks lovely!! I wish I could have worn my hair down , but i'm glad in the end i wore it up , it got warm in the afternoon , it would have been a frizzy mess.

    Gorgeous make up! I love it :)...I feel alittle inspired ;) ;)

    As for the hair, my good friend just got married and wore her hair down and curled, very loose with a lot of volume at the top, and it stayed beautifully!

    You are gorgeous girl! I might go against everyone... but I love the first and second pic. The side ponytail with the curls coming down... its pretty.

    Either way you go... youll rock the look. You are stunning!

    Your makeup looks great, and I prefer your hair down with the birdcage veil, but you could always, like the post above says, take it down for the reception. I'm having this dilemma right now too!
