View Full Version : Calf-length hair: WEDDING PICTURES!!! :D

Some of you might remember I asked your advice a couple months back about what to do with my hair for my wedding. I got lots of great advice, and figured I'd share with you the final product. I ended up heat-styling it (for the first time ever!), and, as you suggested, I used lots of heat-protector serum, and after a wash, my hair is happily back to normal. The only problem with the curling iron is that it burned my finger as my friend was doing it, and I'll probably have a scar - no one ever told me THAT'S why you don't heat style your hair, it's dangerous for the whole body, not just the hair! I also was thinking of cutting it back to knee to get a thicker hemline, but you convinced me to keep the fairytale ends, and I'm really glad I did. They looked perfect.

To give some context of the wedding, we had a weekend-long wedding in a state park in Vermont, where everything was handmade and everything was blue (it's kind of an obsession of mine...you might be able to tell), we even had recycled blue bottles (that I dug from the glass bin at the recycling center - that was a lot of work!) as vases for the blue flowers. My best friend baked the wedding cake, it was a six-tiered extravaganza of alternating flourless chocolate cake and blue almond cake, and the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. We had a swing dance that night, which was awesome (dancing in a wedding dress is so fun!) but my hair was in a boring bun, so no pictures - it's not relevant. :P We camped out the night before and the night after, and it was so beautiful to wake up to the sound of birdsong at dawn, wander down to the lake, and think "I'm going to be married today..."

But who cares about all that? You want to see the pictures! Here they are:


This was my favorite picture of the whole wedding, hands down...also happens to be a pretty good representation of my hair :)

Here are some other angles:

I love this shot because it also gives a good closeup of the dress that was made for me, which I absolutely loved!

For the hairstyle, I went with something simple, two lace french braids pulled into a rosette at the back, to make it look like a crown. Here's a closeup.

thank you all for your support and advice, and thanks again for convincing me not to cut back to knee - I can feel my hair touch my ankles now, and it's so cool!

Thanks, everyone! you warm my heart <3 I've always wanted to be a fairy princess (why else would I have grown my hair so long?) but in my real life I'm fiercely practical, so I'm really happy I managed to combine those two and have a fairytale-but-inexpensive-and-unstressful wedding ;)
I'm so glad you like the pictures!!

I've decided that I want to marry again when my hair is WL or longer.
And not before it touches my waist.
So, keep your fingers crossed for me that it grows :)
I have a good man, I have a dress, I only need some more hair length :)

Lunnafindel, I am soooo happy to see how your hair turned out for the D-Day, after all the worries !!!! It's just absolutely dreamy ! :cloud9:
It was a good idea to keep your long fairytaled ends : it makes your hair look like and endless cascade of flowing waves, so feminine and so fairy-like ! :crush: And that braid around your head, with this nice little bun, it was the most perfect crown !

Thank you so much for sharing these precious moments with us ! :flower:
