My brother's wedding is June 21st. It's a second marriage for both of them so they are only having my brother's son as an attendant. This means that all the other relatives get to sit and enjoy the ceremony--which is a completely new experience for me with family weddings. That also means I get to wear whatever I want--no required bridesmaid dress. (YAY!!) I have just lost four dress sizes and now fit back into an amazing dress that I've worn only once before in 2001. It's a pale pink crocheted lace sleeveless dress with a matching short sleeve jacket. Here's a picture:

This is where I'm hoping some of you can help me. I'm really not sure what to do with my hair. I'm really thrilled at how good this dress looks on me and I want to figure out a great hair style to go with it. I want to look awesome in all those wedding photos that will be in the homes and photo albums of all my family members.
Now to the details. My hair is at "can I call this hip" length, straight and I have a ton of it. I think I look better in half-ups (including half-up buns) than with all my hair up. I think the buns look better that way too because I can barely manage more than one revolution in cinnabun if I use all my hair. I also like braids--and I can do pretty much all styles of braid.
So far, the only idea I've had is a rose bun with a rope braid accent--essentially looking like a long stem rose. I'm really open to suggestions though. I want something elaborate enough to be eye-catching but something I won't have to worry will be falling out all over the place.
So, does anyone have a suggestion?
