Hairstyles for unconventional wedding?

**Almandine** · September 27th, 2010, 02:33 PM

I'm getting married in February and I really don't know what to make of my hair. I've never been good with making up pretty hairstyles and I don't know any offhand at all.

I want my hair to be mostly loose, but with something pretty going on at the top and/or sides. You know, loose and flowing but with something to make it special. I don't have the dress yet so I don't have any inspiration based on that, but it's going to be a hand-dyed, multi-tone lace up dress. I'm set to search for one at the Renaissance Festival next week, since there are an abundance of really lovely handmade dresses there in the style I want.

So, anyone have any groovy ideas for a pleasant, flowy hairstyle? As soon as I thought "hair," I thought "LHC."

I love this one. It's so beautiful and reminds me of renaissance type hair.

I had my hair down with braidwaves, but added a flowery wreath to make it look special :-)
It suited the "theme" of nature.

I think a lace headband or fairytale braid would be beautiful.

Check out Little Ocra's mom's handiwork!! A beautiful heart braid. (I just posted it should be for a wedding...... )

I wore mine in a half up with autumn flowers wired to a barrette. There's a picture in my hair album. There are some really nice ideas in the most recent wedding hair thread, I think it was started a few months ago. You might find something you like there.

My mom used to do this to my hair, except just on the crown, and stopping towards the back of the head, leaving all the rest curled and down. You could put little flowers at each junction.

I'm a fan of Fairy tail braids too. I think they're so pretty and a little different compared to a normal braid. I've seen them done as a sort of crown thing, with most of the hair still down.
