Its Wedding Wednesday aaaaannnd we’re back to talkin’ about me (y’all just know that’s my favorite thing about having my own blog, right? Hee.). I’m going to take a bit of a break from sharing The Boy and my Alaskan civil ceremony and start boring enthralling you with details for our May wedding. Specifically, today we’re going to discuss my hair… all seven of them.

Here’s the deal. I have pretty hair, not gorgeous hair, but pretty hair. It’s past my shoulders, curly, and takes color well. However, it is also thin, frizzy, and (currently) spectacularly boring. And you know what y’all? I want FABULOUS hair for my wedding.
And that’s where Tulle Nation comes in. Help me Tulle-y Wans. You’re my only hope! I needs me some help choosing my wedding day hair. And I want to get started now so that my hairstylist can work with my existing hair over the next few months to make it exactly how I want it in May. So, here’s what we’re working with:
Not too bad but definitely could be better (and a bit more grown-up since I just graduated and I’m looking for a “grown-up” job). I’m thinking of doing some new caramel highlights or maybe a rich brown color but otherwise… it’s up in the air. Lately, I’ve been pinning hairstyles and cuts/colors that I like to a Pinterest board and trying to be inspired… but! I’d still LURVE your help. Check out these pretties that I found:
So I’m thinking that with one of those styles (sheesh – apparently, I want bangs. opinions?), I could do one of the following ‘dos for my May wedding – keeping in mind that the wedding is outside in Texas so there’s a good chance that it will be HOT (and this is my dress [though my mom is altering it to become a strapless, like this one]). I'm also considering wearing a veil (from my best friend's wedding ensemble!) but it's not an over-the-face one so it can be anchored anywhere. With all that information in mind… feast your eyes, y'all:
So, Tulle Nation – whaddya think? Please, please, please chime in and be honest. I can take it. And feel free to share links to hair that you think I’d like or make suggestions for what will or won’t work for my features. Aaaannnd GO!

I am in love with #2 with the bump. Just so you know auntie.
Janna (Sparkly Love) says
GAH! haha you should have just heard me laugh outloud when I saw number 5. It’s me!!! Just a side note, the back of my bump looked like number 2. You couldn’t see it during the ceremony because of the position of my veil, but it came out to play fo sho during the reception. I wanted my hair to look exactly like number 2, but my hair doesn’t hold curl, and my wedding was July 4th in New England (HUMID MUCH?). I made the decision to go pin straight, even though I would have loved some curl, so that I could avoid looking like MUFASAAAA. So I would go with 2 if your day isn’t gonna be super hot. If it is gonna be super hot, rock the bump with a side pony like number 6 to keep that hair off of your neck!

I have very similar haircuts to the one that you posted! I absolutely LOVE my bangs and have had them for about five years now… they seriously make everything a little more fun and you can pin them back when you get tired of them! 🙂 I say go for it!
Sarah {A Paper Proposal} says
Awesome choices! Def try bangs! I’ve had them forever…little more work, but I love ’em! If you do decide to try them, try the more subtle, side swept bangs first (like 1 or 4). Less of a shock right off 🙂 As for bridal hairstyles, I’m kind of digging #6 the most! So fun!
Erika {Borrowed&Bleu} says
I think caramel highlights would be great! I agree with Sarah on the side swept bangs. I also really like #6 and #2!
erin says
i’m thinking either number 2 or 6 but i truly like them all

Ooooh! Lovin’ the pro-bangs commments! I’m starting to get forehead wrinkles so the bangs thing is becoming more and more of a reality with each passing month…
Adrienne O'Connor says
ahhh, so many good choices – I’m loving color from the top #1 and cut from the top #4, with the updo from the bottom #4. Wow – I don’t think you can go wrong no matter what you choose – and you better post pics! 🙂
KissMyTulle says
Giiirl, you KNOW that y’all are getting blow-by-blow wedding day hair posts leading up to The Big Day.
Jess@DestinationInspirations says
Wow this is a hard choice, I love bangs myself and think they would look great on you. I am loving #4 with low side chignon.
KissMyTulle says
Thanks! I was hoping people would think my face could pull off bangs.

They are all gorgeous ‘dos but I LOVE hairdo #4, so elegant & effortless 🙂
