Wedding Hair

Wow, time is running out quickly! We only have about 2 weeks till we are leaving for Arizona for my beautiful sister-in-law's wedding! I am in charge of the bride's hair, the maid of honor's hair, my own hair (of course) and both of my daughter's hair. I have quite a lot of hair to do! I've purchased some fun new styling products, made some new hair clips, and tried out some new styles that I would love to share with you today.

^The bride's hair flower! It turned out very pretty and she loves it!

^ For the Maid of Honor :)

^The new curling iron I bought to use on the bride's hair! I love it!
^ The new triple barrel iron I bought for myself to do my style. I'm so excited to do my hair like this!

^Practicing my curling for the bride's hair. Still working on it, but I've learned a new method that is very very pretty.

^Using the triple barrel deep wave iron. This is how I'm doing MY hair for the wedding. Haven't figured out how to pin the front back or even if I want to yet tho, just the style. I love it!

^A pretty up-do incase anyone needs it. Simple too :)

^Practicing the braiding technique called a "waterfall braid" for the maid of honor. The bottom of her hair will be lightly curled and she will have a small orange lily somewhere in there as an accent.

^This is the back of the bride's hairstyle. A Simple yet elegant pullover, the bottom will be curled very nicely. I've been practicing!! The small gold and white flower form the top will be placed over the bobby pinned area.

Flower girl shoes!

Man oh man were these fun to do! My original idea was to get a pair of these for each girl and make them into mock ballet slippers by sewing brightly colored ribbon to the bottom in the back and tying it up the girl's legs. Turned out to be expensive and hard because I couldn't find all the sizes I needed.

While trying to figure out what our cute little flower girls were going to be wearing on their feet, I came across these cute plain white shoes at Walmart for only $5 a pair.


I had a thought... How easy would it be to make shiney shoe laces? SUPER EASY! Clear scotch tape and shiney ribbon! Vwa-la!



Of course they couldn't just be done, they needed a little something extra. Glitter! Who doesn't love a little glitter on their shoes? My girls sure do. So here's the finished product, and I think they turned out pretty dang cute :)


P.S. Using a cheap plastic shower cap or, as I used, the slip on food covers (I got a box of 20 at Dollar Tree for $1) is a great way to store shoes for travel. It protects your shoes AND the clothes and other things they are near!
