I'm finally getting around to posting this. This wedding was three weeks ago and I had a blast (as I do everywhere I go).
I did my own hair and makeup. I refused to pay for something I know I can do and do it better to where I will actually like it. I have went to MAC in the past and had my makeup done but there was always just something about it that I didn't like. Not that it wasn't done beautifully but it just wasn't my style. Getting my hair done is a different story. I NEVER like it when I get my hair styled by a professional. I think updo's look like poo on me and if they fix my hair down with curls they NEVER stay. But when I curl my hair it stays, funny huh? I hate myself with an updo, so thats out of the question. So, originally I was just going to fix my hair normally, just with a little extra volume and some extra time spent on it. But then I found my three barrel curling iron in my closet and decided to play with it one night. I liked the results but everyone else loved it. And I then came to the decision that I was going to do my hair like that for the wedding, so I did.
So, onto the makeup...

And for hair I used mostly Big Sexy Hair products. I have very fine and thin hair, so I need all the volume I can get. And Big Sexy Hair does it for me. I started with their Shampoo and Conditioner. I used the Volumizing Blow Dry Gel on the middle to ends of towel dried hair. And starting on the top of my head, with the hair closest to my forehead, I made a part and used Root Pump Plus at the part, and continued making parts and spraying with product until I got to the middle of the back of my head. And then on the sides above my ears, I just sprayed a little of the Root Pump Plus onto my finger tips and massaged it in. I dried my hair upside down and combing hair to the front. (I hope that all made sense. I explained the best I could.)
I used a Vidal Sasson Three Barrel Curling Iron with Bed Head Maxxed Out Hair Spray. When I was done with all the hair, I just gently combed out with my fingers and then sprayed all over with some Big Sexy Hair Spray-N-Play Hair Spray.
And thats about it. Our dresses were from Alfred Angelo in the color Celadon. And I wore Theirry Mugeler Angel perfume. I had acrylic nails put on, done very short with white tips and my toes were painted with China Glaze's Prize Winning Mare polish. And I think thats just about all the little extras.
Here are a few more pictures...
