I’m not gonna lie: When I saw 27 Dresses for the first time, I knew I had found an up-do possibility for my wedding day. You may not have seen the movie, you may have hated it; I quite like it. And even more than the film itself, I really liked Katherine Heigl’s wedding hair.
Shameless: Yes. Perfect hair: Just maybe.
Thus, when I went in to have my ‘hair trial’ with Freya at Tiko Lilly, I brought with me printed out screen captures from the film for my hair style. I also, shamelessly, brought random red carpet photos of Taylor Swift as well–although my hair has not one wave in it at all. Still, I felt it was the thought that counted.

Originally, I wasn’t sure I’d want such a thing as a ‘hair trial’ for my wedding do, but the more I thought about the endless possibilities for up-dos, what I really didn’t want, and that ‘up’ was probably going to be better than ‘down’–the more it seemed like a good idea. Plus, I got to chat to Freya, get comfortable chatting with her about what I wanted and didn’t want–and I found out that she does hair for Bridal magazines. An previously unknown score!

Aside from the pictures I brought in, I also knew that I was going to opt for a flower instead of a veil, which of course impacted which direction to take le hair-do. In addition, I also wore the earrings I was thinking about wearing for the ceremony, just to test. The latter was a good idea because, to be frank, the earrings just aren’t going to work for putting together a wedding look.

Overall, I was really happy with how the trial went and walked away feeling like it was a pretty good money spent for a bit of assurance on the big day. I am, of course, still nervous, but at least I have some pictures of me to have with me on the day instead of Katherine Heigl.
