Here are the results of my trials. I'm very happy with them both. On the day my hair will be sprayed/set so there aren't as many 'fuzzy-wuzzies'. I didn't get her to spray/set it during my trial as I wanted to take it all out before I got home to FH. Also after setting, the bobby pins will be replaced with invisible pins.

I'm happy to pass on info via PM if anyone is interested.










Forgot to mention that I've now purchased a 'bun filler' so the chignon will have more body on the day.

Wow...it is gorgeous!! I love the vintage/old hollywood feel to it!

Thanks! My dress is kinda late 40s/ early 50s so that's the look I was going for

Very classic!

Love your hair, it's gorgeous!!! Your make up looks flawless, but not overdone. No wonder you are happy with them!

i love your lashes

Beautiful... like the girls said!

Just wondering if you have a pic with your eyes open so I can see the finished look that way too xx

Yep, sure do! Here ya go...

You have beautiful eyes... if I was to do anything it would be to add a little more definition/colour to your cheekbones xx

Ah, great minds think alike! I do think I need a bit more contouring (I have a moon face!), but I don't want to have the zebra stripe blush look either... I also forgot to take my dress fabric sample with me (d'oh!) so I'm not 100% sure on the lipstick shade- but since I've bought 3 new lipsticks. Good excuse for more lippie!

On the day when I have the dress there and hair done etc etc we'll be able to tweak it a bit. My BMs and gay bestie will be there giving plenty of advice to all and sundry

Looks stunning!

Anica, I really love your hair from the rear, it looks very classic 50's vintage which by the sounds of it is exactly what you want . With a genuine opinion, the front looks lovely but it is somewhat plain. Is there anyway to have a sweeping fringe or are you putting a fascinator/net in your hair at all?? There is not alot happening from the front tis all.

Oh, and the MU looks spot on!! *Thumbs up* As already suggested just a bit more of a sweep of colour on the cheeks and you look DIVINE!!

I love it all.

Ohhh....it's so pretty. You make me want to get married all over again!

So excited for your big day.

Thanks girls!

Sorry Ruby, i didn't explain but the pics are at two different times- the two trials were separate. At my MU trial I just pulled my hair back into a pony.

Where my hair is twisted at the side it's pulled into a side fringe.

Not a very good pic, but you can kind of see it in this one. I look rather seedy as I was a tad hungover that day...

Ahhhhhh.. that looks GREAT then. Sorry for the misunderstanding.. Hair & MU looks divine.

Thanks Ruby! No worries
