So much has been happening lately, I can't believe I have not been posting at all on my blog. Please forgive me! But I have a good excuse, I'm getting married! My love Justin and I are getting married at my home in Micronesia on New Year's Eve, next month. I've been trying out bridal hairstyles, and have decided on something rather like this.
Last week I went to get my bridal portrait done! What a wonderful, amazing experience. I've dreamed for so long about being a bride, and now it is actually happening. I love my dress and veil and can't wait to walk down the aisle and be married.
To make this hairstyle, I first created a poofy section at the top of my head with bobby pins. Then I took a small section of hair and braided a 3-strand braid, gently pulling on one edge as I braided to give the braid a lacey look. I wrapped this braid around like a headband and pinned it in place. In this version, the bun is a smooth low bun wrapped around with another three strand braid. In my bridal portrait, the bun is a flower bun made with two 3-strand braids that have had one edge gently pulled like my headband braid. The pulled-out sections look like petals in the flower bun. This flower bun is the bun-style I think I will do on my wedding day. What do you vote?
I can't promise to post pictures as often as I have in the past, but I will do my best to have something new to share several times a month. Please feel free to browse through past months and years and see all the hairstyles and braids I have shared along the way. Your love and friendship is greatly appreciated, thank you to all my dear friends around the world.
Love, Andrea
