Recently, I got my hair done in a faux bob updo and I fell in love with it. Because my hair is so big and wavy, I've never been able to have an actual real bob. It would be total frizz overload, annoying as balls on the upkeep and overall not a pretty sight... Which makes me sad because I LOVE the Marylin Monroe bob and have always wanted to cut my hair like hers, but alas... the faux version will have to do....
Here are some inspiration pics for my wedding hair. I want to make it a little more whimsical, more messy, and more high-fashiony than these, but you get the idea.
As for the ever important veil/no veil/hair flower question.... I have decided to NOT wear a veil. And instead I am getting a hair-piece custom made by the amazingly talented Nic from Tiaras and Fascinators. She specializes in the most gorgeous couture pin-up, retro hair-wear. I am currently coming up with a design that would work with my faux bob... something likely made of feathers and sinamay... Below is a shot of my hair in a faux bob from an event I modeled a bridal gown at (more on that later):

So what kind of hair piece do you guys think would look good with this hairdo? And if you have time, (and love me enough to do this), check out Tiara's and Fascinators and tell me which one you think would look the best. I'm clueless as of right now. Below are pictures of the designer modeling her own work. Isn't she gorgeous?! I can't wait to wear one of her designs. Let's just hope my hair looks as fly as hers does in these pics.
Thanks for your advice on the hair, loves! How are you guys doing your hair for the wedding?

HOW CUTE IS SHE?!
I think you will look fly in any of em.
I have to say I love the Polly fascinator, and of course the Jessica.
Go big or go home, right?? :)
LOVED your hair at backstage bridal! you looked so fabulous. can't wait to see how gorgeous you'll look at your wedding!!
I never even thought about a faux bob hairstyle. I LURVE it! And you will look awesome!
Some major swooning happening over here.
#3!#3!!!!
I love your hair like that.
LOVE the hair and the hair accessory options. After drooling over the entire site and checking out the close-ups, I'm going with fascinator number 1: I little bit bride, a little bit rock and roll, a whole lot of awesome!
Ooh LOVE fascinators! Shoot, I rocked mine at the after party lady (I changed into a regular dress then)
I kinda love the LOLA and her other high, structured, creamy creations. I am a 1950 kinda girl I guess - anything feminine and with feather. But that's me. What is your dress like? It's just gotta be something you love.
P.s. I am partnering with a blogger buddy to give away a birdcage veil or fascinator from her shop in a few weeks among other random bridal loot. Be sure to enter!
Love your faux bob! I'm 'blessed' with naturally poker straight hair which is a bit of pain as I suit it messy and curly!
I love the first fascinator. And faux bob = awesome.
Following along with you now :)
PS- I heart Bowie.
I actually had my hair just (okay, fine, almost) like that! I am not going to lie, I felt super hot. The sparklers nearly light my hair on fire but who care about that really?
love the hair! you look awesome!
Oh wow! I just love your hair in the faux bob...it is glorious!
i loveeee the faux bob on you. that's awesome.
