Wedding Wednesday: I'd Like The Kate, Please

Hi! Thanks for squeezing me in. I know you don’t have a ton of time, but I just wanted to give you a few notes on how I’d like to look on my big day. I’ve got something kind of specific in mind.

No, actually, there really isn't much more to say about my wedding hairstyle than this post title. (But do click on that link and read the whole article - I was cringing with shame on behalf of all brides for an hour after I finished!)  Basically, I'd like the Kate, please, but sure, since you asked, I'll expand on that:

I almost always wear my hair half-up, and I definitely want to feel like me on my wedding day - me, but me plus, which is why I'll be having someone* do my hair professionally.  When I get a blow-dry, which I can't do successfully by myself, I specifically ask for it to have volume and life; I don't like pin-straight hair (on me) and start to hyperventilate when I see a flat-iron.  Honestly, I'd probably just go for bounce rather than styled waves if my wedding day were just about me, but Jon likes my hair curly and I want to be the most beautiful me according to both of us when we get married.  So I'll have the Kate, please!  (And yes, there will be bling.  More on that next week!)

*The one detail I haven't yet secured for my wedding is a hairdresser for myself, Sarah, and Ellie, and the six women in the area I've contacted so far are already booked on our date.  If anyone has a recommendation (specifically in Suffolk, Norfolk, or Cambridgeshire, but I'll bring someone out from London if I have to) that you're comfortable passing on, I'd be supremely grateful!
