Formal Hairstyles Q/A for prom, wedding etc

[Erin]

hair should look beautiful, not.. sculptural.

I'm actually very much liking the idea of a more "sculptural" 'do for my wedding... curled and up, with some body..

does anyone have suggestions for what to do with short hair for prom?

Aww you're getting married?!! Congratulations!
I'm pretty sure Uma's hair would be great on you (if I remember you correctly). Or anything similar to that hairstyle. Jessica Alba's updo's would suit you quite well too I think.

something like this:

FleurDeLys, thank you.

^ Oh, yes, that's gorgeous - the second I love... do you think it'd look to busy with a couple of flowers in there??

You're welcome!

I think it depends on your dress. If it is already a 'busy' dress, you should keep your hair nice and romantic without any flowers. If it is a simple dress however, you could try to put a nice white flower in your hair to spice it up a little.
Same goes for jewelry actually. I wouldn't wear any jewelry with a dress that 'stands' on its own. If it's a simple dress, you can wear some jewelry or put flowers in your hair, but not both.
But then again, that's just me, I don't like 'overload' ;-). I prefer simple yet very elegant dresses, with a lovely updo and soft romantic make up. Just enough to make you the most beautiful one of the day^^.
So, as I said, it really depends on the dress.

^ I don't prefer overload, either, especially on my wedding day. Here's a little preview as to my wedding ensemble, from the seamstress (and I apologize to those who have seen this elsewhere on the Fashion Spot )

I'm having vintage gold buttons added to the back, and I want my seamstress to get rid of that huge gathering of tulle at my back. Since I plan on wearing that, I am going to go sans a veil. Still thinking of adding a gorgeous belt, but NOT a ribbon sash.

This dress calls for some gorgeous hair and a flower or two.

Oh yes, that's a gorgeous dress! That's the kind of dress I would see myself wearing too on my wedding day. Simple but very elegant. An updo à la Uma or Jessica and some flowers will make it perfect .
Aww, you're going to look stunning!

(Oh, and I don't think the dress needs a belt, it looks perfect as it is, without the tulle. But that's just my opinion of course )
