Hair trial and before and after weight loss dress *flash* :D

6 August, 2011 at 02:42 Posted on Planning 0 31

What a weird old day I've had!

I'll start with the hair trial, from day one I always had a pic in my mind of a gorgeous updo with a mass of like loops at the back. I have a real issue with my ears so know the tops at least would have to be hidden but i was sure I could make it work. So I went today and my hairdresser said ok, we'll start by curling it. As he was curling it every person in the salon started drooling over my hair and saying they wish their hair could curl like that (mine is mega thick and bouncy). I said that i didn't think having my hair down was very wedding-y and i wanted something a bit more 'special'. Anyway, he carried on and did the updo... and I hated it. Like can't stand it. Here it is...

Yuck yuck yuck. Sorry for the picture size by the way, I don't know how to shrink them!

I had pre-arranged to go and try my dress on after the hair appointment to see if it fitted properly as the loops had been fixed. So I went along to the dress shop with a face like a fiddle because I hated my hair. My dress was there and all fixed and cleaned and I put it on and it did up and I felt fabulous again! But still the hair was niggling at me, and I kept thinking about the curls. So I asked my mum to pull it out. I wanted to try veils too and they weren't working with the horrid updo. So, lots of tugging and 5 mins later (and bear with me here, it had been back-combed and all so remember that this is an uber scruffy version of what it will look like....)

I looooove it soooo much!! I never thought i would have it down, but i am so happy! And i have an actual veil! ?

And now for the weight loss before and after..... (sorry if before makes you queasy! ?)

And today.... (i know i still have back fat but hey, nobodys perfect ?)

And yes, that is the actual same dress!!!!! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

AND!!!!! Its 6 weeks today (technically) until i can walk down the aisle it it!! Yaaay!

    Your hair look lovely down. Congrats on the weight loss! The dress looks like it's been done really tight. If they loosen it about that may help with how the back lays

    Well done you on the weight loss! On the first pic, I like your hair at the back but it didn't seem to suit your face at the front but the way you and your Mum have done it is far better! Really, really suits you with hair down and suits your veil too.

    You look lovely!

    The dress could be an alfred angelo - i tried on one very similar!

    Can i be nosey and ask how much weight you've lost between the 2 pics?! you don't have to say, but i'm trying to lose weight at moment (lost 2 stone last year but struggling to lose more). have lost around 7 pounds on WW so far in about 7 weeks, so just wondering how much you lost to make such a big difference if you know what i mean! MOTIVATE ME!!! ?

    I also think the hair is suited to you much better with it being down, its clear for everyone to see how happy you are (and that's all that matters, that you feel happy and comfortable) Smiley laugh X

    You look fab! I think the hair looks lovely both ways TBH but it's quite clear you feel better with it down so that's definitely the way to go. Congrats on the weights loss too, I am 10lbs down with 25lbs to go, it's a long slog but I'm sure I'll get there like you did ?
