Since I don't normally use hair styling products, I'm looking for some advice.

I have long layered hair that I want to have curled and styled in a half updo for my wedding. I'll be washing my hair the night before my appointment and would like some suggestions on what product to use before blowdrying to help give my hair some grip and to help hold the curl.

Any products that really hold up in the humidity and keep hair smooth and frizz free would be great!

I forgot to ask my hairstylist when I went for my cut. Thanks in advance.

That is a gorgeous dress. Very unique, I like the asymmetrical detail.

inspiredfyre, I'm getting married at SMB in a couple weeks. My hair is down to my mid back and I'm still trying to get some inspiration pics together to take down with me. That website you posted has a lot of pics. I'd like to have real flowers in my hair and I'll be wearing a veil.

I was going to have a trial at home but for $50-70 I figured it was too pricey.

I'll let you know how it goes with the resort stylist.

I think it looks great without a sash. But if your heart is set on some colour then an aqua blue sash sew in on the sides of the corset would be pretty.

I voted for #1 (Olivia) I think it looks great with your dress.

Not sure if it's possible but if that shoes was dyed a pink or blue it would look amazing!

Dress has been sold.

Congrats MarieSam! You looked just gorgeous and I can't wait to see more pics. Love your bouquet, it's so tropical and beautiful.

Everyone has such great shoes!

Finally got my beach ceremony shoes

Tan and gold Coach wedges.

Great deal on the pronovias. Both dresses are beautiful.

The 1st and 3rd dresses are my faves on you.

Gorgeous dress! Hope you can post your picture in it.

2 days wow! You must be so excited

Hope you have the best time and I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.

Thanks for sharing the link to your review and pics, they are great!

Congrats Heidi, your pictures are beautiful. Glad you enjoyed the Solymar, Varadero has the best beach.

Yean, your pictures are beautiful! Such a gorgeous wedding party.

Thanks for the great suggestions ladies. I was going to try a Flattering me bustier but the only places I know of that carries them here are bridal salons and they are at least $80. A bit much for something I'll prolly only wear once for a few hours.

The VS 100 way suggestion actually works with my dress! I already have a nude strapless bra with that extension band that wraps around the waist. I totally forgot about it.... Tried it on and it's invisible under my dress. Yeah!

More pics of the Maggie Sottero Andie gown.
