here i am...in the holy land!

I've made it! The wedding is on Sunday and it is now Tuesday and I have to say after the last 2 days of utter stress and chaos it looks like I might be on my way to having my loverly Israeli beach wedding. Wedding Planning 101 does NOT teach you how to navigate the wedding world in another language and culture! I think I'm ready for pretty much everything now...the biggest lesson ever...never assume anything and expect the worse...ha! Oh and if you think you are both talking about the same thing, find a second person to translate because chances are you are not!

On a positive side, I did have a great hair trial with the hair stylist I booked that I never met or tried out...phew! He came highly recommended from my makeup artist who gave me the much anticipated vogue cheek so I figured I was in good hands {only 5 more days until my vogue cheek and I are reunited!} We are going to go with the braided Molly Sims hair-did but he is going to gather it up in the back for the ceremony and when the sun goes down and its less hot he wants me to let it loose down my shoulder like in the picture. I like the versatility of this!

And I promise to finally post the pics of my Kate Hudson dress as soon as the wedding is over. It is still being hidden from the eyes of my D. He got all superstitious on me.

So today I think after a couple more errands this morning we will take some time for ourselves and do a little sunbathing on the beach. Yipppeeee!

messy side buns

And on to the next wedding!!! For a completely different wedding than the Circus Wedding, the wedding in Israel will be a very beachy and modern event. I am leaning towards a messy, braided, side bun kinda thing as it seems beach appropriate but also trendy. I also want to get my hair up and out of the way due to the crazy scorching heat we will be dealing with. I've been having fun scouring the internet for some good inspiration pics and I think I came up with quite a few options. I'm thinking I might need some help with a bit of fake hair as these all look best with thicker, wavier hairs than mine.

{Really love Molly Sims' hair}

{Might be a bit too messy casual at the back for a wedding but I like the braids}

{Intrigued by combining Molly Sims' braids with Naomi Watts' side bun}

{I like the braid with the mess but perhaps a tad less of the birds nest mess?}


{This is pretty. Just wonder if my bangs will look this nice in 40 degree humidity? But perhaps I could add the Molly Sims braid to this look as well.}
