A.J. Hanley MAY 1, 2010 • NEW YORK, NY

“I'm not an updo type of girl, but I wanted to look special. I thought this wavy style, which was coaxed into soft spirals and pinned up on one side, was the perfect compromise. It was feminine but contemporary and it complemented the asymmetry of my tulle-skirted gown.” Photos by Cynthia DelConte Photography, dayfornightproductions.com; Hair by Renee Cohen

Leah Edwards-PittasJULY 4, 2010 • RICHMOND, VA

“I have long, straight hair and wanted the complete opposite for my wedding. I thought my birdcage veil needed a soft, classic hairdo to accompany it, so I asked my stylist to give me a tidy pile of curls for my wedding. It stayed looking fresh the entire afternoon and evening!”Photos by Don Mears Photography (donmearsphotography.com); Hair and makeup by
