hair trial complete!

The other day I stopped into my hair dressers for a quick trim and a hair trial! If you remember, I already bought some fake hair to extend my ponytail and give the illusion of thick hair. Therefore, I knew going into my trial that I wanted a side ponytail hairstyle. I also thought I'd really like to include some sort of braid into my hair. I'm not big on super intricate updos, but wanted to keep my hair out of my face so I wasn't tempted to touch it all night long. Now I forgot my fake hair, so you will have to picture it with a long, thick, curly ponytail, but here is what we came up with: (personal photos ahead)




As you can see the braid wraps around my entire head, not all that defined in the front but gets more defined as it goes. And just in case you need a refresher and don't feel like clicking on the link, here is me with my fake hair so you can see how much length I will gain with Jessica Simpson's Hair-Do:


I think the long hair will really make the style- it definitely looks a little kooky with my tiny ponytail though. Anyhoo, I'm happy with it. I think a hair accessory will make a nice finishing touch, but I can't decide what I should get.

Option #1) large fabric flower: this is really sweet, adorable, and feminine.

Option #2)rhinestone bow: I don't think you guys have really realized my true love for bows, but I LOVE BOWS! they are so cute! and this would definitely elevate my wedding look to a little more fancy.

Option #3: mini orchids/pins scattered in the braid: my florist originally planted this idea in my head, stating that she could provide some mini orchids to be placed throughout my hair. I think this look is adorable, sweet, and fits the look I am going for. Is it weird, though, that I would not be using orchids ANYWHERE else in the wedding?

I am super confused and don't know which accessory would work best. So Hive, please help me! Which one do you like most?!

And was your hairstyle a breeze to decide on, or did it take a while to find something that worked well for you?
