hair trial tomorrow/major vent

odustudent22

so, my wedding is in 10 days...(one stressor)

some of you may have seen that my mom had an unexpected (and literally near death experience) issue on the 12th, and is currently in a rehab home that is giving her sub-par care and i'm spending every spare moment (i work 2 jobs) either on the phone trying to make things better for her/get her out of the hell house, or visiting her)....MAJOR STRESSOR

my paycheck for the "new job" was 1/2 what I was expecting, so I"m short my wedding fund by quite a bit (yet another stressor)

my sister and MOH just told me "something came up" and she's not going to come until the day before the wedding..so there goes any help from her for anything....I'll be lucky if she shows up to the rehearsal (after arguing about what the best care for our mom is she breaks this news to me....i got off the phone and just cried)

and my hair trial is tomorrow, and I have no clue what I want.  I could honestly care less at this point. FI asked if I was excited and I had forgotten about it...he had to remind me (and God love him, knowing how stressed I am he was trying to make it fun and exciting for me).  At this point I feel so numb that they could make me look like a poodle and I'd agree to it.  I've google searched half up/half down hairstyles with a veil, and nothing has jumped out at me.  help

Here's some of my inspiration pictures from my pinterest board. Take a look and see if that helps... sorry about all the other stuff, these things always happen in bunches, so hopefully the worst is over and you all can start coming down the other side of the hill...

At my trial run, we did 2 different styles. Make sure you bring your veil and anything else you want to wear in your hair and a photo of your dress. Tell the stylist what you want and let them show you what they can do!

I'm sure your stylist will be able to move you in a certain direction. I wouldn't stress about it anymore, just tell her you were thinking half up half down, curls no curls and I'm sure she will ask you a tone of other question that you just have to answer yes and no to. And guess what if you just have the general idea she can work with that and then if you find something you absolutely love between your trial and the wedding then you can just do that. I would just tell her I want it half up half down, I'm not really sure on the detail so can we try a bunch of different stuff, and then ask her if she is open to something else if you find something in the next 10 days.

Sorry about everything that you're going thru. I hope everything works out for you and your mom gets better soon!

@DeClue those hairstyles rock.

Sorry about everything! Try to enjoy your hair trial!! I love getting my hair done and it makes me relax a great deal! 

Money is an evil counter part in a wedding, there is never enough! Just breathe and TRY to enjoy the last few days of being an unmarried woman! From what I hear, it will all not matter anymore once the day is actually here!

Also! Thank you for the hair style board!!!

Sorry to hear life is so stressful for you right now.  To answer your question about your hair, perhaps just figure out if you want it all down, all up, or half up/down and tell just that to your hairstylist and let them work their magic based on their past experience.  Also, as they start doing your hair, you may find yourself wanting to give input and it may just fall together.  Don't stress too much about it - that's why you have a trial!
