March 2012 Weddings

Hair Dilemma

Ok so I need advice or something. I have no clue what to do with my hair for the wedding. Here is my dillema. I have curly hair, but if I try to add curl with a curling iron it lasts like two hours and turns into a mess. I don't get it! My hair just won't hold it. I tried a mock up for my engagement pics and by the time FI got home it was already a mess. And I realized from botched high school dance hair do's that this always happens. I like having hair around my face though because I feel like it frames it better. Idk. FI loves my hair straight. My parents don't and my mom has already made it a point to be like you've decided to wear your hair curly for the wedding right??

I had at one point thought about getting extensions and wearing it straight. (worried about moisture in the air in March in Indiana making it wavy again) or extensions and wearing it curly but I'm worried the curl won't hold. I've never really gotten it profesionally curled. Do the products they use make it stay better? I was using this as inspiration:

 

This is what I had planned for the Bridesmaids but maybe I need to keep it for myself?




Or this is a backup but I'm just so unsure about an updo :(




Idk if this post makes any sense but I'm looking for suggestions.  Or perhaps advice from other ladies who's hair is picky about accepting curls and how much that changes getting them done professionally?
