Keyword- Options

    Naturally, when a man proposes to a woman, she immediately begins planning their/her big day. She imagines the church, the flowers, the beautiful white dress... And so she sets out to find the perfect one of each of those. For me, it wasn't much different after Kevin proposed. But, one of my first thoughts was- what kind of hair am I going to wear???
    I must say, this is definitely one of the perks to wearing a wig. I'm sure throughout this blog we will explore the countless upsides that I have found to wearing hair, but for now, let's focus on how lucky I am that I get to choose my wedding hair! :)
    This time last year I was preparing to compete in the Miss America Pageant. I went through many of the same decisions that most brides do, but with a different goal in mind- since when you're engaged, you've already won the prize! I remember flipping through all sorts of magazines, and glancing back at pictures of former Miss America's to decide what kind of hair I would want. What shade of blonde should it be? Should it be shoulder length? Or maybe down to my mid-back? Curly or straight? Highlights, lowlights?
    At this point, you may be thinking that most girls have the option to change their hair, too. But I had the privelege of being able to literally hand select my hair from a catalog, have a fitting, and then go through all the same processes that other contestants would. Dreamy, right?
    If you have never worn a wig before, you may be surprised to see the word "options" in the same sentence as "wig". But, as I learned two years ago, you can make your hair look however you would like!
    To bring you up to speed- I have purchased my wedding gown... I have selected the venue... I have designed the floral arrangements, the cake, the stationary and so on. And now it is time to.... Plan my hair!!!
    I am so much more excited about this than you could imagine. I often forget just how many options I have. I can't decide if I want a bright blonde piece, or something with deeper tones. As I learned in our Gemtress photoshoot last month- I may even be able to pull off brown! So, I figured- why not open this up to the worldwide web, and see what you all think! I can give you the first few votes I have received: My mother (the fabulous, superwoman) likes the below should-length, multitoned blonde that I won the title of Miss Delaware in- styled by OnRite retailer/owner of Hair Therapy for Women, Bobbi Russell. And my best friend prefers the long, wavy, slightly deeper blonde wig I wore at the Miss America pageant (from Salon Rispoli in Delaware).
