Hair Help!

The ball is tomorrow...

I'm having my make-up done at the Bobbi Brown counter at Nordstroms (for free), but I don't know what to do with my hair.

I think the occasion calls for more than my regular boring look, but I'm not really interested in paying a fortune for an elaborate up-do.

Any suggestions on easy to do elegant styles, that I could do myself or with help from AL? I was thinking perhaps something with a vintage style to it (but thats probably wishful thinking).

my hair is just above my shoulders - pretty much all one length with some face framing layers.

I'm so excited to wear my dress again!!!

The Vienesse Ball! You must've missed my thread on wearing my gown to the ball.


Hundreds of balls take place in Vienna during the season of Fasching, which opens on New Year's Eve and is the last fling before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. Retaining the splendor and excitement of the age of Strauss, balls usually begin with a lavish opening ceremony featuring honored dignitaries, costumed dancers, and handsomely-clad young couples.

In 1978, students returning from the Stanford-In-Austria program organized the first Viennese Ball at Stanford campus. That first ball, held in Toyon Hall, was attended by 350 students. Today, the ball has blossomed into a prestigious formal affair held at spacious off-campus sites.

Al's a Stanford alumni - he went there for his masters (which is how we ended up in CA)

Thats fantastic!!!
Have a great time!!!!!

By the way you know I always loved your gown & wedding pics. Beautiful girl you are!

thank you!

Lisa, reading this and following the links to the description, you've got me so homesick for Cali! DH used to live right nearly the hotel in Burlingame where the ball will be held, and our apartment was about 1 mile from Stanford's campus (where, incidentally, Paul was born!)

I MISS CALIFORNIA!!! (Especially with all this awful snow in NY!)

HAve a wonderful time at the ball, Cinderella!

Claud - I wish we had found each other before you moved!

(I'm terribly afraid I'll miss this place once we head east...)

Will other gals be wearing their wedding gowns that is soooooo cool have a BALL
