I actually love #3... It's kind of what I want to aim for. I've been growing out my hair from a pixie cut for about three years, and it's finally just past my shoulders! But I love the idea of soft, romantic waves. Plus, our wedding is going to be out on an acreage with more rustic decorations (lots of wood and flowers and whatnot) so I don't want anything that looks too "done".
All are beautiful!!!... but question: How does your hair hold curl (without half a can of hairspray in it?) My cousin did a half up/half down side sweep, and we had to go between the ceremony and reception back to her room to re-curl it (we were at a resort in Mexico, off season - wasn't due to the heat).
If it holds curl well, no problem... if you lose curl after a couple hours, prepare for starchy hair, or maybe look for something with more structure? Althought the bo-ho straight look with the braid is super cute!
I would go for 3 or 4 if I had enough hair! I love braids and I love the half up look. It's what I did (but with about 1/10 the length of these pictures!)
