wedding hair!

So, it's been a while since I've posted here, but I just wanted to share some photos of wedding hair that I've been toying with, and see if anyone had feedback. Just think of these as more of an "inspiration board" than actual looks I'd like to copy exactly- since my hair is thick, wavy, and layered and I'm not blonde, tan, or Sienna Miller. My best friend Debbie will be helping me with hair and make-up, which is a giant relief because my hair listens to her.
First off, I really like the idea of some braids:

Also, I love a little a-symmetrical action:

And lastly, I like this simple, loose chignon:

Maybe we can get wild and try to do all three!
Tell what you think, girls...
