Bridal Hair: All Down

You may have seen Good Style's favorite picks for bridal hair up-do's and bridal hair half up-do's, but maybe what you're really looking for is an all-down hairstyle for your big day. Look no further, because this post is for you. Whether your hair is long or short, curly or straight, one of these versatile styles is sure to catch your eye. It's hard to go wrong with simple beach-inspired waves. This laid-back look is flattering for nearly any face shape. Add a flower, headband, or side braid for a more complete style.

Save the Date

Save the dates are an important part of the oh-so-detailed wedding process. It's a way to share your great news with family and friends and to get your special day on their calendar. Your save the date should be a fun and creative interpretation of you and your significant other. Get the receiver excited about your special day, and give them a taste of what's to come. If you know that your wedding is going to have a certain feel, then express that through your save the date. For example, if you're planning on having a laid back outdoor wedding, then select natural colors or textures. Burlap, string, and wood are great materials that will give a classy yet natural look.

If you're having a destination wedding, choose a fun, graphic map for your save the date. Locate your wedding's location with a heart for an added personal touch.

Want to put your DIY skills to use? Create mini banners with the date of your wedding and include one as part of your save the date. Receivers will be likely to hang this cute little banner somewhere around their house -- which will keep your wedding fresh on their mind. And last but not least is surely the most unique idea yet... have your save the date information printed on a balloon. It may not last much longer than a week, but I guarantee that's long enough to make a great impression!

Mason Jar Decorating

Who knew that mason jars could be so great for decorating? I do now!

Create a mason jar vase and fill it with flowers for a beautiful yet casual arrangement. Whether it's the focal point of your kitchen counter or the centerpieces for a laid-back outdoor wedding, I promise they'll be perfect.

Add a little mason-jar-beach to your life (my personal fave). Fill a mason jar with sand or sea glass and top it off with a tea light - and "voila" instant beachy home decor. Line them up on your mantel or use them as accents for a party. Don't love the beachy feel as much as I do? Create reusable drink glasses that have a vintage-country feel. Or fill 'em up with branches, pebbles, or acorns for a natural look.
