There was another bride at the salon for my hair trial – she was with her mom and bridesmaids. They were sipping mimosas and enjoying bagels with the stylists, taking turns having their hair done. The bride had a pretty veil and really cute short hair, super shiny and full of volume. There she is in the corner behind me – bride and bride-in-training.
I really liked how my hair turned out for the test run. But it didn’t stay “up” very well, partly because I have a ton of unruly hair, partly because it had been messed with too much, and partly because it needed better pins. Those pins shaped like a U never work for me – do they for anyone? I need the grippy ones you have to pry open, and an entire can of hairspray.
And here’s the last of the difficult questions. Hairstyle chosen, menu approved, timeline set, song list delivered. But what color will I paint my fingernails?
Dear Future Julia,
Please stop buying neutral nail polishes. You have too many, and you are not very good with minor decisions.
xoxo,
Julia
Tomorrow is the big day!
Hi there…I too LOVE neutral colored nail polishes!!! Not sure if it’s pictured, but I love, love, love Essie ballet slippers! I think that is what I’m planning to do for my wedding.
your hair looks fabulous!
and you look SO much like debra messing in that picture,
i thought it was her for a second.

If OPI Bubble Bath is one of your choices, I vote for that. It’s my fave, plus Giada on Food Network wears it, and her nails always look great!
Your hair is GORGEOUS! Love that updo. I like that OPI color third from the left as long as it’s not too translucent.
This is a very late comment but I had to say that I’ve noticed your nail polishes have hardly been used… I feel so much better, thank you! I have pretty much the entire ESSIE collection (ok, I exaggerate, but it’s still a lot), and I’ve only worn them once and I doubt I’ll wear them again… I’ve stopped the bad habit and now I just go to the salon for a paint so that I don’t have to buy the whole bottle for one application.
