So here you go, all the pictures I promised. Sorry if some of them are a little dark (it got a bit dark in the ball room.) Enjoy!

Anna doing Shannen's hair. |
|
The day before the ball was our quilting club so I invited the girls from the quilting club to come to ball the next day. We (Anna and I) offered to do the girls hair. Sorry there aren't a lot of pics of doing their hair. I was busy what can I say.

Lindsey's hair, done by my mom. |
Lindsey's hair was so thick, it would not hold a curl. But my mom did a great job and it lasted all night falling out of the pins just after we walked out the door. Lol!
We let Lindsey borrow a costume. Thankfully mom had a long dress and Claire had a black shawl that matched.
|
Cenna's hair, done by me. |
I did Cenna's hair. I wanted to do it like this:
But I made a bun instead of tucking it under. I think it turned out really cute!
|
Bethany's hair done by me. |
I also did Bethany's hair, I was going to do the same style as Cenna's but Bethany's hair was way to thick so I just did a simply bun with some curls out in the front.
|
Shannan's hair done by Anna. |
Anna did Shannan's hair and I loved the little braids on the side.
|
Brianna's hair done by my mom. |
My mom did Brianna's hair copying from Anna's idea.
|
My hair, also done by my mom |
She also did the same on me instead the other style I had practiced (for some reason when we did it, it just looked really bad).
|
About ready to leave for the ball. |
I took some wire and attached some pearl so bobby pins to go in my hair.
|
All in all I think the outfit came together very well. |
|
Showing our ankles, don't look! :P |
