Pinned Half Up
Gold Dipped Manicure
This hairstyle tutorial will show you a simple way to wear your hair half up. I actually wore my hair like this for my wedding 3 years ago. We had a small and intimate ceremony so I wanted to have soft and natural hair instead of something overly fancy.
If you have very thick hair, you’ll need more bobby pins (and probably the strong hold type that can be found at Sally Beauty Supply), however medium or thin hair is a great texture to work with on this style!

Since our wedding was a small destination wedding in South Carolina, we had a reception a few weeks afterwards in my hometown for friends and family.

You’re too cute as always!! Thanks for sharing!
You have a talent for matching your hairstyle to your outfit! This is such a cute little hairstyle, and seems simple but pretty enough for summer festivities
Love this tutorial and trying it today! Cute hairstyle and love your blog.
Love it! I like that top too…hope you’re having fun in NYC!
That’s how I wore my hair for my wedding. My hair stylist (and friend) did my hair and I loved it. I am going to use the tutorial and try to replicate it. I still has my faux crystal bobby pins we used.
Where did you get the earrings you are wearing…I love them!
Love this! Thanks for sharing! :]
This is how I wore my hair for my wedding too!! And I’m loving your skinny jeans on you, lady….
Very Pretty! Now we all want to see a wedding picture. 🙂
You seem to like neutral-toned shoes—just sayin’
I do–easy to pair with anything!

cute hairstyle !
I have thick hair… what bobby pins are strong hold? I bought the other kind that you recommended but I am not sure those will hold well enough.
The hair is lovely. I love your style and am definitely wearing those same earrings today! ha! fun fun 🙂
Hi! I’m a fairly new follower and I love your blog, your style, and your hair! Thanks for sharing your tips! I’ve already put some of them to use!
Oh you looked so beautiful on (both) of your wedding days! Your make up is flawless! Love the blog – keep up the great work!
You were a beautiful bride!! Thank you for showing this on short hair also. I have an angled bob and have been wanting to try this style. I’m looking forward to trying it this week! I really love your blog and am inspired to try more of your styles now that I am growing my bangs out. I also am a HUGE fan of Aquage now!
I love your short hair in your wedding pictures! Beautiful! How long are you planning to grow it? I’m at the in between stage now and need to either commit to growing it or cut it off again.

Love your wedding hair – so cute!
Love your short hair! I wish I could get that much lift in my hair!!
LOVE your hair shorter as well…you are such a cutie! Love your hair tutorials…thanks so much!
I love all of your hair videos–they are fantastic!
Kate, could you post a picture of your shorter hairstyle NOT pinned up? I would love to have an example of the style to show my hairstylist…thanks!
Are you able to tell us how to get that volume and lift with the short hair pics!!?? Excited to learn’
I love your short hair picture. I love your tutorials, but my hair is too short for most of them. Do you have any tips on how to curl short hair like in your wedding picture??
You looked BEAUTIFUL at your wedding!!! 🙂
Gorgeous bride, and still gorgeous. Can’t decide if I like your hair short or longer, you pull off both fantastically. 🙂 Always enjoy coming to your blog.

I LOVE yur wedding dress, stunning! And your hair looks great considering it was quite short at the time. Are you growing your hair longer now? And your ‘bangs’ (we call it a fringe here in the UK!!) I’m copying your hair alot lately and my ‘fringe’ is growing out like yours but it is getting on my nerves already – I tend to do the ‘twist’ which is great now our weather has finally decided to warm up lol!! Great blog! xxxxxx
I love all of your hair tutorials! I wish you in my area to do my hair for a wedding in June.
As ALWAYS – your hair is just awesome! I really appreciate your energy and positive outlook. I check in as often as possible to see what new hair styles and outfits you’re showing off. 🙂

Thanks for the added photos from your wedding. You were a BEAUTIFUL bride!!!
I love your wedding pictures. I had the same colors!! This tutorial is perfect. I have a wedding this weekend and I have been trying to figure out my hair. I did not want to wear it down curly or all the way up. Thanks!!!
Your wedding dress is absolutely gorgeous and I love that hairstyle on shorter hair! I’m cutting mine a couple of inches in a few days so that it’s off my shoulders for the summer and I’ve been worrying a little, but seeing how cute your short hair was makes me excited!
I love your pictures!! The short hair you had at your wedding is exactly what I have been looking for. How would you describe your cut??
Aww thanks so much for adding the photos!!! 🙂

I love your wedding pics!! Beautiful! I just got married in March and I adore wedding photos! Especially black and white pics! So timeless 🙂

Goodness girl, you are gorgeous normally, but on your wedding day–WOWZERS!!
I love your hairstyle! I have long layers and would like to get mine cut like this. How do I tell the stylist to cut it?
Thanks,
Stacy
You are so pretty. And, thanks, i will try this!
Hi Kate!
I have short hair much like you had in your wedding but can NEVER figure out how to do it. It’s semi-wavy .. not too thick. Do you have any other pictures of you with shorter hair? I just have a hard time getting it to curl with my layers. I’m growing it out now!
I was just going to ask you the same thing, ha, ha, as Victoria. I have hair that exact length now and am having a hard time with it. If you have any more pictures at that length..we’d love to see them!
Yeah tracy! haha
love your hair shorter! you have gorgeous hair long or short,but short shows of your beautiful face even more 😉
Love the half-up. I’ll have to try that. Here in the Houston area, we really need a hairstyle like that one! (:^)
oh my gosh what a cute hair do, your so beautiful and your hair is awesome, cant wait to try it, we have a convention coming up this weekend, cant wait to try it! thanks!

O GUESS WHAT??!!
Catch this great feedback for you and your help-ful-ness…
I was in a wedding this weekend, and we were doing our own hair and makeup. I am NOT a hair person, so I got on your blog and watched a bunch of your videos and started trying hairstyles. Welllllll… not only did my own hair look good but I got to help several of the other girls with their hair too. WHAT? ME? Why yes, with your help! Thanks for sharing your *creative-ness* with me!!
And please, continue doing so!!
Love your ideas and enjoy your helpful and easy instructions!
I love your videos! I especially loved seeing pictures of your hair at your wedding. That is about the length my hair is. I would love more info on your cut at that time. I am thinking about getting long, side-swept bangs cut, but I am scared. It’s been 10 years since I grew out my bangs and it wasn’t a pretty process, so I don’t want to regret getting bangs again. Any advice for me to tell the stylist?
