Ask Dr. LJ: Help with wedding hair
Okay, I realize I'm not getting hitched for another 7 months. But I'm all of a sudden thinking about hairstyles, because I went to get my hair cut this weekend and asked my stylist in passing whether the salon does wedding hair. She said yes, all the stylists there do, and started to play with my hair to give me some ideas for what to do with mine. Her favorite idea involved teasing my hair at the crown so it poufs up a bit, leaving my bangs to fall forward and the rest of my hair down. I recoiled in horror at this idea, because it made me look EXACTLY like the governor of a certain northern state. I've already gotten Sarah Palin a few times -- I suppose it makes sense, my face shape is similar to hers, so I chose a haircut and glasses a lot like hers, well before McCain had to go and make that haircut and those glasses famous by picking her as his running mate. I do not want to get Sarah Palin on my wedding day!
So, I'm looking for hairstyle ideas that fit the following criteria, in order of importance:

So, I'm looking for hairstyle ideas that fit the following criteria, in order of importance:
- Do NOT get me mistaken for a moose-hunting hockey mom Jesus freak failed vice-presidential candidate
- Look good with my face shape
- Are appropriate for my medium-length, almost-straight, fairly thick hair
- Leave my neck exposed (this was testitest's only request)
- Do not remind me of my senior prom (ie, no piled-on-top-of-the-head updos)
