As for a chignon being too informal, it's your day. Do whatever you'd like!:)
Thanks so much for the help gals!!! We should definitely get together sometime. I would love to go shopping or to dinner or out to coffee or whatever. I am always ready to meet new people (especially with similar interests!):)
melbournian, you are so adorable. Those are pretty good pin curls for a first attempt!!
Welcome everyone! I have learned so much from these ladies already. They are wonderful.

Fifties Freak, your hair is fabulous! I can't believe it is so long and you get it to stay like that. If I had your length and tried to do that, it would fall out in a minute or two.
I think bandannas are great! I wore my hair in rolls the other day and decided not to take them out before I went to bed. The next morning I woke up late and had to hurry to get ready. I decided to wear a bandanna (Rosie the riveter style) and it only took a couple of minutes to fix my hair...
