She will be morecomfortable when posing for photos and an upsweep is especially flattering witha veil. Using a light-hold hairspray, such as L’Oréal Professionnel Infinium 2 (SRP $23, 11oz), Kate could wear amodern chignon for the ceremony similar to the style we created at BadgleyMischka and take her hair down for an effortless look at the reception.”
