Bridal Beauty Breakdown

I'm 4 1/2 months out from D-Day (or should I call it W-Day?), and I haven't the slightest clue how I want my hair and make up to look. I haven't even booked a hair and make up person for my wedding day yet, and it's starting to stress me out. It's something I know I need to do, but for some reason it's just less fun than the other things I've managed to book. Will I find someone decent who will make me pretty? Or have I passed the point of no return? There are a few different looks I like, but I don't know if I want my hair up, down, half up, or in a side pony on top of my head. I don't know if I want red lips, nude lips, pink lips, no lips, or a mustache. But here are some of the bridal beauty photos I've admired, and perhaps I will be so lucky as to look this lovely on my wedding day.

Well, now that I've posted all of those, it seems 83% clear that I want my hair up, doesn't it. Solved one problem today, hooray!

So, help me out please, how long before your wedding did you book your hair and/or make up person? When did you know how you wanted to look on your wedding day? Will I ever sort this out?

P.S. I think I'm going slightly crazy from all this wedding planning...
