Who doesn't love saving some cash and still coming up with a gorgeous and special hairdo, whether you're a bride, a bridesmaid or a stylish guest?
This is actually a pretty clear tutorial on doing finger waves (a look that requires a few run-throughs but can look great on any kind or length of hair):

Wedding Hair
Magazines, blogs, people will tell you: do a run-through of your hair with your stylist prior to the big day. All well and good, unless you're a) on a budget and b) your stylist is any good and costs more than $20 for the run-through. So what then?
My advice: book a normal cut or color with your stylist sometime before the wedding. (Chances are, you're going to need some kind of hair appointment in the 6 months prior to your wedding.) Make sure before you go in for your appointment that you've done your research on a couple of styles you like and at least know if you're going to have some kind of hair piece or veil. Try to do a version of the style you're thinking about when you go in. Bring your veil or a photo of your hair decor with you as well as a photo of the style you were trying to replicate. Before you get started on your normal appointment business, spend 5 minutes briefing the stylist on your thoughts for the big day. Obviously, this doesn't take the place of a full run-through. But it gives your stylist a heads up and allows him or her to steer you clear of any hair disasters that are going to leave you sorely disappointed.
Note: make sure you give your stylist an extra tip on your normal hair business appointment in consideration for their expertise and consultation. It's a nice gesture, good karma and will help motivate their memory of your discussion.
