Carrie Underwood had a simple hairdo for her wedding to cope with the humidity.
The country singer tied the knot with ice hockey player Mike Fisher last month and the bride was keen to have her blonde tresses put up becuase she didn't want her locks ruined by the heat.
Her make-up artist Melissa Schleicher said of the nuptials at the Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro: "It was really, really hot and it was raining around 4 o'clock, just before the wedding, so I had to think of the humidity. The hair was a concern so I did kind of an updo. I just it curled it all over and just pieced it up and pinned it with bobby pins all over, real simple."
Melissa says Carrie was so confident with what she would do with her hair the pair didn't have a practice run.
She said: "We didn't practice before the wedding or anything - we've done so many award shows and so many hairstyles, so she just lets me do what I do."
For the ceremony, Carrie wore a Chantilly lace and silk organza Monique Lhuillier gown but has admitted she changed into a strapless cocktail dress for the reception so she could showcase her dancing skills better.
She said "The wedding dress was huge, I wanted to get my boogie on, so I had to change."
