Vintage or modern?

First off, as all of yous must of noticed that I haven't been around much. The last couple of weeks have been hectic, which explains my lack of posting. It shows that the holidays are just around the corner. Regardless of all the shopping and snow, the planning must go on and my indecisiveness regarding my hair continues.

I'm still not sure whether or not I will go to the hairdresser for my bridal hair. My maid of honor offered to do my hair - free of charge of course. Now we all want to cut expenses... but I don't know if my hair is the way to go. I know what she will do will be beautiful... but it won't be like the magazine clippings I have been accumulating for the past year. Hair is just hair... but it is my big day and I want everything to be so perfect.

Since I have a strapless dress, and a choker style necklace, I think it would be best if I chose an up do.... but my big dilemma is whether I should go vintage or modern?

You all must know by now that I'm having a vintage inspired weddings (30s) but I don't know if I should go all out and include my hairstyle too. What do you think? I love the look of the 30s and my hair is long enough to do practically all the styles imaginable... but I have to take into consideration that I have a elbow length veil... and not a blusher (which happens to be the typical vintage inspired veil)

I also really liked the idea of a having a low updo (I don't even know if that makes sense) like in the top 2 pictures (of the modern section) Like a low bun or something along those lines. I even purchased a rhinestone comb for the extra sparkle.

I need your opinions on this one. First off - should I hire a professional to do my hair? Secondly, do I go vintage or modern? I know you will all say... I have to try the look to know, but at the same time, I don't feel like paying for trials if in the end my MOH will be doing my hair... HELP
