Alternative to Hairspray for Wedding Style

My daughter wants me to do her hair in a messy half-up/half-down for her wedding. It will, of course, need staying power for the whole, long day. She doesn't want me to use hairspray, though, because her experience with her hair is that it not only doesn't work, but makes her curls fall faster (she's tried many brands). So I need help -- what products can I use to keep her hair picture perfect all day (especially alternative sprays, since spritzing as I go is the only technique I know for this), and are their any particular methods or videos you'd recommend? TIA!

Recommendations needed for good bridal makeup artist in Northern Bucks that won't break the bank.

My daughter is getting married north of Quakertown (Fogelsville) in a few months, and she's asked me to find someone who can do hair and makeup. We'd like someone who can travel to our venue or whom we'll be near as we drive up from Chalfont. There are so many vendors, though, I'm at a loss -- plus the quotes we've gotten so far for just the two of us have been >$1,000, which is more than we spent for her dress! We want natural makeup and very simple hair that will look good both in person and in photos, and last throughout the event, so we're not looking for anything elaborate or complicated. Can anyone recommend a vendor you've had personal experience with who made you feel beautiful and is more reasonably priced, please?
