Vintage/Retro Hair, question + Videos!

A friends wedding is coming up in a few months. I've decided to go for a very tropical 1950's look, complete with the right hair and makeup. I plan to use a nice big flower over my ear, but I'm still trying to figure out the hairstyle as my hair is quite long.

I'm a natural redhead, my hair is VERY healthy and reaches about my tail bone. There's layers up front that start a bit beyond chin level. It's quite thick, straight but prone to a slight wave when it's happy. I'm thinking a very classy, unique style that isn't over done. Any suggestions? I'm hair impaired so I might just ask a hair stylist friend.

Here's some GREAT videos I've found on retro hairstyles.

This is my favorite style, I'm thinking of trying this as it looks pretty simple and it's not the typical overdone Rockabilly look.
