This is tbe most natural look of the four. The hair is in an updo, but only a semi-formal one. Amy's wearing thin black eyeliner on her top and bottom lids, and her lip is nude, which puts her blue eyes and the tendrils framing her face that much more in the spotlight. It's definitely pretty, but I don't know that there's much else to say about it.
Amy's hair is half-up in this photo, which is a look I adore on Erin. She looks a bit more Hollywood here: bronzed skin, sheer pink gloss on her lips, and a more defined eye with extra liner and mascara on the outside. My favorite part of this makeup is the mascara on upper and lower lashes for a truly glamorous--without being too dramatic--set of peepers. 
The first word that comes to mind: dewy. It looks as if Amy's makeup artist may have forgone the matte foundation on this particular night. On the eyes, we see a more muted liner/mascara combo--see how Amy's lashes go out rather than flip up? She's rocking the ingenue image with peachy blush and lip color and a full-on porcelain base tone. The gathered side 'do is actually one of my most adored hairstyles, but it's probably more fit for a bridesmaid than a bride.
If I had straight-up, no-bones-about-it red hair and light eyes (and this hairstyle went with my dress), I would choose this as my bridal look. There is an appropriate balance between matte and shine on the face; the cheeks and forehead are tinted barely with a peachy bronze, but the outer cheeks and jawline are accentuated with a blush that has just the right amount of orange in it to complement the hair. Her eyes scream DRAMA, but with only black liner and mascara and a brown-based shadow that work with the pink-brown mouth to tie the whole look together. Finally, her eyebrows are so well-groomed here, and nicely shaped brows are the classy icing on every va-va-voom cupcake.
So...Erin and everyone else, what do you think?

one question --- is this a writing sample for instyle?
Erin is so pretty that she is going to look gorgeous however she wears her hair and makeup. However, I like both style #1 and style #4 best. XOXO, Leah
It's so hard to decide, but I thought I'd want my hair down, but now I'm liking #4...hello out there in the Noon blogosphere!

Muhlhan, I've never seen anyone with gorgeous, plentiful red hair such as yours. It is your "call sign," your "uniqueness," your "flav-a" if you will. I think you will look spectacular with whatever you decide, however, I think you need to sport the red locks loudly and proudly. My vote is for down (either all or half-up/ half-down) with the side bangs in #2. -- Bravo to the Bride. Carols
