How to style to get nice waves or curls that last the day

Advice needed please on curling my hair. I am a total beginner to styling my hair, but will be attending a wedding in a month or so and want to put some gentle waves/curls in my hair.
I have fine slightly wavy hair, quite a lot of it, and it's just below shoulder length.
What is the best hair tool to use? I've tried curling with straighteners before and could not get the knack. I am thinking a wide barrel curling tongs? Any suggestions?
And whats the best way to get waves/curls to last the whole day (if possible). I read using hair spray before styling, but won't that just fry the hair?
Thanks in advance.
