This weekend was probably my busiest wedding related weekend yet! I got so many things checked off my list and they are finally ready to share with y’all! Whooo hoo! The first thing from this weekend that I want to share, are the results of my hair and makeup trial. MOH A and BM S came into town this weekend to help me finish some crafty things on my DIY list and to just be supportive as the stress level is beginning to climb. On Friday I had my first dress fitting, but I’m going to wait until the wedding day to show you the finished product!! Saturday morning, however, was the morning of my trials. I was so excited!
You may remember that I was pretty adamant about doing my own makeup. Due to the fact that my skin is rebelling under the stress, I decided I am going to leave the makeup to the experts. Especially because I NEVER wear foundation, so I don’t want to look cakey or overly done.
I printed off my inspiration pictures and headed over to Inspirations Salon and Spa, which is literally across the street from me. MOH A and BM S went off to get us some Dr. Pepper (we were up until five in the morning indulging in adult beverages and laughing and being silly!), and I let my wonderful stylists get right to work.
MOH A and BM S hung out and retold stories of our days in college (and in BM S’s cases, middle school, high school, AND college), and made me laugh. The time flew by and before I knew it, I was all dolled up!
I’m going to be wearing the flower only during the reception. I borrowed a veil from the beautiful Mrs. Raccoon, and it’s so elaborate and gorgeous, I wanted it to stand alone during the ceremony. After we do our first dance, it will be lovingly packed away to be returned, and this flower will be slipped in to take its place. Once we got back to my apartment, MOH A took like, 10 more pictures.
I absolutely love my wedding look. It’s soft and so romantic feeling, I also love the pop of the red lip. I think my stylists did a fantastic job and I can’t wait to see the look completely pulled together!
What do you think of my hair and makeup? Did you get your hair and makeup professionally done? Was it worth the price? What was (is) the favorite part of your wedding day look?
