It arrived yesterday, and due to some idiot who doesn't know the meaning of those big red octagonal signs with the word STOP on them, I got the day off work today, so I got to pick it up at the post office. It came in the smallest box they could have possibly put it in, but other than being wrinkled to all get out, it's in perfect shape ( Read more... )

I really would like my bridesmaids to get their make up done professionally on the day of the wedding...I only ask this because (not to be a snob), but their make up skills are pretty bad, and I want everyone to look coordinated and nice in the pictures. I am going to pay for all of them to get their hair done....Can I ask them that they must get ( Read more... )

Quick recap of who we are! I'm Lauren, 22 (23 when I get married), from Michigan. My fiance's name is Corey. We've been dating for 5 years and are planning a vintage travel themed wedding for June 2012. I'm so excited to be giving a huge update, because everything is finally coming together.

Our entire wedding is being paid for by my fiance and all of my bridal party knows that. Is it awful to ask anyone who wants hair and makeup done professionally to help us out a little bit with the costs? Makeup is going to be $85 a person ($200 for me) and hair I have no idea how much yet. Is it wrong if we ask everyone to give us $100 towards it ( Read more... )

Hi ladies. I'm a little over a month out now, and had my hair trial last week. I love my hairdresser, however she wants to do my hair one way and I have NO idea how I want it to be done. I have thin, fine, hair so I got extensions to give me a little more volume. Since I'm going with them, she wanted to do a half up/half down style. I was fine ( Read more... )

Hello fellow brides
just a quick question! If I wear this dress what type of veil should I wear? (I will be wearing my hair up)
Im still not sure if I will be wearing this style to the wedding, or just to the after party (which will be in another country so it would be nice to have a small dress and save on space!)

I have another "if I told you this what would you think" question! haha.

I have been talking with people about doing my Hair/Makeup here in the D.C. area and they've been giving me what I believe to be standard pricing based on other sites I've compared it to. I'm just wondering if this sounds outlandishly expensive or not?

I'm the girl doing the 1875 wedding, with the Southern food, the Gnostic/Roman ceremony, and possibly the most groomzilla of Groomzillas. (They don't call him a stitch nazi for nothing, y'all.)

Annnyway, I have decided on a hairstyle. But I am not sure how to handle the veil issue.

So, this question might seem kind of stupid, but I have about zero experience with beauty stuff and so forgive me for having to ask ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a little down about my hair. Can I see some brides with shorter hair (shoulders and above)? Bonus points if it was curly (naturally or not)!
