Getting Ready Teasers
October 31st, 2007 @ 12:59 pm by Mrs. Onion
Blogging has changed the way weddings are planned. Brides are taking on more and more themselves with the help of great websites like our very own weddingbee.com. But it’s not just blogs about weddings, but vendors sharing their work on their own blogs. Mrs. Ant compiled The Ultimate Wedding Photography Blog List. This was hours of entertainment for me (wedding photography websites are among my favorites) and I encourage you all to check it out.
In the meantime I wanted to share a few getting ready teaser photos from my photographer, Daria Bishop, that she featured on her blog.
I got my hair and make-up done at the Stephen & Burns Aveda Salon on Church Street in Burlington, VT. It took a number of trials at other salons to find the right one for me, but I was thrilled with the results. Britney did my hair and Veronica did my make-up and both were so sweet and talented. Thanks ladies!
Mr. Onion got a trim and shave with the guys at The Men’s Room also on Church Street just a few blocks away from the Aveda.
Mr. Onion’s beautiful Hugo Boss shoes that I bought for him as a gift from Bloomingdale’s. Tip: Open store credit cards for the 10% discount for big purchases. I also did this at Saks Fifth Avenue for our groomsmen’s ties.
More to come soon!

I was just going to say was Miss Emerald wrote - I love that the guys went out and got ready someplace too. That is very cute!
I don’t usually post, but I just HAVE to say that I love your pictures!! I cheated and went to your photographer’s website….the one with the 2 of you at Ben and Jerry is just classic, especially for a wedding in Vermont!!
great pics. can’t wait to see the rest.
i’d be careful about opening up too many store cards within a given period. sure the initial discount is great but too many credit requests/inquiries like that [esp if they're bunched together] tends to count against your credit score. not to mention the interest rate is astronomical. sorry for getting all academic…i’m pretty psycho about my credit score. lol
emerald and maegan — thanks! i am glad the guys got some papering too. they had a great time together and with daria’s husband (and second shooter) andy!
soychick — thank you SO much for your kind words. i’m glad you liked them. i am so glad we made the time to go to ben & jerry’s — what was great was no one even really noticed us until they saw two photographers!
tea - i opened them simply to pay them off right away — no interest for me! i didn’t close them right away so it didn’t look funny on my credit score, but i plan to in the next month or so. thanks for looking out for me though! i won’t make a habit of it.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing more of your pro pics! These are great…can’t wait for more 
Awesome pics!
Speaking of the effect of wedding blogs: the double edged sword is that while it allows people to share thoughts, it also creates an unintentional sense of competition and one-upmanship. Not to be sensational, but does anybody else ever feel this way at all?

About Me: I didn't think I'd be "that girl," but I am having so much fun planning our wedding (mostly by myself). I'm a PR and Marketing Director for a major jazz festival and camp by day, and by night, a romantic jazz singer and bride-to-be! I hope all my research can help other brides in their planning.
I love that the guys got to get ready somewhere fun too!!!!
