Getting Ready Part I
December 14th, 2007 @ 2:41 pm by Mrs. Onion
As many of you know, finding a hair stylist and make-up artist was the hardest part of planning a wedding 300 miles away. Here is my post about my trials so you can see what went into my wedding day hair/make-up.
My mother, mother-in-law and I got our hair and make-up done at the Stephen & Burns Aveda salon in Burlington, VT the morning of the wedding. We had a really nice time and I was thrilled with the final product. First I’ll share the hair — Britney did my hair and she was so patient and sweet.

Do you mind sharing how was the brooch converted into a hairpin? I’ve got some vintage jewelry that I’m looking to modify.
Hi Dahlia — sure thing. I’ll dedicate a post to this, but basically, the accesories person at Mark Ingram’s Bridal Atelier slipped a “converter hair comb” onto the pin so it could still be used as a pin is I wanted.
Good post! I’m also planning to convert my great-grandmother’s brooch into a hair. And am planning a wedding from hundreds of miles away: you’re right! hair/make-up are by far the most challenging things to book.
Nice! I like beehive looks since I will look bald in the front if I don’t add a little height to it but yours look great on you!
Your hair looks gorgeous and your mom is too cute! It looks like you all had fun 
[...] my hair was finished (see previous post) Veronica, from the Stephen & Burns Aveda Salon, began working on my make-up. I was so happy [...]

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.
Oh my gosh your hair is so long! You looked so pretty!
