About Me: It’s hard to believe that by the time Mr. Sundae and I get married we will have been together for almost ten years. When we first met in college we split dollar pitchers and now we share the mortgage payments. Despite our love for the city we are looking forward to tying the knot in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
Tables and Makeup, Oh My!
April 18th, 2008 @ 3:20 pm by Mrs. Sundae
We’re heading up to Wisconsin this weekend for a mock-up of our reception tables and for a hair and makeup trial! I am so excited I can hardly sit in my chair. I guess after all these months of planning, knowing that things are getting close and finally being able to do trial runs makes it seem so real…this is actually going to happen!
My Mom is bringing up two table runners - one without any edging and another (this cracks me up) that has ribbon on one side and bias tape on another. She wanted me to be able to see the difference between the two and decide which one I like, so she lightly attached both. Yet another reason to love Mama Sundae.
After the tables are situated, I’m having a hair and makeup trial at The Abbey Spa. After my last experience, I’ll admit that I am pretty nervous. This time I’m armed with inspiration pictures, but I’m trying to think of other ways I can decrease the odds of looking like a drag queen. I tried to be as specific as possible with the pictures. Here is my favorite one (source):
I love her makeup, and while she obviously has some really nice thick hair I think I can pull off something similar. I want a little more hair pulled back on the sides, so that I can do something like this with it (source):
Aside from bringing pictures and accurate descriptions of what I want, how do I decrease my chances of looking like I did before? Any tips and/or advice is greatly appreciated!
