Post Wedding - Chop Chop!

October 6th, 2008 @ 4:53 pm by Miss Taffy

Many bees have gone for the post wedding chop.Mrs. Toucan,Mrs. Radish,Mrs. Snow Pea… the list goes on and on!

Last night I was explaining the post wedding chop concept to Mr. Taffy, and his take on the idea had me laughing all night! I told him that I am thinking about going for the post wedding chop, and was also explaining that I am considering becoming a two veil bride, one long veil and one short veil. His response:

Why wait until after the wedding day to chop, when you can just get the haircut before the reception?

I thought having a long veil and a short veil in the same day would be dramatic, but Mr. Taffy has taken the idea to a whole new level! Can you imagine having your hair cut in between the ceremony and reception? I suppose you could pull it off if you had enough time between, but it still seems crazy. I will be sticking with the long veil - short veil plan myself! Mr. Taffy will have to wait. :)

Have you ever heard of a bride actually doing the post wedding chop, post ceremony?

All Dolled Up

September 29th, 2008 @ 3:29 pm by Mrs. Pineapple

Requisite before shot, I think I like this look even better.

When it came to having my hair and make-up done for the wedding, I had a plan, a good one, but no back-up. So, when it came to the hair trial, I was really hoping things would go well.

Six years later, we're tying the knot (where else?) at WDW. We're having a Disney wedding with close friends and family, a reception in Napa for my family and another reception back here in Ohio for his family. Three wedding receptions in two months? No problem! When I'm not planning our celebrations I'm usually playing Wii or doing other craft projects, although my favorite thing to do is curl up with a huge bowl of popcorn and watch old movies.

Hair + Makeup

September 27th, 2008 @ 10:31 am by Miss Flip Flop

I had a hair + makeup run through with Anna from Makeover Majic recently. The trial was $100, which is a little steep, but I had heard wonderful things about Anna from other Disney brides and I figured the trial run was well worth the investment.

Here are the inspiration photos I brought:

Hair

September 21st, 2008 @ 4:08 pm by Miss Spring Roll

I have long, bland, pin straight hair. It won’t hold a long loose curl for the life of me, and is bumpy if I try to put it up. Thanks to Florida’s heat and humidity, I rarely wear my hair down. It usually resides in a side pony tail or sloppy side bun. Both of which I do not want to wear on our wedding day.

The Avocado Bun Video

September 19th, 2008 @ 11:54 am by Miss Avocado

After I posted about my bridesmaid birdcage veils, Miss Dumpling and Miss Sea Breeze asked how I did my hair for the veil modeling, and I decided to do a little video to show you how insanely easy it is. I’m sorry that the fan in the background is so loud and distracting, and that the quality of the video isn’t that great (I had to optimize it to a very low quality in order load it onto YouTube) but I was rather impressed with how fabulously my little Pia II handled my first attempt at video making.

Miss Martini's Picture
Miss Martini, New Jersey Age and Occupation: 30, Telecom by day, Superhero by night Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Investments & Finance by day, Hip hop dancer by night Engagement Date: May 24, 2008 Wedding Date: March, 2009 Blogging Since: August 18, 2008 Venue: The Venetian About Me: Things that make me happy: Haribo Happy Cola gummies, TV shows on DVD, buying books although I never read them, 80’s rock ballads, ramen, and of course Mr. Martini! He is the calm, logical and number crunching finance guy. I can’t even multiply double digit numbers in my head and I am so indecisive that trying to choose between light green or slightly lighter green paper stresses me out (Wedding planning is going to be soooo much fun). We both find great joy in nabbing great seats at the movie theater for a blockbuster movie on opening weekend, and we are both absolutely crazy about snowboarding. And he loves to cook, I love to eat!
About Miss Martini

I have a confession.

I don’t have any eyebrows. Well, I DO have eyebrows, but if I let them have their way with my face, it would be a jungle! I get my eyebrows from my dad. They’re thick, but they look triangular. It’s a little hard to explain, but the first half of my brows shoot straight up, then the second half of my brows shoot straight down. Once I start plucking away at the second half, I pretty much end up with two little stubs of brows. I’ve been over-plucking my brows for a long time, and for as long as I can remember I have been at the mercy of my trusty brow liner.

I thought that was okay. I will even go as far as to say I thought my brows looked good! Yes, I have to make a run for it whenever it rains, but people get surprised when I confess that my brows are drawn in.

When it came time to find a makeup artist for the wedding, I knew I wanted to treat my bridesmaids to hair and makeup, and I also knew that I had to find someone who had a team, rather than just one person, since there are nine women who will be getting their hair and makeup done: two moms, six bridesmaids, and the bride. I was also looking for someone who did both hair and makeup, since that would have been the most cost efficient and convenient for so many people. I tend to wear a lot of makeup and I’m used to the smoky look, so I wanted someone who could give me a natural look, and still make me look good (It would take an army of beasts to drag me out of a house without make up on).

A friend recommended Blush to Mr. Martini, so we decided to check them out a couple of months ago.

Last week I decided to follow in the long tradition of bees and brides everywhere, and so like Mrs. Toucan, Mrs. Lemon, Mrs. Snow Pea, Mrs. Petunia and Mrs. Radish before me, I give you the newlywed chop:


Seven inches of carefully grown out bride hair on the cutting floor. Yay! I’d been waiting to do this for months!

Anyone else have a big post-wedding chop planned?

Product Review: Deeeeeeep Conditioner

August 29th, 2008 @ 11:27 am by Miss Lemonade

I like to have a little fun with my hair color. I’ve sported everything from the lightest platinum to a deep espresso. Currently I’m rocking my natural dark blond, but I’ve been adding more and more blond highlights. I love the baby blond strands but I totally hate how fried my hair can get.

I had been on the lookout for a new deep conditioner that would work wonders on my damaged tresses for a while, and I thought I’d tried pretty much all of them out there. Well, recently I was at the CVS picking up some allergy medicine (Yay, Texas!) when I was lured over to the hair care aisle by all of the pretty packaging. There, I noticed a line I hadn’t heard of before.

Hairy Dilemma

August 20th, 2008 @ 5:40 pm by Mrs. Margarita

My makeup/hair people called me yesterday and cancelled my appointment for our Mendhi night. UGH! I was definitely upset/mad and had a little breakdown, but I’m back to normal now. It was after business hours by the time I found out, so I’m gonna have to try my best to find another hair/makeup person in a little over a week. Any suggestions for Orange County hair/makeup people would be greatly appreciated!

After receiving that bit of news, I realized that I’d never shown the hive what my potential hair styles are going to be. I’ve been collecting lots of pictures of different hairstyles over the past few months. I want an up-do for my first outfit (ivory colored bridal sari) and a half-up look for my second outfit (red and copper colored lengha). The problem there is that I don’t have a lot of time to change my hair and makeup, so I’m hoping that I can find a style that easily transitions from all up to half down without looking messy.

I gathered these images so long ago that I’m not sure where I got them. If you know the sources, please let me know and I will credit them!

Hair Doing

August 20th, 2008 @ 11:57 am by Mrs. Pineapple

So finally after 18 months I have made an appointment to get my hair cut, colored (back to brown) and have my trial. I scheduled my appointment for the morning of my shower so I have a reason to have fancy hair. I am going to wear my hair down or down-ish. When I have my hair up, I feel really young and not pretty so that much was easy to decide.Here are some styles I am considering:
