I'm a self-proclaimed attention-w****. If it involves a camera, I'm in front of it! You'll never meet a girlier tomboy than me.

Made Up

October 27th, 2009 @ 4:40 pm by Miss Labrador

A couple weekends ago, I had my makeup trial with Savannah’s famed Jules of Dollface by Jules. I had a blast with Jules who is a bride-to-be herself. She’s super stylish and very easy going. I know she’ll provide some comic relief and much needed calmness to my big day while getting ready.

These photos really don’t do her work justice. I had driven 4 hours…

Beauty on the Outside

September 22nd, 2009 @ 2:43 pm by Mrs. Sunbeam

On the same busy day that I had my second hair trial, I got it together and visited a makeup artist in the city looking for guidance on how to put on my makeup for my wedding day. A bonus was trying out the full bridal look,since I kept my hair trial style intact all day! Signing up for a makeup lesson was not done…

Hair Trials and Trials Again.

September 21st, 2009 @ 1:10 pm by Mrs. Sunbeam

Two Sundays ago I went for yet another hair trial. When I say another, I mean this will be my second of three hair trials. Yes, you heard me. Three hair trials, followed by the final ‘do. When I think about my wedding day hair I just don’t know what I want, and it’s worth the money to me to go in and find out…

About Mrs. Swan

When we last left me, your worried heroine, I was NOT at all happy with my hair situation.

I had a rough draft, I was not happy with the real run-through for a variety of reasons, and there I was, practically a week before the wedding, stressing about what to do with my hair. At this point, Mr. Swan stepped in. During the process he had…

Hair Love

September 1st, 2009 @ 12:31 pm by Mrs. Star

I had my hair trial the other day and, though I wasn’t sure about it at first, I can definitely say now that I am in love!

I knew that I wanted big curls and my hair up, but low on my head. I also wanted some visual interest in the front to avoid just having my hair pulled straight back. That’s about all I knew!…

The Hair: Part 2

August 30th, 2009 @ 6:05 pm by Mrs. Beagle

I went in for a second trial and Jeanie was as lovely as ever. On the actual day of, the curls will be set longer so that everything doesn’t just fall out as soon as I take my hair down (which was kind of the case after the trial, thanks to Texas weather). Please note, it is really hard to take pictures of the back of your…

Hair & Makeup: Part 1

August 28th, 2009 @ 6:00 pm by Mrs. Beagle

I’ll warn you ahead of time, this post is filled with lots of pictures of moi. Last Friday, I had my hair/makeup trial. Even though I had plenty of time to prep for this, I went in uncertain of exactly what I wanted. I showed Jeanie my inspiration pictures and after a few minutes of deliberating (and taking in to account factors such as the Texas humidity), I…

A Tale of a Hair Trial - Hmmmm… (Part 2)

August 25th, 2009 @ 5:24 pm by Mrs. Swan

Remember how my first hair trial was more of a rough draft?

Well, I went back for a more formal hair trial that would allow me to see how the style would look on my actual wedding date. That meant that my hair needed to be washed, the roots re-twisted, and then styled. (By the way, I am sure that many of you can’t visualize what…

This past weekend I went back up to the UP for the last time before the wedding. In addition to vendor meetings to make sure everyone is on the right track for the big day, I had my makeup trial.

When I got to the salon, Leah, the girl who will be doing my makeup, told me to look at the makeup book they have to…

Gettin’ My Hair & Face Done

August 20th, 2009 @ 10:32 am by Mrs. Stiletto

A little while back I had posted about my hair inspirations in preparation for my hair trial. There’s so much great inspiration out there, but I was nervous that I’d pick out styles that my hair wouldn’t cooperate with, or that I wouldn’t end up liking.

I’d finally narrowed it down to this great style:

I was born and raised in a small East Texas town, but I'm no country girl! I'm obsessed with British accents, fantasy (including Harry Potter, of course), and classic rock. My fiance and I consider ourselves both music and beer snobs--but every once in awhile we love to hear a crappy band and drink a cheap brew or two. We're planning an eco-friendly, casual, English garden affair for the end of summer, and we can't wait for it to get here!
About Mrs. Mouse

So I finally had my hair and makeup trial yesterday. It was more about playing around with makeup colors and getting a feel for different hair options. Keep that in mind when looking at the results—the look will be much more polished on the big day!

For the makeup, I told Lauren that I just wanted a very natural look, with fresh glowy cheeks (courtesy of…

Aside from just getting my makeup figured out for the wedding, I was especially excited for the trial because my makeup artist is my very good friend Janelle, who is an artist and regional manager for Laura Mercier. She’s done lots of weddings and knows what does and doesn’t work. I’ve known Janelle since I was in high school, and her husband, David is the…

Hair Trial: The Real Thing

August 11th, 2009 @ 11:49 am by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

Hive. I’ve found her. The magic maker (aka hairstylist) who will make my hair look like the things of my inspiration pictures. I teetered between a bun, a side pony, half-up, or completely down and curly. But Candace Post from Hot Heads Salon walked off the seesaw and left me teetering no more. I’ve decided that I’ll be doing a side bun. And I’m pretty…

Hair Every Which Way

July 31st, 2009 @ 6:05 pm by Mrs. Sunbeam

After nearly a year of growing out my hair, it was time to find a hairdresser and do a trial. I went to PA in May and met up with two local ladies to try things out. One was Momma Sunbeam’s hairdresser, and the other a stylist who worked about 45 minutes away that I found via Craigslist.

I took an inspiration board with me since it’s much easier to explain things in pictures (the bun had been tossed aside, but is back in my folder now!).

With the hair part done (thanks so much, you guys rock!), it’s time to discuss the makeup part of “getting prettified”. The one thing that always surprises me about bridal makeup is how intense it is. Which makes sense, since I’ll be running around for hours in the August heat being photographed. However… on a Sunday morning… grabbing coffee after the trial? Well… perhaps that…
