I haven't done a Wedding Wednesday post for a while and I thought I would share my lastest story with you.
Well yes I’ve found all that stuff already, but what I have FINALLY found is someone to do my wedding hair and makeup. I realize this may not seem like a big deal but this has been a rough subject lately. As you may have read previously I had a bad experience getting my makeup done for Ace and I’s engagement pictures and that was supposed to be my “trial” for the wedding. STRIKE ONE!
Okay, no problem, I talked to a salon close to my mom’s house and they said they do wedding hair and makeup. So I go in for a consultation and the lady said she doesn’t have any makeup but we can bring our own and she can put it on for us. Ummm, what? Then I show her like six pictures of pretty wedding hair that I stole from Pinterest and she got to working her magic. Or so I thought that’s what she was doing. She curled and teased the mess out of everything and since I want a half up/half down hairdo she took the hair from the sides of my face and literally tied them in a knot at the back of my head. The anticipation was killing me and I was all excited until the she turns the chair around. The only way I can think to describe it is “Thank you for the country music award”. Let’s just say I was not happy. STRIKE TWO!
I decide to ask around and talked to a friend about a great salon I had been to years ago and thought it would be perfect. So I called and guess what, there was a girl who called the day before who is getting married on the same day that I am, but in North Carolina and the whole salon was going up for that. Are you kidding me! Well they called me back and a girl could stay back and do my hair. Yay! Next was to schedule a trial before I set up my bridal portraits. Well apparently the girl only works every other Monday and some Saturdays. I’m sorry, what? I don’t live in Columbia, the portraits will be in Charleston, and my dress is in Greenville, so along with trying to coordinate all that I also need to schedule it on a random Monday (because the photographer and venue are working actual weddings on Saturdays). I don’t think so. STRIKE THREE!
I was officially worried. Then I randomly told my hair/makeup story to a friend and she suggested a place I hadn’t thought of. I called them, set up an appointment in 5 minutes, showed the hair stylist my pictures, she did her thing and at the end of 15 minutes I had the perfect wedding hairstyle. Seriously, could it be this easy? The next test was the makeup trial. I had my trusty pictures, and not only did she follow them but she improved on them. It was so beyond easy. I guess the first tries were just to add to my fun list of wedding planning stories. Anyway, to wrap everything up, I have my hair and makeup all scheduled, awesome!
It finally happened! It’s been a really long and interesting road but the search is over. I have found my perfect match. Are you wondering what I’m talking about? The perfect dress, the perfect venue, the perfect prince charming….
