Another Wednesday, another wedding post!
The girls spent Saturday morning at Metropolis Salon {downtown near the corner of Taylor & Main Street} sipping on mimosas and bellinis while getting our hair and make up done. It was the perfect location & the staff at Metropolis was so accommodating!
If you're in the Columbia area, Amy at Metropolis is so, so, so amazing. I knew as much after my hair & make up trial for bridal portraits but she knocked it out of the park on wedding day, too.
My one tip? If you're the bride or a mother-of-the-bride/groom, I 100% suggest doing a hair and make up trial prior to the wedding day. Just trust me. Do it. You do not want to get to wedding day and either not know what you want to do or try out something new that you end up hating.
The whole getting ready process went almost 100% smoothly. There was one tiny, itsy-bitsy stressful moment but at the end of the day there were 7 pretty bridesmaids, one happy bride, and a beautiful mother-of-the-bride.
We raced back to the hotel to grab dresses & off to the church we went!

Alright, y'all have suffered through all of the non-professional pictures. And all the events that only mattered to the bride/groom & bridal party. Hope you're ready for all of the fun, professional pictures now!
I was super top secret about my wedding dress & Patrick was 100% adamant about not doing a first look. What happens when you combine those two things? Check back next week :)

Can't wait to hear about your dress/first look shenanigans! Your hair was gorgeous, just so classic and pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese are such fun candid shots! You know I'm digging those monogrammed tumblers too- such a great gift for your bridal party!
ReplyDeleteYou know, my mom is going to our wedding hair stylist on Friday, and I'm going to suggest she do a trial run for her wedding hair!
ReplyDeleteLove the cute, monogrammed wine glasses. What a great keepsake. We did not do a first look. I can't wait to see your professional photos.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the adorable monogrammed wine tumblers from? I would love to get one for tailgates!
ReplyDeleteLove all the candid photos of you girls getting ready!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time getting ready! I agree that a trial is soon important. That's when all the decisions are made!

I was just in a wedding over the weekend and I loved being spoiled and having hair and make-up done. I definitely agree on the trial run comment. It's so important that you make sure you love your look before hand!
ReplyDeleteLove your hair!! We pretty much had the same hair do! It is so classy and bridey!
ReplyDeleteCheerful preparation for the wedding. On your faces are not visible anxiety, it is very good. When I met my future wife http://nikolaev-marriage-agency.com/nikolayev-place-to-look-bride/ and took the first major step we have fallen into a tornado of love, and then we had a wedding. At the wedding, we were so excited that we forgot about the most important, about our feelings. After that, in any situation, we try to keep this in mind. This made our feelings stronger.
