Wedding Wednesday: Bridesmaid Gifts

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to be talking about my wedding which truly was the best day of my life. I am blessed for have five wonderful bridesmaids who were by my side throughout the entire process. I gave them their gifts at the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding and I was rather proud of them. :) Here's a look at what they got!

I ordered them personalized bags on black friday and saved them all of these months! They are the perfect size for an overnight trip. 

I saw this on pintrest and loved the idea. I bought these hair ties for $1 at walmart and printed out this cute saying on cardstock at home. 

Bath and Body Works is my fav! I picked a fun summer scent that matched my colors. If you watch for sales and use coupons you can get a great deal. 

Old Navy Flip Flops! Watch out for the $1 day, that's when I bought mine. 

Tissues, these came in handy. 

EOS! I got the Costco pack and split it up, one per girl. Perfect since I had five! 

The robes were my favorite. I got them for each of the girls so we could get ready in them && take an adorable teaser picture. :)  

It was a lot, but since I spread it out over several months it was totally affordable. I recommend just picking up little things here and there, before you know it you have a great gift!

Wedding Wednesday: Hair Trial!

Last week I went for my hair trial with my mom. When I talked with the hair stylist originally she had said that she could do me, as well as 4 others in 2 1/2 hours. That shocked me because I've never gotten my hair done that fast. I was excited for the trial to not only see what my hair would look like, but also to see if she actually was that fast.

 I was nervous because I found this stylist from a local salon and not a personal recommendation. Thankfully as soon as we got to the salon I knew it would be a good choice. The decor was awesome and everyone was so friendly. I loved my stylist and she was immediately making me feel comfortable asking about my groom, the wedding, my bridesmaids, etc. We decided on what I wanted and she started working on my hair!


One thing she did comment on was that I need to not wash my hair the day of, or even the day before the wedding. She had a hard time getting the curls to hold because I had just washed my hair that morning. Even with that, I could get the idea of what it would be like and I was so happy she really understood what I wanted.

I think I am going to go with more volume in the back so that there is a bigger poof and maybe a little less pulled to the sides so that we can see the headband better. I am so relieved that it turned out so well and it makes me even more excited for my wedding!

Wedding Wednesday: Hair & Make-up Inspiration

I haven't been doing much wedding stuff lately because I feel like I'm just in a holding pattern waiting for it to get closer. One of the more recent things I have done is book my hair and make up artist which has been looking on pintrest for some inspiration.

Here are some of my favorites:

I am obsessed with this look. I plan on wearing a headband and a veil so it's perfect. I don't like loose hair or anything too poofy and I think this is the perfect combination. Simple yet elegant. 

A similar style but a little more volume at the top. 

I love her make up! I like the browns and think I will definitely be doing something that is more natural but with a little drama with the eyeliner and mascara. I also really want to wear false eyelashes but my mom is totally against it, so I will have to see how well my make up artist does in the trial.

Speaking of that, how early did you ladies do you trials? My wedding isn't until august but I don't know when to do it. I am tempted to do it earlier just so that I know for sure I want to stick with that team but I also don't want to seem rude for having it so early. Any advice??
