The morning of our wedding was a quiet one. My final night as a single lady was spent with my bridesmaids. We woke up that morning and immediately had our make-up done. To save money I chose to skip a professional make-up artist. (Helpful tip) Instead we all hopped in the car and visited our local mall! Cheesy I know, but hey it saved us each $75 or more!
If you're looking to save money this way, consider making an appointment at a local Mac, Clinique, etc counter in a department store. I had had a trial run for my bridal portraits done at the Mac counter in Macy's at Lynnhaven Mall, so I knew that's where I would go. Clinique offers free make overs (with the hope that you will at least purchase one product), so you can get away with only paying $15 or so there. At Mac they do require you to spend $50, but I got some really great products for retouching throughout the evening (and to use after the wedding).
Afterwards, we headed to my parent's hotel to get ready and have our hair done by the talented Elissa Johnson.
Then we were off to the Lesner to get dressed! Eeeek! The show was about to begin!
Meanwhile back at the ranch... the boys got ready by watching the World Cup. That's about it!
