Bridesmaids and the day before wedding questions

Ladies,

Are you asking your bridesmaids to stay with you the night before the wedding?

Are you asking them to get their hair done the morning of or the day before the wedding?

What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same?

    Are you asking your bridesmaids to stay with you the night before the wedding?
    We set up the hotel room block at a hotel that's across the street from where I'm staying.  I'm staying at the Marriott since I got a suite and the rooms at the Hyatt Place where the guests are staying were too small to have all of my bridesmaids in.  I'd like for the people who are coming from out of town to stay in the hotel so they can just come by in the morning for hair and makeup.  For the people that are local, I'm not requiring them to get a hotel room since that's just more money out of their pocket.  I'm just making sure that they're at my hotel by a certain time.

    Are you asking them to get their hair done the morning of or the day before the wedding?
    I'm having my hair dresser come to me and whoever can afford it will get their hair done.  For the local girls, I'd like for them to get their hair done the day before with their own stylists if they don't want to use mine.

    What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same?
    They can get whatever color they want.  I'm not making any demands on things like this, just as long as it's nothing crazy like neon green, but all of my girls have some sense so I'm not worried about it.

    Are you asking your bridesmaids to stay with you the night before the wedding? No. Most of them will probably be bringing their spouse.

    Are you asking them to get their hair done the morning of or the day before the wedding?  I would like for them to get their hair done the day before. I plan for us to do breakfast and makeup at the mall the morning of the wedding.

    What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same? Pink and white Tips or something neutral.  No bold airbrushes or loud colors.

    My MOHs both have locs...the others, since they are all flying into denver will need hair done before the wedding, and I don't want them getting it done the day of.

    What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same?
    I hadn't thought about that...it doesn't have to be the same but I will limit their color options to clear, red, pink, or a french manicure and no designs ...don't want anything crazy

    Are you asking your bridesmaids to stay with you the night before the wedding?
    Girl yes, most of my BMs have a problem with being on time to things so I want everyone together. I am determined not to start my wedding late. If it starts late it will be because of me and not because a BM is not ready yet. All the guys are staying together and all the women are as well.

    Are you asking them to get their hair done the morning of or the day before the wedding?  I have an early wedding. We have to be at the chapel at 10:30 for before picks of the girls, the wedding starts at 12noon. So hair appointments for everyone is to be done the night before, and we just gone have to sleep pretty! Makeup is the only thing done the day of the wedding.

    What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same? Not the same decoration, but the same color. White and light blue.

    Okay I was just making sure I wasn't on Bridezilla mode over here. So most of you seem to be doing neutral colors for the nails and nothing outlandish for the toes.

    I am getting a suite so the ladies can stay with me or not. I guess I'd at the very least prefer my matron and maid to stay but whatever. I guess I will figure it out.

    Are you asking your bridesmaids to stay with you the night before the wedding? Im not making it mandatory..but I am setting up a hotel room where they can stay with me if they want. All my bms are coming from out of state..so they probably will.

    Are you asking them to get their hair done the morning of or the day before the wedding? I don't care as long as they don't look a mess.

    What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same?Not picky. Just don't want them looking ghetto.

    Not asking, but they are welcomed to. Only 2 of my BMs & my 2 hostesses are OOT & they probably will. Honestly, all but 1 probably will cause they'll want to be with all of us...lol.

    Are you asking them to get their hair done the morning of or the day before the wedding?
    Knowing them, they'll get it done the day of.

    What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same?
    I asked them to wear grey/silver. We're going together to the nail shop so we make sure the colors are the same shade.

    Are you asking your bridesmaids to stay with you the night before the wedding? Yes.  We have a hotel block so Ihave asked them all to stay at least that Friday night.  We are having an early wedding as well (12 noon) and the MUA & photographer are coming at 9.

    Are you asking them to get their hair done the morning of or the day before the wedding? The day before.

    What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same?  Nothing crazy, would prefer french manicured hands and feet.  If not, a solid color is fine.

    Our wedding is a destination wedding and all of the girls except for one will be coming from out of town. I probably will require that they stay in the same hotel on that Friday night (we have two blocks in Atlanta). But I am not requiring them to stay in the room with me. Knowing them, most might especially since Jason is planning on getting his own room for the week.

    Are you asking them to get their hair done the morning of or the day before the wedding? The day before especially for anyone that need to get extensions. I will be getting my extensions done that day before also. So most will probably only get styled that morning.

    What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same? I plan on maybe paying for their nails, so it will me natural nails going on.

    Thanks ladies I think ultimately I have made my decisions.

    I won't require them to stay but if they would like then they are more than welcome.

    Nails with colors will be fine but laid back colors nothing over the top.

    Hair can be done that a.m. but early.

    The day before or of doesn't matter. My MOH is a stylist so she is doing mine and his sister is white so she will have to get it done morning of. Actually I hadn't given this much thought.

    What about their nail polish and toe polish colors? Are you requiring them to be the same?
    I have seven bridesmaids so my nail salon is closing shop the day before for me and my party. His mom and my mom will also get there's done. plus eyebrows and pedis. I think I wil let them chose as long as it matches and looks rational. Hmmm good questions.
