AW: Hair and Make-up Trial and lots of DIY - PIP and PIB heavy!

leggwilliams

Here's some catch-up on the last of my DIY projects (at least I'm telling myself this is the last of it. Since I'm two weeks out I probably shouldn't start anymore!) So sorry, this is a long one! I'll try and keep it as short as I can, and there are a lot more/bigger pics and instructions in my bio.

Memorial Table:



Bar Signs:



Candy Buffet Sign:



Bathroom Basket Signs:



Assembled Escort Card Boards:



Wreaths for the chapel doors:



Placecard holders for the rehearsal dinner:





I also had my hair and make-up trial on the 6th before my bachelorette party. It went really well and my artist (Amber B of Smart and Chic) was super nice and even took down my updo when she was done and styled it for the party.

Front of hair:



Back of hair (though I'm probably going to ask her to get rid of the extra stringy things hanging in back):



Make up:



Eye Close Up:



Side view:



Sassy hair for the bachelorette party:

SuperRNluvsChef

Beautiful! Where did you get the frames? They are gorgeous.

All of it's nice but I love the candy bar frames and the wooden card holders particularly!

You makeup looks fantastic.  Your hair looks great (minus the two ringlets, I agree).   I actually like it down, too but I'm a little biased to hair being down on the wedding day.

 I actually had Amber B, too!  I just posted my pics on the Oc' 11 month board.  I'm really glad I got her for my wedding day because she knows her makeup.  I like my hair, too but I think I'm going to add just a little more curl all around based on suggestions and after reviewing it again.

Love your DIYs and your hair!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the hair and make up.

I also absolutely adore the escort cards!  

and HOLY CRAP YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED IN TWO WEEKS.  I remember when you had two years to go! Are you super excited??

Thanks so much ladies!

Graysquirell- I found them at Big Lots in St. Cloud for $6 a piece...they were black and I spray painted them navy to match our colors. They were a pretty great find, the store only had 3 of them left!

Steph and Kayla- I KNOW, RIGHT?! I can't believe I'm finally so close! I only have one full week of work left and then work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and then I'm off for the wedding! That's absolutely unbelievable to me....I don't think it's fully hit me yet.

I had the same question about the frames, they are great!!!  Interested in selling them after (and I mean right after) your wedding?  :)  I am getting married 2 weeks after you!  Are they 4x6 or 5x7??

leggwilliams

I would totally be willing to sell them Jenn! PM me your email address and we'll talk. I believe they are 4x6 but I'll have to double check on that.

ETA: Yup, 4x6!

Well done and I love how your hair and makeup turned out! I've got my trial tomorrow night, how did you handle tipping?

KateJ10

You look beautiful!! I love the look.

And I love your wreaths- they look great!

leggwilliams

I tipped on the trial. I know most people have said they wait and include the tip for the trial with the tip for the day of, but I thought it was a nice gesture and extra incentive to do a good job on the wedding day :-)

quincygirl77

Thanks legg, that is what I was thinking too

Bimbi284

Lookin' snazzy Legg!! I really like all of your cute signs and stuff too! Nice work lady!!

leggwilliams
