Bimbi284

Okey dokey, I promised some pics, so here ya go!! I'll update my bio someday with more (including my invite embossing tutorial), but here are highlights :-)

Awesome place card/favors my MOH put together:

Guests/setting (mostly family, hosted at MOH's aunt's house in WI - my mama is taking a big bite of yummy quiche here, lol):

Ribbon bouquet created by my BM, Molly (too lazy to rotate it now, sorry):

Hair/Makeup by Julie from Smart&Chic (We'll be making a few tweaks for the day-of like adding some more volume to the hair, and NOT using airbrush foundation/changing some of the colors a bit):

Dress fitting! (You can see some of the makeup color issues in this one): 

Making sure I can sit, lol.

Your dress looks beautiful! 

Why don't you want to use the airbrush makeup?  Just curious, because most of what I've read, people love it.  I never wear makeup, so I had planned on getting the airbrush done because people say you don't even notice it. 

Bimbi284

Shameless,

    I have naturally oily skin, and some discoloration, so I am used to more coverage and I like more of a porcelain look versus a dewy look (dewy on me=grease fest). Once the airbrush mixed with my natural oils (less than 2 hours), I was really greasy (more so than with what I use on a daily basis), and the color was off/became kinda orange. I'm also used to wearing makeup everyday.  People who don't normally wear a lot of makeup tend to like airbrush because it is light. For me, it just didn't work.

Looking good! Love the dress on you! I also have very oily skin, I'm guessing I won't be using the airbrush makeup either based on what your saying!

lovebuddies

Love your dress on you!!

Thanks for the info on airbrush make up.  I also have very oily skin and some blotchy spots, so I'll know to probably stay away from the airbrush.

LOVE your dress! It is stunning!

Your dress looks fantastic!
Thanks for the info on airbrushing too! I have combo skin so I am still going to try it but now I think I will look at it a bit closer. Who is doing your hair and makeup from S&C?

I have combo skin and I did the airbrushing makeup.  I absolutely LOVED it.  It was flawless.

I just posted a picture in another thread.  But I'll post again here.  (this is the airbrushed coverup and fake lashes)

Thanks ladies!!

drdfabio: Julie is doing my hair and makeup

drdifabio

Awesome! She is doing mine too! So excitied!

Bimbi284

Yay for Julie!! She is super sweet and really receptive to ideas and whether or not you like something, which I found to be good because I am REALLY picky about makeup. Knowing that she is really laid back about that and wants you to really feel comfortable and beautiful is definitely awesome.

drdifabio

Oh that is great to hear! I can be really picky too so I am glad to hear that she is receptive to that!

LOVE your dress!  I'm still waiting to contact S&C once I know what the girls want to do.... should I be getting a hold of them already? (I'm November 7th)

Bimbi284

I got a hold of them pretty early on Steph. They didn't require me to tell them exactly how many people would be getting their hair and makeup done in order to book with them. I knew that I for sure wanted it, so I went with that, and then within a couple of weeks I knew who out of my girls wanted it done, and just let them know.

One of the first things I did on my to-do list was book Julie.  I heard she was the best... I still don't have a final count on what the girls want to do, I just made sure I reserved them for "maybe 7" girls.  But DEFINATELY Julie for me!
