HI fellow NOLA Brides,
I am trying to work out the logistics for the wedding day and am getting stressed over suites/ getting ready. Our wedding is at St. Louis Cathedral, and we will need a hotel suite to get ready in. We have blocks at the Omni and Westin, but the Omni only has a 300 sq foot suite available, and the Westin suites look so sterile and business like, although they have offered us a deal. I am considering staying in the suite on the night of the rehearsal, getting ready in it on the day of the wedding, and then staying in it the night of our wedding as well. But I am nervous bridesmaids, etc. will leave stuff in it. Does anyone have suggestions on this? What about getting ready in a hotel that we don't have a block in? Another hiccup is that almost all hotels have a 2 night min. because the wedding is during Jazzfest. I definitely want to be in the FQ. Also, what are other FQ brides doing about transportation? I could theoretically walk to the church (and take pics along the way) but not sure this is a good idea. Lastly, any suggestions on going to a salon to have hair done or bringing someone in?
Thanks!
