Our Wedding: Hair + Make-Up
Whoa, it's been a minute since my last wedding post. I guess life got real busy... but I want to finish this series, so next up is hair and make-up.
I chose to invest the majority of the beauty budget to make-up... It's one of those things that I really don't have a clue about as I don't wear much on the daily. When it came down to it, I knew that I'd be hiring Chelsey Matley. I'd seen her work with so many previous brides and my photographer sang praises about her as well. We have tons of mutual friends and I knew she'd be awesome. Most of my bridesmaids would probably say the same and I wanted them to feel beautiful on the big day as well. Chelsey not only did my make-up but all five of my bridesmaids and each one of them looked incredible.
This is one of my favorite frames. So good.
Next up is hair... because make-up was an investment, I went on the good ol' Facebook and asked around if I had any good friends who did hair as more of a hobby... and being the awesome lady that she is, a friend from college (Deandra Hamer) stepped up to the plate. I didn't want to do anything crazy with the hair; I just knew that I wanted it down. We did a few trial runs and I'm really happy with the work she did for me! And for an amazing price ;) She also helped out with everyone else's hair too. Thanks girl!
My advice when it comes to this... I really don't have much, truthfully. I am not a make-up/hair guru AT ALL. I can't even curl my own hair and for the most part, my hair holds curls pretty well. #fail. So, I had to hire out or ask for help because these areas were not my forte. If you've got room in the budget, I'd say hire pros... and if not, and you're great at this stuff, then save some dolla bills and do it yourself! :)
